Thy love, sweet Will, hath chainde it to my memory. Sure, this is a beauteous gallant walk. Were my continual residence in London, I should make much use of such a pleasure: Me thinks the glorious virgins of this square Gives life to dead struck youth; O heavens! By my sweet Hope's of and hereafter bliss, I never saw a fairer face then this: Oh for acquaintance with so rich a beauty. Have at her then. Faith nothing, had I thee. For in thine eye all my desires I see. Faith virgin in my days, I have worn & outworn much, Yea, many of these golden necessaries; But such a gallant beauty, or such a form I never saw, nor never wore the Like: Faith be not then unkind, but let me wear This shape of thine, although I buy it deer. Mistake not sweet your garment is the cover, That vails the shape and pleasures of a lover. A garment made by cunning Arts-men's skill, Hides all defects that Nature's swerving hand Hath done amiss, and makes the shape seem pure; If then it grace such lame deformity, It adds a greater grnce to purity. How misconstruction leads your thoughts awry. Marry gip Minx. Now you display your virtues, as they are. This is no place for brawls, but if it were, Your impositions are more then I would bear. And well remembered, kind Will Bennet, Others affairs made me oblivious Of mine own; I pray thee go to the Exchange, I have certain bans, and other linen to buy, Prithee accompany me.
