Full speech
What good bargain crack is towards me? Is that a good bargain wag? well, I have such and other a-bruing for your Master to be bound with me. but where is he? I am glad to hear of your good furniture towards, and I come to prostrate my seal and service at you worthy feet. Why 'tis a woman. Dost not see what it is? No 'tis but the hair of a dog in fashion, pulled from these Island dogs. That's the powder of a rotten post. Dost thou think it so strange? upon my credit I know some are spoken to for providing such powder by Ladies. I am in earn to. I assure you 'tis very common. Be she what she will in conditions, I warrant thee 'tis a woman in sex, or never trust my judgement again. 'Tis a band yellow starched how canst thou think it to be a tanzie? No. it pity to devour her me thinks 'tis a we ry pretty creature. Not that I know, except she be honest. I warrant thee she is a woman. why shouldst thou fear it? Mistrust not that. thou mayest know by her speech and voice whither she be a woman or no. Yes Like enough, but not in this case, And if the worst fallen you may easily know the first night you I e to gether. Why too late? thou mayest be rid of her presently, and be parted the next day. No question but the marriage is void. If you had, yet must you use discretion in it, and de vide none but such as are indeed no marriages at first, but had impediments not dispensable. Otherwise you might be cause of great sin, and inconvenien . You must examine the reasons, and proceed judicially, before you sever them rashly. A way coxcomb. I am ashamed on thee: come back, what dost thou mean? Afraid of a dead dog? what a cowardly thing is that? Be ruled by me; I'll stand between thee and all dan gers. go orderly to her, take her by the right hand as if thou wouldst dance with he. He danceth towards her and sings. What a fellow art thou? a Courtier? a Cowdriuer, come hither once again. Dost thou think to speed & go about It so Like a Clown Thou must woo her, as you court your ladies in the palace. Thou art deceived in that: for they are as fine and urious as any Lady in Court, though they be not proud a whit. Now, let us go seal these bonds in the mean space, and by that time perhaps she will come again. Oh my good friend Insatiato recall thy self Like a wise man. thou speakest Like a man distracted. go with me, and take a little rest. It will not be lo g before she come to this place again. We will send your Page to find her. But you will trouble and hinder other actors that have parts here to play as well as you. Nay, if you stay, I will not go. I will not leave my friend so. I dare vandertake (Lady Levitia ) he means justly by you: for I have seen him in a dangerous passion when you left our company, which if you had herd, standing in some secret place, you could not but have compassion on him. or else you were very worser sdain ull and cruel. Beside I know it is a great matter that would stay him so long as he hath talked with you from dispatching a business of great importance, as you may partly perceive by the messenger coming so often in the mean time to have him away. This is Superstich my shoes, now he hath fooled a foppery. And you have found a foolery. But I do if no body overthrow it. That's vill luck indeed if I have no dogs to course her. How likest thou this sport Insatiato? hath it diver ed thy thoughts a little?
