Dia.

Tis not the many oathes that makes the truth,

But the plaine single vow, that is vow'd true:

What is not holie, that we sweare not by,

But take the high'st to witnesse: then pray you tell

me,

If I should sweare by Ioues great attributes,

I lou'd you deerely, would you beleeue my oathes,

When I did loue you ill? This ha's no holding

To sweare by him whom I protest to loue

That I will worke against him. Therefore your oaths

Are words and poore conditions, but vnseal'd

At lest in my opinion.
