=Ma.= I put case a yong man cast his loue vpon one, which he ought not to loue, or maye not lawfully obtaine, as an other man hys wyfe, or a Virgine, which hath professed continuall chastitie, shall she loue him againe, so to preserue and saue hir louer?
=Pam.= But this yong man loueth that, which to loue is both lawfull and godly, and standeth both with reason and equity, and yet neuerthelesse is cast away. That in case you set light by the crime of homicide, I will aguilt you also of sorcerie and enchaunting me.
=Ma.= Marrie gods forbod man, what will you make of me a _Circes_ ympe, a witch?
=Pa.= Yea and somewhat more cruell yet, than euer was _Circes_. For I had rather be a groueling Hog or beare, then as I am, without life or soule.
=Ma.= And with what kinde of sorcerie I praye ye doe I destroy men.
=Ma.= Will you then that I hurt you no more with loking vpon you?
=Pam.= Not so for Gods sake, but rather looke more vpon me.
=Ma.= If mine eyes be witches, how hapneth it then that other also do not consume awaye, whome I looke vpon as ofte as you, therfore I feare me much, y^e bewitching is in your owne eyes, not in mine.
=Pam.= Why thinke you it not inough to flea _Pamphilus_, except you triumph ouer him being dead.
=Maria.= Oh queint handsome, nise dead body: when shall your funerals be prouided for.
=Pam.= Sooner than you thinke ywisse, except you remedie in time.
=Ma.= I remedie good Lord? am I able to doe such a cure?
=Pam.= Yea surely: all were I deade, it lyeth in you to rayse me vp againe to life, and that with a light thing.
=Maria.= As you say, peraduenture I might doe it, if some bodye woulde helpe me to the herbe _Panaces_, wherevnto they ascribe so great a vertue.
=Pam.= There needeth none herbes to doe it, only vouchsafe to loue againe, what is more easie to be perfourmed? nay rather what is more due and iust? otherwise you shall neuer acquite your selfe of manspilling.
=Maria.= And before what iudgement seate shall I be arrayned, before the seuere =Areopagetes= and God will?
=Pam.= Not so, but before the tribunall seate of _Venus_.
=Maria.= Best of al, for they say she is a patient and pitiful Goddesse.
=Pam.= Say you so, there is not one amongst them all, whose wrath is more to be feared.
