The original lines are in act 2, scene 1 of James Shirley (1596-1666), The Gratefvll Servant. A Comedie. As it was lately presented with good applause at the priuate House in Drury-Lane, By her Majesties Servants (London: Printed by B. A. and T. F. for John Grene [...], 1630). The passage reads: Cleon. I hope dread Sir, my house affords no obiect, To interrupt your quiet. Duke, None but Heauenly, Or could this roofe be capable of ill, Your onely presence Lady would conuert it. There is a virtuous Magick in your eye, For wheresoere it casts a beame, it does Create a goodnesse, y'aue a handsome boy. __________________________ Stefan Hoesel-Uhlig Corpus Christi College Cambridge CB2 1RH United Kingdom Phone: +44 1223 339717 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
