Book Description

Excerpt from Thomas Middleton, Vol. 2 Is the match of any man's, but it is never drawn save in a good cause. She is frank and free-spoken; when among friends the mood takes her, she can even sing a wanton song and accompany it on the viol but she is modest for all that, and woe to the man who attempts to take liberties! She is ac quainted with the shapes of iniquity, but she moves among them uncontaminated, and uses her know ledge not to practise but to defeat vice. She is a knight-errant who goes about succouring distressed lovers in the way of honesty, and she would like in her own person to avenge all the wrongs of women. She declares at the end that she will not marry until many wrongs are righted; Honesty and truth unslandered, Women manned but never pandered.
