My mistress, I think hath God a Gadfly, never at home, and yet none can tell where abroad. My master was a wise man, when he matched with such a woman. When she comes in, we must put out the fire, because of the smoke, hang up our hammers because of the noise, and do no work, but watch, what she wants. She is fair, but by my troath I doubt of her honesty. I must seek her, that I fear Mars hath found. I have found those I seek not. It may be: but I seek no such. Then will I swear thee to be a God. What care I. What care you. I deny that. In spite of all conclusions, I will deny it. I mean to answer you in no other place. It may be. And so mayest thou. Be they all divelles have horns? Then are there more devils on earth the ̄ in hell. I deny that. Whatsoever it is, that shall prove me a devil. But hearest thou scholar, I am a plain fellow, and can fashion nothing but with the hammer. What wilt thou say, if I prove thee a smith? I will prove it, or else, Or else I will not prove it. Thou art a Smith: therefore thou art a smith. The conclusion, you say, must not be denied: & therefore it is true, thou art a smith. I, but you shall not. Have I not touched him Cry ticus? And then he a devil, because a smith: for that it was his reason ̄ to make me a devil being a smith. I am content, my voice is as good as my reason. Since my being here, I have sweat Like a dog, to prove my master a devil, he brought such reasons to refel me, as I promise you, I shall Like the better of his wit, as long as I am with him. Thus, I always arguing that he had horns, & therefore a devil, he said: fool, they are things like horns, but no horns. For once in the Senate of Gods being hold a solemn sesion, in the amid of their talk I put in my sentence, which was so indifferent, that they all concluded it might aswell have been left out, as put in, and so placed on each side of my head things like horns, and called me a Parenthesis, Now my masters, this may be true, for I have seen it my self about di verse sentences. No, but were I Vulcan, I would by the Gods, Nothing, but as Vulcan halt by the Gods. Nay, Venus is easily entreated: but let that go bye. That which makes so many Parenthesis.
Plot summary
Plot — Sappho and Phao
Menus plans to visit Syracuse to make SAppH6 fall in love, and travels there on PHa0’s ferry-boat. She makes Phao beautiful; and, unknown to her, @iipi@ makes him irresistibly attractive to women, even though he is not interested in them. Sibyllaj whom the gods have given long life but not eternal youth, counsels Phao not to waste his prime years. He falls in love with Sappho, and Sibylla advises him on the technique of wooing. Sappho is taken ill; Phao, who has some pharmaceutical knowledge, is summoned to minister to her. In fact, her malady is love for Phao, whose base origins make him unsuitable for her. Venus too falls for Phao, and procures from Wailea new arrows for Cupid, with which he can break her rival Sappho’s infatuation and turn Phao’s affections her way. Cupid carries out the first part of his mission, but also tells Sappho what he has done; so she persuades him to use another of the new arrows to make Phao hate Venus. Cupid decides to be Sappho’s son instead of Venus’, and gives her his arrows: now she, not Venus, will be the lady of love. Venus swears to get even, and, convinced of love’s pointlessness, Phao leaves Sicily.
