Come sweet Aurelius my faithful friend, Now will we go to see those lovely dames Richer in beauty than the orient pearl, Whiter than is the Alpine Crystal mould, And far more lovely than the terrean plant, That blushing in the air turns to a stone. What Sander, what news with you? Marry sir my master sends you word That you must come to his wedding tomorrow. What, shall he be married then? Faith I, you think he stands as long about it as you do. Whither is thy master gone now? Marry he's gone to our house in the Country, To make all things in a readiness against my new Mistress comes thither, but he'll come again to morrow. This is suddenly dispatched belike, Well, sirrah boy, take Saunder in with you And have him to the buttery presently. I will sir: come Saunder. Valeria as erst we did devise, Take thou thy lute and go to Alfonso's house, And say that Polidor sent thee thither. I Valeria for he spoke to me, To help him to some cunning Musician, To teach his eldest daughter on the lute, And thou I know will fit his turn so well As thou shalt get great favour at his hands, begone Valeria and say I sent thee to him. I will sir and stay your coming at Alfonso's house. Now sweet Aurelius by this device Shall we have leisure for to court our loves, For whilst that she is learning on the lute, Her sisters may take time to steel abroad, For otherwise she'll keep them both within, And make them work whilst she herself doth play, But come let's go unto Alfonso's house, And see how Valeria and Kate agrees, I doubt his Music scarce will please his scholar, But stay here comes Alfonso. What M. Polidor you are well met, I thank you for the man you sent to me, A good Musician I think he is, I have set my daughter and him together, But is this gentleman a friend of yours? He is, I pray you sir bid him welcome, He's a wealthy merchants son of Cestus. Your welcome sir and if my house afford You any thing that may content your mind, I pray you sir make bold with me. I thank you sir, and if what I have got, By merchandise or travel on the seas, Satins or lawns or azure coloured silk, Or precious fiery pointed stones of Indie, You shall command both them myself and all. Thanks gentle sir, Polidor take him in, And bid him welcome to unto my house, For thou I think must be my second son, Ferando, Polidor dost thou not know Must marry Kate, and tomorrow is the day. Such news I heard, and I came now to know. Polidor 'tis true, go let me alone, For I must see against the bridegroom come, That all things be according to his mind, And so I'll leave you for an hour or two.

Come ſweet Aurelius my faithfull friend, Now will we go to ſee thoſe louelie dames Richer in beawtie then the orient pearle, Whiter then is the Alpine Chriſtall mould, And farre more louelie then the terean plant, That bluſhing in the aire turnes to a ſtone. What Sander, what newes with you? Marry ſir my maiſter ſends you word That you muſt come to his wedding to morrow. What, ſhall he be married then? Faith I, you thinke he ſtandes as long about it as you doo. Whither is thy maiſter gone now?

I will ſir and ſtay your comming at Alfonſos houſe. Now ſweete Aurelius by this deuiſe Shall we haue leiſure for to courte our loues, For whilſt that ſhe is learning on the lute, Hir ſiſters may take time to ſteele abrode, For otherwiſe ſhele keep them both within, And make them worke whilſt ſhe hir ſelfe doth play, But come lets go vnto Alfonſos houſe, And ſee how Valeria and Kate agreeſe, I doute his Muſick skarſe will pleaſe his skoller, But ſtay here comes Alfonſo. What M. Polidor you are well mett, I thanke you for the man you ſent to me, A good Muſition I thinke he is, I haue ſet my daughter and him togither, But is this gentellman a frend of youres?

Polidor tis true, goe let me alone, For I muſt ſee againſt the bridegroome come, That all thinges be according to his mind, And ſo Ile leaue you for an houre or two.
