And so to me whilst Polidor doth live. I find it so right worthy gentlemen, And of what worth your friendship I esteem, I leave censure of your several thoughts, But for requital of your favours past, Rests yet behind, which when occasion serves I vow shallbe remembered to the full, And for my father's coming to this place, I do expect within this week at most. Enough Aurelius? but we forget Our Marriage dinner now the bride is gone, Come let us see what there they left behind. Come sirs provide all things as fast as you can, For my Masters hard at hand and my new Mistress And all, and he sent me before to see all things ready. Welcome home Sander sirrah how looks our New Mistress they say she's a plaguy shrew. I and that thou shalt find I can tell thee and thou Dost not please her well, why my Master Has such a do with her as it passeth and he's even like a madman. Why Sander what does he say. Why I'll tell you what: when they should Go to church to be married he puts on an old jerkin and a pair of canvas breeches down to the Small of his leg and a red cap on his head and he Looks as thou wilt burst thyself with laughing When thou seest him: he's e'en as good as a Fool for me: and then when they should go to dinner He made me Saddle the horse and away he came. And near tarried for dinner and therefore you had best Get supper ready against they come, for They be hard at hand I am sure by this time. Sounes see where they be all ready. Now welcome Kate: where is these villains Here, what? not supper yet upon the board: Nor table spread nor nothing done at all, Where's that villain that I sent before. Now, adsum, sir.

Sounes? burned and scorched who dressed this meat? Forsooth Iohn cook. He throws down the table and meat and all, and beats them. Go you villains bring you me such meat, Out of my sight I say and bear it hence, Come Kate we'll have other meat provided, Is there a fire in my chamber sir? I forsooth. Sounes? I think of my conscience my Masters Mad since he was married. I laft what a box he gave Sander For pulling of his boots. I hurt his foot for the nonce man.
