KATHERINE.
_Selby_.

Do not too far mistake me, gentlest wife; I meant to chide your virtues, not yourself, And those too with allowance.

I have not Been blest by thy fair side with five white years Of smooth and even wedlock, now to touch With any strain of harshness on a string Hath yielded me such music.
