I should blame your discretion for loving that wild man, my dear; but they say he has a way of bewitching that few can defend their hearts who know him.
MRS. LOVEIT
I will tear him from mine, or die i' the attempt!
BELLINDA
Be more moderate.
MRS. LOVEIT
Would I had daggers, darts, or poisoned arrows in my breast, so I could but remove the thoughts of him from thence!

To a great, rambling, lone house that looks as it were not inhabited, the family's so small. There you'll find my mother, an old lame aunt, and myself, sir, perched up on chairs at a distance in a large parlor, sitting moping like three or four melancholy birds in a spacious volary. Does not this stagger your resolution?
DORIMANT
Not at all, madam. The first time I saw you, you left me with the pangs of love upon me; and this day my soul has quite given up her liberty.

Men are but children of a larger growth;
Our appetites as apt to change as theirs,
And full as craving too, and full as vain;
And yet the soul, shut up in her dark room,
Viewing so clear abroad, at home sees nothing:
But, like a mole in earth, busy and blind,
Works all her folly up, and casts it outward
To the world's open view: Thus I discovered,
And blamed the love of ruined Antony:
Yet wish that I were he, to be so ruined.
