Cosmetology
Cosmetology is the treatment of skin, hair and nails and includes, but is not limited to,
manicures, pedicures, application of artificial nails, special occasion hairstyling,
shampooing hair, cosmetic application, body hair removal, chemical hair relaxers or
straighteners, permanent waves, coloring and highlighting of hair, and hair extensions or
wig treatments. A person who is licensed in cosmetology is called a cosmetologist.

A cosmetologist, sometimes called a beautician, a beauty specialist, or an esthetician

or aesthetician, is a worker who specializes in giving beauty treatments. The recipients
of these treatments are usually women, however there is a growing number of men. A
general cosmetologist is proficient in all forms of beauty care and can give hair
treatments, facials, skin treatments, and nail treatments.

There are specific disciplines of cosmetology that some cosmetologists may specialize in.
The different types of special cosmetologists include hair stylists, shampooers,
manicurists, estheticians and electrologists. Many cosmetologists specialize in at least
one of these categories.

Hair Stylist

A hair stylist specializes in the styling of hair, including cutting, chemical perms
(relaxers, curls, waves) and color treatments. Hair stylists can also apply hair extensions
and weaves. Hair stylists can also shampoo and condition client's hair, though this is not
always necessary. Some hair stylists also give recommendations and perform work on
wigs and hairpieces.

Shampoo Technician

The shampoo technician is a sub-category of the hair stylist. A shampoo tech shampoos
and conditions a client's hair to create a balanced hair care finish for the hair stylist.
Shampoo techs are normally only employed by a corporate or concept salons,and large
volume beauty salons that are operated simultaneously.

Manicurist

A manicurist specializes in nail care, including manicures, pedicures, and nail extensions.
Esthetician

An esthetician, or aesthetician, specializes in the study of skin care, including facial

treatments, body wraps, including salt glows, waxing as a form of hair removal, and
cosmetic make-up services. Some estheticians also offer full body skin treatments and
other related services. In some states, estheticians work with dermatologists to offer more
services, including laser hair removal, laser skin resurfacing, and many types of chemical
peels.

Electrologist

An electrologist offers removal of unwanted hair via an electrolysis machine. As opposed

to the hair removal via waxing offered by an esthetician, hair removal via electrolysis is
permanent. It has recently been argued that barbers are also cosmetologists who extend
the hair stylist speciality with services especially for men, such as shaving.

Becoming a cosmetologist
To become a cosmetologist in the United States, a state license is required. Each state
mandates the amount of educational hours necessary before a practical exam may be
taken. Some states also allow apprenticeships in hair salons under the guidance of a
licensed cosmetology teacher, but this is quickly becoming obsolete. Safety guidelines
and the threat of lawsuits have changed the salon environment, and kept apprentices away
from the chair. These days it is beneficial for anyone interested in cosmetology to pursue
the minimum qualifications of hairdressing. Cosmetology licenses must be renewed
every four years. Licenses expire on December 31st of the expiration year. In the past,
continuing education hours were mandatory, but as of July 1st, 2006 there are no longer
mandatory hours.

There is a difference between a barber and a cosmetologist. Barbers mainly cut hair of
men and women, and shave the facial hair of men. The primary difference between the
skills of a barber and cosmetologist, is the way they cut hair. Barbers utilize scissors and
comb technique, along with electric clippers to cut hair. Cosmetologists use these tools
also, but the primary difference is use of fingers on one hand to hold and stabilze the
hair.Barbers are also allowed to use a straight razor to shave their clients, whereas a
cosmetologist can only use a razor if it used for cutting hair.
A cosmetologist is concerned with a wide range of services not limited to hair. These
include makeup, skincare, and nails. Today, the traditional barber is being replaced by
well educated beauty professionals in some areas. Schooling is rigorous, and salons will
typically retrain a hair stylist in their own method or program. Today the median income
for a hairdresser is $26,000 and is much higher in some areas.

