    Take no repulse, whatever she doth say;
    For 'get you gone,' she doth not mean 'away.'

    Though ne'er so black, say they have angels' faces.
    That man that hath a tongue, I say is no man,
    If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.

If he be so resolved,
I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear
That unicorns may read more

If he be so resolved,
I can o'ersway him; for he loves to hear
That unicorns may be betrayed with trees
And bears with glasses, elephants with holes,
Lions with toils, and men with flatterers,
He says he does, being then most flattered.
