I left no ring with her: what means this lady?
Fortune forbid my outside have
not charm'd her!
She made good view of me; indeed, so much,
That sure
methought her eyes had lost her tongue,
For she did speak in starts
distractedly.
She loves me, sure; the cunning of her passion
Invites me in
this churlish messenger.
None of my lord's ring! why, he sent her none.
I
am the man: if it be so, as 'tis,
Poor lady, she were better love a
dream.
Disguise, I see, thou art a wickedness,
Wherein the pregnant enemy
does much.
How easy is it for the proper-false
In women's waxen hearts to
set their forms!
Alas, our frailty is the cause, not we!
For such as we
are made of, such we be.
How will this fadge? my master loves her dearly;
And I, poor monster, fond as much on him;
And she, mistaken, seems to
dote on me.
What will become of this? As I am man,
My state is desperate
for my master's love;
As I am woman,.now alas the day!.
What thriftless
sighs shall poor Olivia breathe!
O time! thou must untangle this, not
I;
It is too hard a knot for me to untie!
