But who will trust a louers pen or tongue,
That vse all protestations thus to flatter: For this base fellow that was so perplext, Sent this one monday, and was married next. _Sara_. Now out vpon him most dissembling creature, Ile warrant you that he can neuer thriue, He showes himselfe, euen of as bad a nature, As euer was in any man aliue: Alas poore foole that hath this fellow got, Shee hath a Iewell of him, hath she not? _Nell_. Yes surely hath she, (waying all things deepe,) A louer that will tast as sweete as gall, One that is better farre to hang then keepe, And I perswade me you doe thinke so all: Excepting onely partiall _Mistris Bride_, For she stands stoutly to the married side. _Bride_. So farre as reason, and as right requires, I will defend them both by word and deede, Yet haue I no apology for lyers, |
