Webster, John, 1580-1625

"The White Devil"

It will show in you a supremacy of judgment.

Cam. True, and a mind differing from the tumultuary opinion; for, quae
negata, grata.

Flam. Right: you are the adamant shall draw her to you, though you keep
distance off.

Cam. A philosophical reason.

Flam. Walk by her a' th' nobleman's fashion, and tell her you will lie
with her at the end of the progress.

Cam. Vittoria, I cannot be induc'd, or as a man would say, incited----

Vit. To do what, sir?

Cam. To lie with you to-night. Your silkworm used to fast every third
day, and the next following spins the better. To-morrow at night, I am
for you.

Vit. You 'll spin a fair thread, trust to 't.

Flam. But do you hear, I shall have you steal to her chamber about
midnight.

Cam. Do you think so? why look you, brother, because you shall not say
I 'll gull you, take the key, lock me into the chamber, and say you
shall be sure of me.

Flam. In troth I will; I 'll be your jailor once.

Cam. A pox on 't, as I am a Christian! tell me to-morrow how scurvily
she takes my unkind parting.
