[Scene III]<17>

[Enter FERDINAND, DUCHESS, CARDINAL, and CARIOLA]

CARDINAL. We are to part from you; and your own discretion
Must now be your director.

FERDINAND. You are a widow:
You know already what man is; and therefore
Let not youth, high promotion, eloquence----

CARDINAL. No,
Nor anything without the addition, honour,
Sway your high blood.

FERDINAND. Marry! they are most luxurious<18>
Will wed twice.

CARDINAL. O, fie!

FERDINAND. Their livers are more spotted
Than Laban's sheep.<19>

DUCHESS. Diamonds are of most value,
They say, that have pass'd through most jewellers' hands.

FERDINAND. Whores by that rule are precious.
