From The Scornful Lady by Francis Beaumont

female · anguished · 57 sec

And vow'd a thousand services to me; to me, regardless of him: But since Fate, that no power can withstand, has taken from me my first, and best love, and to weep away my youth is a mere folly, I will shew you what I determine sir: you shall know all: Call M. Welford there: That Gentleman I mean to make the model of my Fortunes, and in his chast imbraces keep alive the memory of my lost lovely Loveless: he is somewhat like him too. (Elder Lo: Then you can love.) Yes certainly Sir? Though it please you to think me hard and cruel, I hope I shall perswade you otherwise.