A difference also exists between beauty therapy and cosmetology. Beauty therapy
involves itself with beautician or aestheticienne work (treatment of skin and nails,
including manicures, pedicures, facials, waxing, facial electrical treatments, eyelash
tinting, eyebrow tinting and other such treatments), physiatrics or body therapy work
(Swedish massage, anatomy and physiology, body electrical treatments, body wraps,
body treatments, figure analysis and cellulite treatments), and electrologywork or
electrolysis. A cosmetologist instead deals with surface-only treatments. Beauty
therapists can be qualified internationally through international bodies like ITEC,
CIBTAC and CIDESCO.

Most cosmetologists are paid in one of the following three ways:

• Commission pay – A percentage of the money made from the provision of

services is given back to the cosmetologist as pay. Many paid this way are
considered self-employed, and are responsible for taxes. The salon will provide
overhead expenses such as products, lights, water, etc.
• Booth rental – The cosmetologist "rents" a space in the salon, for a monthly fee.
This type of pay is defined as self-employment and the cosmetologist is
responsible for all products used (perms, color etc.) as well as taxes. In many
states, this form of payment is illegal, owing to the difficulty of regulating the
individual cosmetologist both legally and business wise.
• An hourly wage – Many corporate and small chains are going in this direction
since it promotes a more controlled product by ensuring that employees are
responsible for following company standards and policies.

Tips are another source of income. Skilled cosmetologists can often make a considerable
portion of their income from tips from customers.

In most states, cosmetology sanitation practices and ethical practices are governed by the
state's health department, and a Board of Cosmetology. These entities ensure public
safety by regulating sanitation products and practices, and licensing requirements.
Consumer complaints are ususally directed to these offices, and investigated from there.
If someone were interested in studying cosmetology, they could take a general
cosmetology course and graduate, being able to test to become licensed for all of the
things listed above, or they could choose to study only to become a manicurist or
cosmetician. There are private schools, and many vocational schools offer Cosmetology
to high school students. In addition, there are national organizations that provide
educational and professional information.
 COSMETOLOGIST

beautifying the face, grooming hands and nails; and removing unwanted body hair
with tweezers, chemicals, or wax.

WORKING CONDITIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

Cosmetologists usually work independently in clean, well lighted, and well-

ventilated shops. Many shops are air-conditioned. Most salons are small, having
fewer than four employees. More than half of all salons are owner operated.
 Most Cosmetologists work a 5-day, 40-hour week that includes weekend and
evening work. More than one-third of all Cosmetologists work part- time, since
owners are eager to hire workers for the Thursday through Saturday busy period.
Overtime work may be necessary during this period and during holiday seasons as
well.

The salon owner may furnish most of the equipment used by Cosmetologists.
However, Cosmetologists may have to supply their own personal equipment such
as scissors, rollers, and brushes. Electrologists generally furnish their own
equipment, such as an electrolysis machine, a reclining chair, and a stool, at a cost
of between $1,000 to $2,000 or more.

In some salons, Cosmetologists are able to rent booths. They receive all of their
earnings but pay a booth rental fee to the shop owner.

Cosmetologists may belong to The United Food and Commercial Workers Union.
Members usually pay periodic dues.

You Should Prefer:

• Having business contact with people

• Doing creative work

• Seeing the physical results of your work

You Should Be Able To:

• Perform a variety of duties which may change often

• Feel at ease with strangers

• Adapt color and style to customer's features

• Make decisions based on personal judgment and hair and skin analyses

• Recognize differences in colors, shades, and forms

of red. In the past year, 50% of blonde hair coloring was used, 20% of red hair
 coloring was used, and 45% of brown hair coloring was used. How much of
blonde, red, and brown hair coloring would you predict that will be needed for
next year?

Reading Example You Should Be Able to Read and Comprehend:

Chemical names and ingredients as chemicals can cause skin irritation or other
health problems so it is important to be familiar with the chemicals to ensure the
safety of the client.

