Of _Amoret_. Pray Love he may not 'scape.
_Amar_. Beloved _Perigot_, shew me some place, Where I may rest my limbs, weak with the Chace Of thee, an hour before thou cam'st at least. _Per_. Beshrew my tardy steps: here shalt thou rest Upon this holy bank, no deadly Snake Upon this turf her self in folds doth make. Here is no poyson for the Toad to feed; Here boldly spread thy hands, no venom'd Weed Dares blister them, no slimy Snail dare creep Over thy face when thou art fast asleep; Here never durst the babling Cuckow spit, No slough of falling Star did ever hit Upon this bank: let this thy Cabin be, This other set with Violets for me. _Ama_. Thou dost not love me _Perigot_. _Per_. Fair maid, You only love to hear it often said; You do not doubt. _Amar_. Believe me but I do. _Per_. What shall we now begin again to woo? 'Tis the best way to make your Lover last, To play with him, when you have caught him fast. |
