Scene 6.
What is the reason, Monsieur Satyrical, you do not marry?
The reason, Monsieur Inquisitive, is, that I cannot find a wife fit for me.
Why, there are women of all Ages, Births, Humours, Sta∣tures, Shapes, Complexions, Features, Behaviours, and Wits. But what think you of marrying the Lady Nobilissimo?
She is a Lady that out-reaches my Ambition.
What think you of the Lady Bellissimo?
She is a Lady for Admiration, and not for use.
What think you of marrying the Lady Piety?
She is a Lady to be pray'd unto as a Saint, not to be imbraced as wife.
What think you of the Lady Modesty?
She is a Lady that will not only quench amorous love, but the free matrimonial love.
What do you think of the Lady Sage?
She is a Lady to rule as a Husband, and not to be ruled as a Wife.
What think you of the Lady Politick?
She is a Lady fitter for Counsel than for Mariage.
What say you to the Lady Ceremony?
She is a Lady fitter for a Princely Throne, than the Mari∣age-bed.
What say you to the Lady Poetical?
She is a Lady fitter for Contemplation than Fruition.
What say you to the Lady Humility?
She is a Lady sooner won than enjoy'd.
What say you to the Lady Sprightly?
She is a Lady that will disquiet my rest, being fitter for dancing than sleeping.
What say to the Lady Prodigal?
She is a Lady I might feast with, but could not thrive with.
What say you to the Lady Vanity?
She is a Lady too various and extravagant for my humour.
What say you to the Lady Victoria?
She is a Lady I had rather hear of, than be inslaved by.
VVhat say you to the Lady Innocent Youth?
