Bass. Vntill confirm'd, sign'd, ratified by you.
Por. Por.
Por. You see my Lord Bassiano where I stand,
Por. Such as I am; though for my selfe alone
Por. I would not be ambitious in my wish,
Por. To wish my selfe much better, yet for you,
Por. I would be trebled twenty times my selfe,
Por. A thousand times more faire, ten thousand times
Por. More rich, that onely to stand high in your account,
Por. I might in vertues, beauties, liuings, friends,
Por. Exceed account: but the full summe of me
Por. Is sum of nothing: which to terme in grosse,
Por. Is an vnlessoned girle, vnschool'd, vnpractiz'd,
Por. Happy in this, she is not yet so old
Por. But she may learne: happier then this,
Por. Shee is not bred so dull but she can learne;
Por. Happiest of all, is that her gentle spirit
Por. Commits it selfe to yours to be directed,
Por. As from her Lord, her Gouernour, her King.
Por. My selfe, and what is mine, to you and yours
