Chair, to whom he offers his Glass, which she puts by, and goes  
about to rise.  
COMUS: Nay Lady sit; if I but wave this wand  
Your nerves are all chain'd up in Alablaster,  
And you a statue; or as Daphne was  
Root-bound, that fled Apollo.  
660  
La: Fool do not boast,  
Thou canst not touch the freedom of my minde  
With all thy charms, although this corporal rinde  
Thou haste immanacl'd, while Heav'n sees good.  
Co: Why are you vext Lady? why do you frown  
Here dwell no frowns, nor anger, from these gates  
Sorrow flies farr: See here be all the pleasures  
That fancy can beget on youthfull thoughts,  
When the fresh blood grows lively, and returns  
Brisk as the April buds in Primrose-season.  
And first behold this cordial Julep here  
670  
That flames, and dances in his crystal bounds  
With spirits of balm, and fragrant Syrops mixt.  
Not that Nepenthes which the wife of Thone,  
In Egypt gave to Jove-born Helena  
Is of such power to stir up joy as this,  
To life so friendly, or so cool to thirst.
