Therefore, good youth, address thy gait unto her. Be not denied access, stand at her doors, And tell them, there thy fixed foot shall grow Till thou have audience.
Vio. Sure, my noble lord,
If she be so abandoned to her sorrow
20
As it is spoke, she never, will admit me.
Duke. Be clamorous and leap all civil bounds Rather than make unprofited return.
Vio. Say I do speak with her, my lord, what then?
Duke. O, then unfold the passion of my love, ,
25
Surprise her with discourse of my dear faith. It shall become thee well to act my woes. She will attend it butter iii thy youth Than in a nuncio of more grave aspect.
Vio. I think not so, my lord.
Duke. Dear lad, believe it;
30
For they shall yet belie thy happy years, That say thou art man. Diana's lip Is not more smooth and rubious, thy small pipe Is as the maiden's organ, shrill and sound,
And all is semblative a woman's part.
