PAssion of Virginity, Ianthe, how shall we quit our selves of this Pandresse, that is so importu nate to speak with us? Is she known to be a Pandresse? A shrew take your comparison. Lets call out Argus that bold Ass that never weighs what he does or says; but walks and talks Like one in a sleep; to relate her attendance to my Lady, and present her. You must tell my Lady here's a Gentle-wo man called Arsace, her Honours Tenant, attends her, to impart important business to her. Give me your Present; I'll do all I can, to make way both for it and your self. Stand unseen. Go to; Let us alone. Arsace? You must pardon us, we can not obtain your ac cease. This is something of importance. Madam, she swears your Honour is undone if she speak not with you instantly. She makes her business your Honour Madame, and entreats for the good of that, her instant speech with you. And I pray you what is it now? Nay twould trouble Argus with his hundred eyes to descry the cause. 'Twere a sin to suspect her; I have been witness to so many of her fearful protestations to our late Lord a gainst that course, to her infinite oaths imprinted on his lips, and sealed in his heart with such imprecations to her bed, if ever it should receive a second impression, to her oh pen and often detestations of that incestuous life (as she termed it) of widows marriages, as being but a kind of lawful adultery; Like usury permitted by the law, not ap proved. That to wed a second, was no better then to cuc kold the first: That women should entertain wedlock as one body, as one life, beyond which there were no desire, no thought, no repentance from it, no restitution to it. So as if the conscience of her vows should not restrain her, yet the world's shame to break such a constant resolution, should repress any such motion in her. Well Ianthe, 'twere high time we made in, to partly our Lady and her Spartan wooer. I, and to him to, I believe; For by this time he hath spent the last dram of his news. Well then, lets in; But my Master's, wait you on your charge at your perils, See that you guard her approach from any more intruders. True, excepting him indeed, for a guard of men is not able to keep him out ant please your Honour. If he should, Tharsalio would not take it ill at his hands, for he does but his Ladies commandment. By Venus but he does: or else she hath herd my Ladies prayers, and sent some gracious spirit in his likeness to fright away that Spartan wooer, that hants her. Your Women Sir? Weel believe that, when our Lady has a new Son of your getting. Not we Sir, we are no parters of frays. He does become it most enflamingly. Hark how he courts: he is enamoured too. Dance; and his heart catch in and others hand. She present your Honour with this Jewel? His Lordship hath procured a new Pacquet from his Altitude. Just good wittals.
Plot summary
Plot — The Widow's Tears
Renouncing Fortune and devoting himself instead to the goddess Confidence, Tharsalio intends to woo the widowed Countess Eudora. His wooing technique is grossly sexual, and he also quarrels with a rival, Rebus. Rebuffed and mocked by his family, he seeks out Arsace and bribes her to advise Eudora not to marry him, but when he returns to her and throws out Rebus, he is rejected a second time. Finally, however, she accepts him, and their wedding is marked by a masque. ===== PAGE 180 ===== Lysander is concerned about his wife Cynthia’s constancy, and plans to test it by faking his own death: with the help of Lycus he undertakes a journey and sends back a report that he has been murdered by mountain bandits. His body is interred in the family monument; Cynthia and her waiting-woman go to live in the tomb in order to be near him. Lysander returns incognito, disguised as a soldier assigned as the sentinel of the cemetery. He successfully seduces Cynthia, but she insists that their liaison be conducted privately to avoid compromising her reputation. Tharsalio sees them kissing inside the tomb and takes revenge on the ‘sentinel’ by stealing one of the crucified bodies he is supposed to be watching. When this is discovered, Cynthia suggests disinterring Lysander’s body and substituting it for the stolen one. Lysander goes to fetch a crowbar, removes his disguise, and meets Tharsalio, who deduces what is happening and informs Cynthia. She is thus able to pretend that she knew who the ‘sentinel’ was all along. Lycus is arrested for Lysander’s murder, and the tomb is opened to test whether his presence will make the corpse’s wounds bleed; but the coffin proves to be empty, and the ‘sentinel’ is found hiding in the tomb. Both men are sent for trial by the Governor, recently appointed with a hard-line law-and-order policy. Eudora intervenes to explain the truth, and Lycus is released; after Tharsalio replaces the stolen body, so is Lysander. Tharsalio allows him to believe that Cynthia was never tempted to infidelity.
