Humh how's that? how's that? is he there with a Wanion? Then do I begin to dwindle,— O oh, the fit, the fit; the fits upon me now, now now now. It shall out. First then know all Christian people Iewes and Infidels, he's and she's, by these presents, that I am a beast; see what I say, I say a very beast. 'Tis granted. Go to then, a horned beast: a goodly tall horned beast in pure verity a Cuckold: nay I will tickle their Trangdidoes. Ah thou base fellow! wouldst thou confess it and it were so: but 'tis not so, and thou liest and loudly. Patience Morosa, you are you say a Cuckold. He justify my words; I scorn to eat 'em: this sucking Ferret hath been wriggling in my old Coney borough. The Boy, the Babe, the Infant; I spit at thee. Fie Secco fie. Appear Spadone, my proofs are pregnant and gross: truth is the truth; I must and I will be divorced. speak Spadone and exalt thy voice. Who I speak, alas I cannot speak I. As I hope to live to be a man. damn the prick of thy weasand Pipe: where but two lie in a bed you must be Bodkin bitch-baby must ye. Spadone, am I a Cuckold or no Cuckold? Why? you know I an ignorant unable trifle in such business; an Oaf, a simple Alcatote; an Innocent. Nay nay nay, no matter for that; this Ramkin hath tupped my old rotten carrion Mutton. Rotten in thy maw, thy guts and garbage. Spadone speak aloud what I am. I do not know. What hast thou seen 'em doing together? doing. Nothing. Are thy mad brains in thy mazzard now, thou jealous Bedlam? Didst not thou from time to time tell me as much? Never. Heyday, Ladies and Signior I am abused, they are agreed to scorn jeer and run me out of my wits; by consent this gelded hobbadehoy is a corrupted Pander: the page a milk livered Dildo; my Wife a Whore confessed; and I myself a Cuckold arrant. Truly Secco for the ancient good Woman; I dare swear pointblank; and the Boy surely, I ever said was to any man's thinking, a very chrisom in the thing you wot, that's my opinion clearly. What a wise goose-cap hast thou showed thyself? Here in my forehead it sticks, and stick it shall. law I will have; I will never more tumble in sheets with thee; I will father no misbegotten of thine; the Court shall trounce thee, the City cashier thee, diseases devour thee, and the Spittle confound thee. The man has dreamed himself into a lunacy. Alas poor Nitido. Truly I am innocent.
