I have forgot to eat and sleep with reading, And all my faculties turn into studie; 'Tis meat and sleep; what need I outward garments, When I can cloathe my self with understanding? The stars and glorious planets have no Taylors, Yet ever new they are and shine like Courtiers. The seasons of the yeare find no fond parents, Yet some are arm'd in silver Ice that glisters, And sovne in gawdy green come in like Masquers: The Silk-worme spines her owne suit and her lodging, And has no aid nor partner in her labours: Why should we care for any thing but knowledge, Or look upon the world but to contemne it?
Lewis, Angellina; Sylvia, Notary.
Brisac, Andrew, Cooke, Lilly.
Wait on your Master, he shall have that befits him;
Charles.
What a noise is in this house, my head is broken, Within a Parenthesis, in every corner, As if the earth were shaken with some strange Collect, There are stirres and motions. What Planet rules this house?
Where to live neere, And planted there, Is to live, and still live new; Where to gain a favour is More then light, perpetual blisse, Make me live by serving you.
Nere talke to me, you are no men but Masquers, Shapes, shadowes, and the signes of men, Court bubbles, That every breath or breakes or blowes away, You have no soules, no metal in your bloods, No heat to stir ye when ye have occasion, Frozen dull things that must be turn'd with leavers; Are you the Courtiers and the travail'd Gallants? The spritely fellowes, that the people talk of? Ye have no more Spirit than three sleepy sops.
Th'are here, my Uncle absent, stand close to me. How doe you brother with your curious story? Have you not read her yet sufficiently?
Eustace, Egremont. Cowsy.
