"CUPID, TELUSA, EUROTA, LARISSA, enter singing.TELUSA: O yes, O yes, if any maid, Whom lering Cupid has betraid To frownes of spite, to eyes of scorne, And would in madness now see torne The boy in pieces,—ALL THREE: Let her come Hither, and lay on him her doome.EUROTA: O yes, O yes, has any lost A heart, which many a sigh hath cost; Is any cozened of a teare, Which (as a pearle) disdaine does weare?ALL THREE: Here stands the thiefe, let her but come Hither, and lay on him her doome.LARISSA: Is any one undone by fire, And turn'd to ashes through desire? Did ever any lady weepe, Being cheated of her golden sleepe? Stolne by sicke thoughts!ALL THREE: The pirat's found, And in her teares hee shal be drown'd. Reade his inditement, let him heare What hee's to trust to: boy give eare."