"Methylparaben, Carbomer-940, Propylene Glycol, Polyquaternium-11,

Ethanolamine, Panthenol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Ethoxydiglycol, Erythorbic
Acid"

Writing Example You Should Be Able to Produce:

Prepare a written order for hair coloring supplies.

Thinking Skill You Should Be Able to Demonstrate:

When working with clients and applying chemicals to their hair, it is necessary
that you make accurate decisions about amounts to be used and how long the
chemicals should stay on the client's hair to ensure the safety of the client.

practical exam.

To become a limited Cosmetology Instructor, the student must take an additional

course of study (500 hours) and be a high school graduate. Applicants for a full
Instructor's license need either three years of shop experience or one year of
experience and two years of teaching. Applicants for Instructor's licenses must
also pass written, practical, and oral exams.

Fees for both Cosmetologists and Instructors are $10 for application processing,
$25 for the complete examination, and $24 for the 2-year license. Licenses must
be renewed every two years. Licensed Cosmetologists must have one year of
experience before managing a salon.

EARNINGS AND ADVANCEMENT

Earnings depend on the size and location of the salon, competition from other
salons, quality and speed of a Cosmetologist's work, tipping habits of patrons, and
ability to keep regular customers. Cosmetologists are paid either straight
commission, base salary plus commission, or straight salary. Most receive tips
that increase their total earnings greatly.

Nationally (1998), the weekly median income for all Cosmetologists was $313.
Beauty shop employees however, worked only an average of 28 hours per week in
1998.

Since most Cosmetologists are paid on a commission basis, their earnings may
fall anywhere within a range, depending on the number of appointments
scheduled in a given week. Experienced, well-established Cosmetologists may
earn over $750 during a busy week (1998).

Cosmetologists employed by the State of Michigan earned from $506 to $656 per
week in 1999.

The 1997 graduates of Michigan high school vocational education programs

earned a beginning average of $7.47 per hour in jobs related to this occupation in
1998.

In many large salons, hotels, and department stores, Cosmetologists receive health
and life insurance and other benefits.

Wrapt in the gathering night he stole unseen
Beside me. After whispering all those vows
Of love which lovers use, and I pass by,
He press’d me to be his. Touch’d by the hour,
The mask of scorn fell from my heart, and Love
Reveal’d himself, and from that very time
Grew unconceal’d between us—yet, Porcia,
Upon mine honour, (for I tell thee all,)
Always in honour bounded. At that time
In an ill hour my father plann’d a marriage
Between me and Don Juan—yours, you know,
Came here to Naples, whence he sent your brother,
I know not on what business, into Spain;
And we agreed, I mean Alvaro and I,
Rather than vex two fathers at one time
By any declaration of our vows,
’Twere best to keep them secret—at the least,
Till his return from Spain. Ah, Porcia,
When yet did love not thrive by secrecy?
We parted—he relying on my promise,
I on his quick return. Oh, mad are those
Who, knowing that a storm is up, will yet
Put out to sea, Alvaro went—my father
Urged on this marriage with my cousin. Oh!—
Por. You are ill, Serafina!
Ser. Nothing—nothing—
I reason’d—wept—implored—excused—delay’d—
In vain—O mercy, Heaven!
Por. Tell me no more:
It is too much for you.
Ser. Then suddenly
We heard that he was dead—your brother—drown’d—
They married me—and now perhaps he lives
They say—Porcia, can it be?—I know not
Whether to hope or dread if that be true:—
And every wind that blows your father hope
Makes my blood cold; I know that I shall meet him
Makes my blood cold; I know that I shall meet him,
Here or upon the seas—dead or alive—
Methinks I see him now!—Help! help!
[Swoons.

Por. Serafina!—
She has fainted!—Julia! Flora!—

Enter Alvaro.

