Full speech

What say you, sir? Sir, there's a gentleman, below, would speak with you. My husband told him you were, sir. He would desire you to come up, sir. You come into a cleanly house, here. How now, what cuckold is that knocks so hard? Oh, husband, is't you? what's the news? Away, you fool, did I know it was you, that knocked? Come, come, you may call me as bade, when you list. You lie in your throat, husband. Why, you are no soldier, I hope? I warrant you, there shall no body enter here, without my consent. It's more, then you know, whither you leave me so. Why, sweet. I am within, sir, what's your pleasure? Why, sir, you are no constable, I hope? OF gods name, sir. Young KNO-WELL? I know none such, sir, of mine honesty! The constable? the man is mad, I think. Why, what's the matter with you? What mean these questions, pray ye? I hope, he needs not to betrayed, here. Neither for needs, nor pleasure, is he here. Nay, I will go. I'll see, and you may be allowed to make a bundle of hemp, of your right and lawful wife thus, at every cuckoldly knaves pleasure. Why do you not go? Yes, most pitifully, and it please you. And, I you, as my loving, and obedient husband.
