It may be, But I must have stronger assurance of it Then passionate words. And not to trifle time, As we came unexpected to your house, We will prevent all means that may prepare her How to answer that, with which we come to charge her. And howsoever it may be received As a foul breach to hospitable rites, On thy allegiance, and boasted faith, Nay forfeit of thy head, we do confine thee Close prisoner to thy Chamber, till all doubts Are cleared that do concern us. I obey Sir, And wish your Grace had followed my hearse To my Sepulchre, my loyalty unsuspected, Rather than now? but I am silent Sir, And let that speak my duty. If this man Be false, disguised treachery ne'er put on A shape so near to truth. Within there. Sir. Bring Lidia forth. She comes Sir of herself To present her service to you. Ha. This personage Cannot invite affection. See you keep State. I warrant you. The manners of her mind Must be transcendent, if they can defend Her rougher outside; may we with your liking Salute you Lady? Let me wipe my mouth Sir With my cambric handkercher, and then have at you. Can this be possible? Yes sir, you will find her Such as I gave her to you. Will your Dukeship Sit down and eat some Sugar-plum? here's a Castle Of marchpane too, and this Quince Marmalade Was of my own making. All summed up together Did cost the setting on, and here is wine too As good as e'er was tapped. I'll be your taster, For I know the fashion, now you must do me right Sir, You shall nor will, nor choose. She's very simple. Simple, 'tis worse. Do you drink this often Lady? Still when I am thirsty, and eat when I am hungry. Such Junkets come not every day. Once more to you, With a heart and a half i'faith. Pray you pause a little, If I hold your Cards, I shall pull down the side, I am not good at the game. Then I'll drink for you. Nay, pray you stay. I'll find you out a pledge That shall supply my place, what think you of This complete Signior? You are a Juno, and in such state Must feast this Iupiter, what think you of him? I desire no better. And you will undertake this service for me? You are good at the sport. Who I? A piddler Sir. Nay, you shall sit enthroned, and eat, & drink As you were a Duke. If your Grace will have me, I'll eat and drink like an Emperor. Take your place then, We are amazed. This is gross. Nor can the imposture But be discovered. The Duke is too sharp sighted To be deluded thus. Nay, pray you eat fair, Or divide, and I will choose. Cannot you use Your fork as I do? Gape and I will feed you. Gape wider yet, this is Courtlike. To choke Daws with, I like it not. But you like this. Let it come Boy.