Alvaro. My Porcia!
Por. Alvaro! (They embrace.)
Alv. I have outrun the shower of compliment
On my escapes—which you shall hear anon—
To catch you to my heart.
Por. Oh joy and terror!
Look there!—
Alv. Serafina!
And sleeping too!
Por. Oh, swooning! see to her
Till I get help.

[Exit.
 Ser. (in her swoon). Mercy, mercy!
Alvaro, slay me not!—I am not guilty!—
Indeed I am not!—
Alv. She dreams—and dreams of me—but very strangely—
Serafina!—
Ser. (waking). Dead!—or return’d alive to curse and slay me!—
But I am innocent!—I could not help—
They told me you were dead—and are you not?—
And I must marry him—
Alv. Must marry?—whom?—
Why, you are dreaming still—
Awake!—’tis your Alvaro—

(Offers to embrace her.)

Ser. No, no, no—

I dare not—
Alv. Dare not!

Enter Porcia, Flora, Julia.

Por. Quick, quick!

Flora. My lady!
Julia. My lord alive again!
Alv. Porcia, come hither—I am not alive,
Till I have heard the truth—nay, if ’t be true
That she has hinted and my heart forebodes,
I shall be worse than dead—

[Retires with Porcia to back of Stage.

Enter Juan and Pedro.
 Juan. What is the matter?—
My Serafina!
Pedro. We have hurried back,
Told of your sudden seizure—What is it?
Ser. The very heart within me turn’d to ice.
Juan. But you are better now?—
Ser. Yes—better—pray,
Be not uneasy for me.
Alv. (to Porcia in the rear). This is true then!
Por. Nay, nay, be not so desperate, Alvaro,
Hearing but half the story—no fault of hers—
I’ll tell you all anon. Come, Serafina,
I’ll see you to your chamber.
Pedro. She will be better soon—
Juan. Lean upon me, my love—so—so.
Alv. Oh, fury!
Ser. Oh, would to heaven these steps should be my last,
Leading not to my chamber, but my grave!
Por. (to Alvaro). Wait here—compose yourself—I shall be back
Directly.

[Exeunt Porcia, Serafina, and Juan.

Alv. She is married—broke her troth—

And I escape from death and slavery
To find her—but the prince!—Oh weariness!

Enter the Prince Orsino, Celio, Don Luis, and Train.

 Prince. Each day, Don Luis, I become your debtor
For some new courtesy.
Luis. My lord, ’tis I
Who by such small instalments of my duty
Strive to pay back in part the many favours
You shower upon your servant. And this last,
Of bringing back Alvaro to my arms,
Not all my life, nor life itself, could pay.
Prince. Small thanks to me, Don Luis; but indeed
The strangest chance—two chances—two escapes—
First from the sinking ship upon a spar,
Then from the Algerine who pick’d him up,
Carried him captive off—
He first adroitly through their fingers slipping
That little harbinger of hope to you,
And then, at last, himself escaping back
To Barcelona, where you know I was—
If glad to welcome, house, and entertain
Any distrest Italian, how much more,
Both for his own sake and for yours, your son,
So making him, I trust, a friend for life.
Alv. Rather a humble follower, my lord.
Luis. I have no words to thank you—we shall hear
The whole tale from Alvaro by and by—
To make us merry—once so sad to him.
Meanwhile, Alvaro, thou hast seen thy sister?
Alv. Yes, sir—
Luis. Oh what a joy ’tis to see thee!
Prince. A day of general joy.
Alv. (aside). Indeed!—
Prince. Especially
To her, Alvaro—
Alv. Sir?
 Prince. I mean your sister.
Alv. Yes, my lord—no—I am not sure, my lord—
A friend of hers is suddenly so ill,
My sister is uneasy—
Luis. Serafina!
Indeed!—I know your Highness will forgive
My seeing to her straight.
[Exit.

Alv. And I, my lord,

Would fain see some old faces once again
As soon as may be.
Prince. Nay, no more excuse—
Follow your pleasure.
Alv. (aside). ’Tis no friend I seek,
But my one deadliest enemy—myself.

