Or Sir Reverence. prithee observe. Is she so virtuous then? 'Tis all the fault she has, she will outpray A Preacher at St Antlins; and divides The day in exercise; I did commend A great Precisian to her for her woman. Who tells me that her Lady makes her quilt Her smocks before for kneeling. Excellent Creature! Then, Sir, she is so modest. Too. The least Obscene word shames her, a lascivious Figure Makes her do penance; and she maintains the Law Which forbids fornication, doth extend To kissing too. I think the time an age Till the solemnity be passed. I have Prepared her, Sir, and have so set you out! Besides, I told her how you had cast of Your Nephew, and to leave no doubt that you Would ere be reconciled, before she went To Church would settle your estate on her, And on the Heirs of her begotten. To make all sure, we'll call upon my Lawyer by the way, And take him with us. you must be married, Sir, At the French Church, I have bespoke the Priest; One that will join you i'th' right Geneva form, Without a licence. But may a man Wed in a strange tongue? I have brought together Some in Italian, Sir, the Language doth Not change the substance of the Match; you know No licence will be granted, all the Offices Are beforehand bribed by your Nephew. Well, let's to the Lady straight, to cross him, I Would marry an Arabian, and be at charge To keep one to interpret, or be married In China Language, or the tongue that's spoke By the great Cham.

Oh Sir, she'll call this wit to wed his bags, and lie With some Platonic servant. What if we Before we go to Plotwell, went to her And strived to dissuade her? let's make haste, They'll be before us else. BY this hand Lady you shall not deny me: Since we are coupled, I shall think the Priest Has not done all, as long as I'm a Virgin. Will you not stay till night, Sir? Night? No faith, I've sworn to get my first child by day, you may Be quick by night. Madam, your Knight speaks reason. I will both speak and do it. Well Sir, since There is no remedy, your beds prepared; By that time you are laid I'll come, Mean time I'll pray that Gentleman to conduct you, There's My Footman to pluck of your stockings. Come Sir. Sweet Lady stay not long. I'll promise for her. Faith I admire your temperance to let Your Bridegroom go to bed and you not follow. Were I in your case I should ha' gone first, And warmed his place.
