Gonzalo: Yes, you were sister to the late Prince of _Candy_, Aunt to this young one: and I in _Venice_, Am born a Lord; equall to you in fortunes, In shape; I'le say no more, but view. Mochingo: There needs no more be said, were I a woman-- O he does rarely: in shape; I'le say no more, But view: who could say more, who better? Man is no man, nor woman woman is, Unless they have a pride like one of these. How poor the Prince of _Cyprus_ shews to him! How poor another Lady unto her! Carriage and State makes us seem demi-gods, Humility, like beasts, worms of the Earth. [Enter _Antinous_, and _Decius_.] Antinous: Royal Lady, I kiss your hand. Erota: Sir, I know you not. |
