CAP. 16.
HAd I more leasure, I would teach yee manie other rules to be obser∣ued in loue: but I see the Comedie is in some for∣wardnes, & the Personages ready at∣tyred that are to present it: then till some other time & place conuenient wil I refer what remains as yet vndis∣couered, as hauing not gone throgh a quarter of the hundred kindes of loue. In meane while, sweet Sisters, shew your selues pleasing and tracta∣ble to your Louers, be not offensiue to them, and thereby hurtfull to your selues. Be warned by the multitude of so many exāples, change not plesure
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
for paine, solace for sighing, and all loues heauen, for foule hates hell.
As ye desire to be beloued, so shew you the like: no enchauntment, no hearbe, no charme preuailes so much in loue, as the verie power of an im∣moouable affection.
Loue then, and shun all misbeliefe of your Louer, then will he embrace ye with all due correspondence: dis∣robe your selues of iealous doubts, disdaines and opinions; so shal your liues bee matchlesse, and your Loues im∣mortall.
Tutto vince Amare.
