[1] And yet if outward aliance were thought so re|quisite, he would find the means to enter thereinto, much better by other of his kin, where all the parties could be contented, than to marie himselfe whome he should happilie neuer loue; and for the possibilitie of more possessions, leese the fruit and pleasure of this that he had alreadie. For small pleasure taketh a man of all that euer he hath beside, if he be wiued a|gainst his appetite. And I doubt not (quoth he) but there be (as ye say) other, that be in euerie point com|parable with hir. And therefore I let not them that like them to wed them. No more is it reason, that it mislike anie man, that I marrie where it liketh me. And I am sure that my cousine of Warwike neither loueth me so little, to grudge at that I loue; nor is so vnreasonable, to looke that I should in choise of a wise, rather be ruled by his eie, than by mine owne: as though I were a ward that were bound to marie by the appointment of a gardian.
