ASO. I conceive you sir. I shall perform all these things in good
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, if you would be exotic and exquisite. 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?" |
