Scena, 2.

Cleora, Olinda.
Cleo.
Tell me Olinda, wert thou ever in love.

Olin.
Yes faith a little once for fashion sake,
as much as came to jeast,
and methought 'twas pretty sport;
but never in earnest I,
to make me whine and cry,
leave my meat, break my sleep,
and be melancholly and mad as my Lady is.

Cle.
Thou wert the wiser;
for love indeed is but a sort of madness:
and as you have several sorts of mad folks, so
you have of Lovers; some sad, some merry, some
milde and gentle, some raving and furious agen;
and for these, the Pazzarello was well invented,
whither shortly my Lady must be sent I think;
for she's mad, outragious mad against Aurindo,
and has accus'd him to the Duke,
for offering to ravish us.

Ol.
I wod he had faith.

Cle.
And see she comes,
and the Duke with her.
