Scene 17.
Have not you heard that my Master hath had a Quarrel, and is wounded?
Yes; and 'tis said he fought so valiantly, as he beat half a do∣zen lusty men, and followed them so close, as they were forc'd to take shelter; and I have also heard, that one of them he beat, swears to be re∣venged.
But if my Lady hears of it, she will run mad, or die.
O no, my Lady (Ioan says) hath left those follies, and is be∣come discreet.
Discreet? what is that? to be ill-natur'd, as not to care if her Husband or Friends be kill'd?
O yes, so much to care, as to pity them, and be sorry, nay sad, if they should be kill'd; but not passionately to drown themselves in tears, or to let their grief feed on their life, and die.
