I may not go in without your worship: they will not fit till you come. I pray you Sir walk in. I think there are, Sir, I herd them talked of. I indeed Sir. Not I Sir, pray you keep on. I pray you Sir. May be he tells you true. No, heaven so speed me in my time to come, Albeit I will confess, thy Father's wealth Was the first motive that I wooed thee (Anne:) Yet wooing thee, I found thee of more value Then stamps in Gold, or sums in sealed bags: And it's the very riches of thy self, That now I aim at. Gentle M. Fenton, Yet seek my Father's love, still seek it sir, If opportunity and humblest suit Cannot attain it, why then hark you hither. I come to him.

Slender ) what would you with me? Pardon good father, good my mother pardon
