Wild. Thou'rt not in love! True. Heigh ho! Wild. Thou wouldst not marry! True. With your help. Wild. And whom, I prithee? True. Gentle Mistress Constance! Wild. What!--neighbour Constance?--Never did I dream That mortal man would fall in love with her. [Aside.] In love with neighbour Constance!--I feel strange At thought that she should marry!--[Aside.] Go to church With neighbour Constance! That's a steeple-chase I never thought of. I feel very strange! What seest in neighbour Constance? True. Lovers' eyes See with a vision proper to themselves; Yet thousand eyes will vouch what mine affirm. First, then, I see in her the mould express Of woman--stature, feature, body, limb - Breathing the gentle sex we value most, When most 'tis at antipodes with ours! Wild. You mean that neighbour Constance is a woman. |
