I have lost one desire, 'tis not his crown
Shall buy me to thy bed: now I resolve He has dishonour'd thee; give me thy hand, Be careful of thy credit, and sin close, 'Tis all I wish; upon thy Chamber-floore I'le rest to night, that morning visiters May think we did as married people use. And prethee smile upon me when they come, And seem to toy, as if thou hadst been pleas'd With what we did. _Evad_. Fear not, I will do this. _Amint_. Come let us practise, and as wantonly As ever loving Bride and Bridegroom met, Lets laugh and enter here. _Evad_. I am content. _Amint_. Down all the swellings of my troubled heart. When we walk thus intwin'd, let all eyes see If ever Lovers better did agree. [_Exit_. _Enter_ Aspatia, Antiphila _and_ Olympias. _Asp_. Away, you are not sad, force it no further; Good Gods, how well you look! such a full colour Young bashful Brides put on: sure you are new married. |
