Scene 2.
The Ladies of this Age, are as inconstant as a fevourish pulse, and their affections have more sainting sits, than those are troubled with Epilepses.
Faith they will hang about ones neck one hour, and spit in his Face the next.
That is because they would have variety, for they respect Strangers more than friends; for they will entertain Strangers with the ci∣villest Behaviours, fairest Faces, and costliest Garments they have, and make them welcome with their best Cheer, when as their best Friends, lovingest Servants, and oldest Acquaintance, they will neglect, despise, scorn, com∣mand, and rail against, and quarrel with.
O Gentlemen, brave Cavaliers as you all are, you must ne∣ver complain, discommend, not condemn the Actions of the Effeminate Sex; for that we are apt to call their Cruelty, is their Justice, our Sex meriting not their favours; and whensoever we receive the least favours from that Sex, we ought to give thanks, as proceeding from a compassionate Good∣ness, gentle Nature, sweet Dispositions, and generous Souls, and not as a due, or a debt for our service: for we are bound by Nature, not only to be their Servants, but their Slaves, to be lasht with their frowns, if we be not diligent to their commands, present at their calls, industrious in their ser∣vice, and our neglects ought to be severely punished; for we wear our lives only for their sakes, as to defend their Honours, to protect their Persons, to obey their Commands, and to please and delight their humours; also the Estates we manage is theirs, not ours, we are but their Stuards, to Husband and increase thier Stores, to receive their Revenues, and lay out their Expen∣ces, for we have nothing we call our own, since we our selves are theirs; wherefore it is enough for us to admire their Beautyes, to applaud their Wit, to worship their Virtues, and give thanks for their Favours.
