what wilt thou counsel me to do in the thing you wot of? I have told you my opinion already. Puh, why not in a case of extremity, when the woe man is hight, and the man is cold in the business? Nothing less, but on the contrary, be assured you shall reap from them infinite love and thanks for laying them down such a president of boldness, but if you dispute pro & con, thus, and make such objections, you shall never obtain your desires while you live, I will warrant you. No question, Madame, he cannot but most willing lie embrace it, and bless his fortune for so high a favour. I would feign ask your Ladyship one question, if I might be so bold, and thereby not incur your displeasure. Taking your word for my warrant then, I desire to know if you be in earnest or in jest, for I cannot believe you should so soon forget the great Prince of Persia, and dote so extremely on this stranger, whose rank and quality you know not, but by conjecture. Madame, my help and furtherance shall not be won ting in any thing wherein I can do you service: let your wit contrive the way according to your desire, and let me alone to put it in execution. I cannot but approve your plot exceedingly Ma dame, for if there be then any fault escaped, or any small breach of maiden modesty made, it shall be imputed to the ink and paper, which is of too pale a colour to blush. No, suppose he be that poor exiled Prince of Dam mascus, is he to be compared, or in your good opinion to be preferred before the puis ant Persian, one of the greatest Monarchs of the world?
