time, I doubt not, they do so hit me.

AMO. Well sir, I am your lady; make use of any of these
beginnings, or some other out of your own invention; and prove how
you can hold up, and follow it. Say, say.

ASO. Yes sir. "My dear Lindabrides."

AMO. No, you affect that Lindabrides too much; and let me tell you
it is not so courtly. Your pedant should provide you some parcels
of French, or some pretty commodity of Italian, to commence with,

ASO. Yes, sir, he was at my lodging t'other morning, I gave him a
doublet.

AMO. Double your benevolence, and give him the hose too; clothe
you his body, he will help to apparel your mind. But now, see what
your proper genius can perform alone, without adjection of any
other Minerva.

ASO. I comprehend you sir.

AMO. I do stand you, sir; fall back to your first place. Good,
passing well: very properly pursued.

ASO. "Beautiful, ambiguous, and sufficient lady, what! are you all
alone?"