[Exit.
 Prince. Celio, I think we have well nigh exhausted
The world of compliment, and wasted it:
For I begin to doubt that word and deed
Are wasted all in vain.
Celio. How so, my lord?
Prince. Why, if I never am to see Porcia,
Whom I have come so far and fast to see—
Cel. Never, my lord! her father’s guest is ill,
And she for a few minutes—
Prince. Minutes, Celio!
Knowest thou not minutes are years to lovers?
Cel. I know that lovers are strange animals.
Prince. Ah, you have never loved.
Cel. No, good my lord,
I’m but a looker-on; or in the market
Just give and take the current coin of love—
Love her that loves me; and, if she forget,
Forget her too.
Prince. Ah, then I cannot wonder
You wonder so at my impatience;
For he that cannot love, can be no judge
Of him that does.
Cel. How so?
Prince. I’ll tell thee, Celio.
He who far off beholds another dancing,
Even one who dances best, and all the time
Hears not the music that he dances to,
Thinks him a madman, apprehending not
The law that rules his else eccentric action.
So he that’s in himself insensible
Of love’s sweet influence, misjudges him
Who moves according to love’s melody:
And knowing not that all these sighs and tears,
 g g ,
Ejaculations, and impatiences,
Are necessary changes of a measure,
Which the divine musician plays, may call
The lover crazy; which he would not do
Did he within his own heart hear the tune
Play’d by the great musician of the world.
Cel. Well, I might answer, that, far off or near,
Hearing or not the melody you tell of,
The man is mad who dances to it. But
Here is your music.
Enter Porcia.
 Porcia. I left my brother here but now.
Prince. But now,
Sweet Porcia, you see he is not here—
By that so seeming earnest search for him
Scarce recognising me, if you would hint
At any seeming slight of mine toward you,
I plead not guilty—
Por. You mistake, my lord—
Did I believe my recognition
Of any moment to your Excellency,
I might perhaps evince it in complaint,
But not in slight.
Prince. Complaint!—
Por. Yes, sir—complaint.
Prince. Complaint of what? I knowing, Porcia,
And you too knowing well, the constant love
That I have borne you since the happy day
When first we met in Naples—
Por. No, my lord—
You mean my love to you, not yours to me—
Unwearied through your long forgetful absence.
Prince. How easily, Porcia, would my love
Prove to you its unchanged integrity,
Were it not that our friends—
Por. Your friends indeed,
Who stop a lame apology at the outset.

Enter Serafina.
 Serafina. I cannot rest, Porcia, and am come
To seek it in your arms—but who is this?
Por. The Prince Orsino.
Ser. Pardon me, my lord—
I knew you not—coming so hurriedly,
And in much perturbation.
Prince. Nay, lady,
I owe you thanks for an embarrassment
Which hides my own.
Ser. Let it excuse beside
What other courtesies I owe your Highness,
But scarce have words to pay. Heaven guard your Highness—
Suffer me to retire.

[Exit.

Por. I needs must after her, my lord. But tell me,

When shall I hear your vindication?—
To-night?
Prince. Ay, my Porcia, if you will.
Por. Till night farewell, then.

[Exit.
 Prince. Farewell.—Celio,
Didst ever see so fair an apparition,
As her who came and went so suddenly?
Cel. Indeed, so sweetly manner’d when surprised,
She must be exquisite in her composure.
Prince. Who is she?
Cel. Nay, my lord, just come with you,
I know as little—
What! a new tune to dance to?—
Prince. In good time,
Here comes Alvaro.

