She knew me not; No, nor no title that I had. 'twas well carried; No more, I am right and straight. I would believe thee, But heaven knows how my heart is, will ye follow me. I'll be there straight. I am fooled, yet dare not find it. Go silly fool, thou mayst be a good soldier In open field, but for our private service Thou art an ass, i'll make thee so or miss else. Here comes another Trout that I must tickle, And tickle daintily, I have lost my end else. May I crave your leave sir? Prithee be answered, thou shalt crave no leave, I am in my meditations, do not vex me, A beaten thing, but this hour a most bruised thing, That people had compassion on, it looked so. The next Sir Palmerin, here's fine proportion, An Ass, and then an Elephant, sweet justice, There's no way left to come at her now, no craving, If money could come near, yet I would pay him; I have a mind to make him a huge cuckold, And money may do much, a thousand ducats, 'tis but the letting blood of a rank heir. Pray ye hear me. I know thou hast some wedding ring to pawn now. Of Silver and guilt with a blind posy in't, Love and a mill-horse should go round together, Or thy child's whistle, or thy squirrels chain, I'll none of 'em, I would she did but know me, Or would this fellow had but use of money, That I might come in any way. I am gone sir, And I shall tell the beauty sent me to ye, The Lady Margarita. Stay I prithee, What is thy will, I turn me wholly to ye, And talk now till thy tongue ache, I will hear ye. She would entreat ye sir. She shall command sir, Let it be so I beseech thee my sweet gentlewoman, Do not forget thyself. She does command then, This courtesy, because she knows you are noble. Your Mistress by the way. My natural Mistress, Upon these jewels sir, they are fair and rich, And view 'em right. To doubt 'em is an heresy. A thousand ducats, 'tis upon necessity Of present use, her husband sir is stubborn. Long may he be so. She desires withal, a better knowledge of your parts and person, And when you please to do her so much honour. Comelet's dispatch. In troth I have heard her say sir, Of a fat man she has not seen a sweeter, But in this business sir. Let's do it first And then dispute, the Lady's use may long for't. All secrecy she would desire, she told me How wise you are. We are not wise to talk thus, Carry her the gold, i'll look her out a jewel, Shall sparkle like her eyes, and thee another, Come pre thee come, I long to serve thy lady, Long monstrously, now valour I shall meet ye, You that dare Dukes. Green goose you are now in sippets.
