Yet lest I should mistake you, though I am by all Truth confident this is the house: pray resolve me; Has the Lady Yellow a chamber here? Yes sir, she lies in the yellow chamber, and has done this two months. I did believe it. Nay you may believe me if you will: I know neither Lady Yellow, nor yellow chamber, I have not been here above half an hour. Sure sent this fellow hither, he's so unmannerly, silence Urinal, what if that Lady have a chamber here sir? Now he comes to the purpose. Nay speak directly suppositions: include a doubtful sense, if she have not, I shall repent the error of my language and crave your mercy. Impudence I think, beyond my own rests in this youth, I must find out his meaning; 'tis perchance some one Sent from her jealous husband, whom she told me, In discontent was traveled prithee wife go in, and tell the Lady Yellow, here is one wishes the knowledge of her. Hang him young whistling, he know a Lady, pity of his life first. Do as I bid you: Urinal attend your mistress in. Yes, I will attend her in and in too, to do her any service. Sir, the uncivil language you have given me, Might justly stir a passionate man to rage; But it no more stirs me then the light wind, If you've relation to the Lady Yellow: She's one whose virtues merit that respect, 'twould be a stain to manners not to use the meanest of her Friends with due regard: pray sir what is she to you? As any woman else is for my money, only I must confess, I have an itch, a tickling thought to her before the rest of common prostitutes: I know she'll lodge in none but vicious houses, which enforces methink yours is so. 'tis a misconceit, I me sorry for her sake (whom I esteem So chaste, the pure untainted Doves may envy Her unstained whiteness) should be cast upon My innocent house, expect I'll send her to you, she'll shape you a Just answer, would she were as they suspect her. This Doctor is dishonest, speaks untruth, My jealousy is just, that any man Should so undo his reason; in belief Of women's goodness, as on their loose souls, To venture his creation; nay transform His essence by them: for a cuckold is Nature's huge prodigy, the very abstract Of all, that is wonderful: contempt and shame, are accidents as Proper to his brow, as baire and whiteness. Is this she sir? I nephew that's the monster. If Afrique did produce no other monsters, there would Be more cuckold in it then lions, but to my business, Madam the old tradition of this house invites your Knowledge to conceive for what I sent to speak with you. As yet indeed it does not. Truly it does, I hope I shall obtain The virgin glories of this day's encounter, Come shall's kiss, and then retire into your chamber.
