My loss is irrecoverable. Call not Thy wickedness thy loss; without my knowledge Thou sold'st me, and in open court protestdest A precontract unto another, falsely To justify a separation, wherein Could I offend to be believed thy Strumpet, In best sense an Adulteress? so conceived In all opinions, that I am shook off, Even from mine own blood, which although I boast Not Noble, yet 'twas not mean, for Romanello Mine only brother, shuns me, and abhors To own me for his sister. 'Tis confessed, I am the shame of mankind. I live happy In this great Lords love, now, but could his cunning Have trained me to dishonour, we had never Been sundered byth' temptation of his purchase. Introth Fabritio, I am little proud of My unsought honours, and so far from triumph, That I am not more fool, to such as honour me, Then to myself, who hate this antique carriage! You are an Angel rather to be worshipped, Then grossly to be talked with. Keep those Ducats; I shall provide you better: 'twere a bravery, Could you forget the place wherein y'ave rendered Your name for ever hateful. I will do't, Do't excellentest goodness, and conclude My days in silent goodness. You may prosper In Spain, in France, or elsewhere, as in Italie. Besides, you are a scholar bred, however You interrupted study with commerce, I'll think of your supplies, mean time, pray, storm not At my behaviour t'ee, I have forgot acquaintance With mine own— keep your first distance— What, Our lady's cast familiar.

Dearest, Thou art my health, my blessing— turn the bankrupt out of my doors— sirrah, I'll have thee whipped. If thou com'st here again. Hence, hence you vermin. How is't my best of joys? Prettily mended. Now we have our own Lord here: I shall never Endure to spare you long out of my sight. See what the thing presented. A petition, Belike for some new charity.
