Speeches (Lines) for WOMAN in "The Two Noble Kinsmen"

EMILIA. [to her Woman]
This garden has a world of pleasures in 't.
What flower is this?

WOMAN. 'Tis called narcissus, madam.

EMILIA. [to Woman]
Or were they all hard-hearted?

WOMAN. They could not be to one so fair.

EMILIA. Thou wouldst not.

WOMAN. I think I should not, madam.

EMILIA. That's a good wench.
But take heed to your kindness, though.

WOMAN. Why, madam?

EMILIA. [to Woman]
Canst not thou work such flowers in silk, wench?

WOMAN. Yes.

EMILIA. [to Woman]
Of all flowers
Methinks a rose is best.

WOMAN. Why, gentle madam?

EMILIA. It is the very emblem of a maid.
For when the west wind courts her gently,
How modestly she blows and paints the sun
With her chaste blushes! When the north comes near her,
Rude and impatient, then, like chastity,
She locks her beauties in her bud again,
And leaves him to base briers.

WOMAN. Yet, good madam,
Sometimes her modesty will blow so far
She falls for 't. A maid,
If she have any honor, would be loath
To take example by her.

PALAMON. She is all the beauty extant.

WOMAN. [to Woman]
The sun grows high. Let's walk in. Keep these
flowers.
We'll see how near art can come near their colors.
I am wondrous merry-hearted. I could laugh now.

WOMAN. [to Woman]
The sun grows high. Let's walk in. Keep these
flowers.
We'll see how near art can come near their colors.
I am wondrous merry-hearted. I could laugh now.

WOMAN. I could lie down, I am sure.

EMILIA. And take one with you?

WOMAN. That's as we bargain, madam.