Enter Alvaro.
 Alvaro. How restless is the sickness of the soul!
I scarce had got me from this fatal place,
And back again—
Prince. Alvaro!
Alv. My lord—
Prince. Who is the lady that was here anon?
Alv. Lady, my lord—what lady?—
Prince. She that went
A moment hence—I mean your sister’s guest.
Alv. (This drop was wanting!)
My lord, the daughter of a nobleman
Of very ancient blood—
Don Pedro Castellano.
Prince. And her name?
Alv. Serafina.
Prince. And a most seraphic lady!
Alv. You never saw her, sir, before?
Prince. No, surely.
Alv. (aside). Would I had never done so!
Prince. And in the hasty glimpse I had,
I guess her mistress of as fair a mind
As face.
Alv. Yes, sir—
Prince. She lives in Naples, eh?
Alv. No—on her way
To Spain, I think—
Prince. Indeed!—To Spain. Why that?
Alv. (How much more will he ask?)
My lord, her husband—
 Prince. She is married then?—
Alv. Torture!
Prince. And who so blest to call her his,
Alvaro?
Alv. Sir, Don Juan Roca, her cousin.
Prince. Roca? Don Juan Roca? Do I know him?
Alv. I think you must; he came, sir, with my father
To wait upon your Grace.
Prince. Don Juan Roca!
No; I do not remember him—should not
Know him again.
Enter Don Luis.
 Luis. My lord, if my old love
And service for your Highness may deserve
A favour at your hands—
Prince. They only wait
Until your tongue has named it.
Luis. This it is then—
The captain of the galleys, good my lord,
In which your Highness came,
Tells me that, having landed you, he lies
Under strict orders to return again
Within an hour.
Prince. ’Tis true.
Luis. Now, good my lord,
The ships, when they go back, must carry with them
Some friends who, long time look’d for, just are come,
And whom I fain—
Prince. Nay, utter not a wish
I know I must unwillingly deny.
Alvaro. Confusion on confusion!
Prince. I have pledg’d
My word to Don Garcia of Toledo,
The galleys should not pass an hour at Naples.
I feel for you,—and for myself, alas!
So sweet a freight they carry with them. But
I dare not—and what folly to adore
A Beauty lost to me before I found it!

[Exeunt Prince and Celio.

 Luis. And those I so had long’d for, to avenge
Their long estrangement by as long a welcome,
Snatcht from me almost ere we’d shaken hands!—
Is not this ill, Alvaro?
Alv. Ill indeed.
Luis. And, as they needs must go, my hospitality,
Foil’d in its spring, must turn to wound myself
By speeding their departure. (Going.)
Alv. Sir, a moment.
Although his Highness would not, or could not,
Grant you the boon your services deserved,
Let not that, I beseech you, indispose you
From granting one to me.
Luis. What is ’t, Alvaro?
’Twere strange could I refuse you anything.
Alv. You sent me, sir, on state affairs to Spain,
But being wreckt and captured, as you know,
All went undone.
Another opportunity now offers;
The ships are ready, let me go and do
That which perforce I left undone before.
Luis. What else could’st thou have askt,
In all the category of my means,
Which I, methinks, had grudged thee! No, Alvaro,
The treacherous sea must not again be trusted
With the dear promise of my only son.
Alv. Nay, for that very reason, I entreat you
To let me go, sir. Let it not be thought
The blood that I inherited of you
Quail’d at a common danger.
Luis. I admire
Your resolution, but you must not go,
At least not now.
Beside, the business you were sent upon
Beside, the business you were sent upon
Is done by other hands, or let go by
For ever.
Alv. Nay, sir—
Luis. Nay, Alvaro.
[Exit.

Alv. He is resolved. And Serafina,

To whose divinity I offer’d up
My heart of hearts, a purer sacrifice
Than ever yet on pagan altar blazed,
Has play’d me false, is married to another,
And now will fly away on winds and seas,
As fleeting as herself.
Then what remains but that I die? My death
The necessary shadow of that marriage!
Comfort!—what boots it looking after that
Which never can be found? The worst is come,
Which ’twere a blind and childish waste of hope
To front with any visage but despair.
Ev’n that one single solace, were there one,
Of ringing my despair into her ears,
Fails me. Time presses; the accursed breeze
Blows foully fair. The vessel flaps her sails
That is to bear her from me. Look, she comes—
And from before her dawning beauty all
I had to say fades from my swimming brain,
And chokes upon my tongue.

