Enter the Duke of Inconstancy, and a Gentleman.
DUke Inconstancy.

Have you been with the Lady I sent you to?

Gentleman.

Yes.

Duke Inconstancy.

And doth she listen to Loves Sute?

Gentleman.

She seems well pleased to hear her Beauty praised, but will not hear of Amorous imbracements as yet.

Duke Inconstancy.

But it is a good Omen when as a Lady will nimblingly bite at a bait of flattery; but did you see her Husband?

Gentleman.

No Sir.

Duke Inconstancy.

Well, you must go again, and present her with a Letter, and a present from me; for Ladies must be plied though they deny, yet most do yield upon a treaty, they cannot long hold out loves fierce assaults.

Gentleman.

Indeed the Female Sex is tender and weak, although they are delicate and sweet.

Duke Inconstancy.

They are false and oft betray themselves.

Exeunt.
