Well sir I pray you let's hear what Answer your wife will make. Sirrah, command your Mistress to come To me presently. I think my wife for all she did not come, Will prove most kind for now I have no fear, For I am sure Ferando's wife, she will not come. The more's the pity: than I must lose.

Now lovely Kate before there husbands here, I prithee tell unto these headstrong women, What duty wives do owe unto their husbands. Then you that live thus by your pampered wills, Now list to me and mark what I shall say, th'eternal power that with his only breath, Shall cause this end and this beginning frame, Not in time, nor before time, but with time, confused, For all the course of years, of ages, months, Of seasons temperate, of days and hours, Are tuned and stopped, by measure of his hand, The first world was, a form, without a form,