Enter Serafina, drest as at first, and Porcia.

 Porcia. And must we part so quickly?—
Serafina. When does happiness
Last longer?
Alv. Never!—who best can answer that?
I standing by, why ask it of another?
At least when speaking of such happiness
As, perjured woman, thy false presence brings!
Ser. Alvaro, for Heaven’s sake spare me the pang
Of these unjust reproaches.
Alv. What! unjust!
Ser. Why, is it not unjust, condemning one
Without defence?
Alv. Without defence indeed!
Ser. Not that I have not a most just defence,
But that you will not listen.
Alv. Serafina,
I listen’d; but what wholly satisfies
The criminal may ill suffice the judge;
And in love’s court especially, a word
Has quite a different meaning to the soul
Of speaker and of hearer. Yet once more,
Speak.
Ser. To what purpose? I can but repeat
What I have told your sister, and she you,—
What on the sudden waking from my swoon,
I, who had thought you dead so long, Alvaro,
Spoke in my terror, suddenly seeing you
Alive, before me.
Alv. I were better, then,
Dead than alive?
Ser. I know not—were you dead
I might in honour weep for you, Alvaro;
Living I must not
Living, I must not.
Alv. Nay then, whether you
Forswear me living or lament me dead,
Now you must hear me; if you strike the wound,
Is it not just that you should hear the cry?
Ser. I must not.
Alv. But I say you must.
Ser. Porcia,
Will you not help me when my life and honour
Are thus at stake?
Alv. Porcia’s duty lies
In keeping watch that no one interrupt us.
Porcia. Between the two confused, I yield at last
To him, both as my brother, Serafina,
And for his love to you. Compose yourself;
I shall be close at hand, no harm can happen.
And let him weep at least who has lost all.
[Exit.
 Ser. If I am forced to hear you then, Alvaro,
You shall hear me too, once more, once for all,
Freely confessing that I loved you once;
Ay, long and truly loved you. When all hope
Of being yours with your reported death
Had died, then, yielding to my father’s wish,
I wed another, and am—what I am.
So help me Heaven, Alvaro, this is all!
Alv. How can I answer if you weep?
Ser. No, no,
I do not weep, or, if I do, ’tis but
My eyes,—no more, no deeper.
Alv. Is ’t possible you can so readily
Turn warm compassion into cold disdain!
And are your better pulses so controll’d
By a cold heart, that, to enhance the triumph
Over the wretched victim of your eyes,
You make the fount of tears to stop or flow
Just as you please? If so, teach me the trick,
As the last courtesy you will vouchsafe me.
Ser. Alvaro, when I think of what I was,
My tears will forth; but when of what I am,
My honour bids them cease.
Alv. You do feel then—
Ser. Nay, I’ll deny it not.
Alv. That, being another’s—
Ser. Nay, no argument—
Alv. These tears—
Ser. What tears?
Alv. Are the relenting rain
On which the Iris of my hope may ride;
Or a sweet dew—
 Ser. Alvaro—
Alv. That foretells
That better day when in these arms again—
Ser. Those arms! Alvaro, when that day shall come
May heaven’s thunder strike me dead at once!
(Cannon within.)

Mercy, what’s that?

Enter Porcia.

Porcia. A signal from the ship,

’Tis time: your father and Don Juan now
Are coming for you.
Alv. O heavens!
Por. Compose yourself,
And you, Alvaro——(Motions him back.)

Enter Don Juan, Luis, Pedro, Leonelo, etc.

Luis. Lady, believe how sadly I am come

To do you this last office.
Juan. Trembling still?—
But come, perhaps the sea-breeze, in requital
Of bearing us away from those we love,
May yet revive you.
Luis. Well, if it must be so,
Lady, your hand. Porcia, come with us.

[Exeunt all but Alvaro.
