Por.

If you had knowne the vertue of the Ring,

Or halfe her worthinesse that gaue the Ring,

Or your owne honour to containe the Ring,

You would not then haue parted with the Ring:

What man is there so much vnreasonable,

If you had pleas'd to haue defended it

With any termes of Zeale: wanted the modestie

To vrge the thing held as a ceremonie:

Nerrissa teaches me what to beleeue,

Ile die for't, but some Woman had the Ring?
