ABSTRACT

But as Ferardo went in post, so hee retourned in hast having concluded with Philautus, that the mariage should immediatly be consummated, which wrought such a content in Philautus, that he was almost in an extasie through the extremitie of his passions: such is the fulnesse and force of pleasure, that ther is nothing so daungerous as the fruition, yet knowing that delayes bring daungers, although hee nothing doubted of Lucilla whome hee loved, yet feared he the ficklenesse of olde men, which is alwayes to be mistrusted.
