Why should you think the Princess light?
_Di_. Why, she was taken at it. _Phi_. 'Tis false, O Heaven 'tis false: it cannot be, Can it? Speak Gentlemen, for love of truth speak; Is't possible? can women all be damn'd? _Di_. Why no, my Lord. _Phi_. Why then it cannot be. _Di_. And she was taken with her boy. _Phi_. What boy? _Di_. A Page, a boy that serves her. _Phi_. Oh good gods, a little boy? _Di_. I, know you him my Lord? _Phi_. Hell and sin know him? Sir, you are deceiv'd; I'le reason it a little coldly with you; If she were lustful, would she take a boy, That knows not yet desire? she would have one Should meet her thoughts and knows the sin he acts, Which is the great delight of wickedness; You are abus'd, and so is she, and I. |
