As Socrates' Xanthippe or a worse-

Affection's edge in me, were she as rough
As are the swelling Adriatic seas.

And so did mine too, as the matter falls;
For wooing here until I sweat again,

With oaths of love, at last- if promise last-

To have her love, provided that your fortune
Achiev'd her mistress.
