Independent Learning 24/11/12
Hi folks, sorry this has taken so long.
I would like you to take a look at this extract from 'Tis Pity She's a Whore by John Ford.
You may also like to do a little background reading.
Gio. Lost, I am lost: my fates haue doom'd my death:
The more I striue, I loue, the more I loue,
The lesse I hope: I see my ruine, certaine.
What Iudgement, or endeuors could apply
To my incurable and restlesse wounds,
I throughly haue examin'd, but in vaine:
O that it were not in Religion sinne,
To make our loue a God, and worship it.
I haue euen wearied heauen with prayers, dryed vp
The spring of my continuall teares, euen steru'd
My veines with dayly fasts: what wit or Art
Could Counsaile, I haue practiz'd; but alas
I find all these but dreames, and old mens tales
To flight vnsteedy youth; I'me still the same,
Or I must speake, or burst; tis not I know,
My lust; but tis my fare that leads me on.
Keepe feare and low faint hearted shame with slaues,
Ile tell her, that I loue her, though my heart
Were rated at the price of that attempt. Oh me! she comes.
Enter Anna and Putana.
Anna. Brother.
Gio. If such a thing As Courage dwell in men, (yee heauenly powers) Now double all that vertue in my tongue.
Anna. Why Brother, will you not speake to me?
Gio. Yes; how d'ee Sister?
Anna. Howsoeuer I am, me thinks you are not well.
Put. Blesse vs why are you so sad Sir.
Gio. Let me intreat you leaue vs awhile, Putana, Sister, I would be pryuate with you.
Anna. With-drawe Putana.
Put. I will, If this were any other Company for her, I should thinke my absence an office of some credit, but I will leaue them together.
Exit Putana.
Gio. Come Sister lend your hand, let's walke together. I hope you neede not blush to walke with mee, Here's none but you and I.
