Tush fear not Valeria, let me alone, But stay, here comes some other company. Here comes them an that I did tell you of. Good morrow gentleman to all at once. How now Polidor, what man still in love? Ever wooing and canst thou never speed? God send me better luck when I shall woe. I warrant you master and you take my council. Why sirrah, are you so cunning? Who I 'ttwere better for you by siue make And you could tell how to do it as well os I I would thy master once were in the vain, To try himself how he could woe a wench. Faith I am even now a going. I faith sir, my master's going to this gear now Whither in faith Ferando? tel me true. To bonny Kate, the patientest wench alive, The Devil himself dares scarce venture to woe her, Signior Alfonso's eldest daughter, And he hath promised me six thousand crowns If I can win her once to be my wife, And she and I must woe with scolding sure, And I will hold her to't till she be weary, Or else i'll make her yield to grant me love. How like you this Aurelius, I think he knew Our minds before we sent to him, But tell me, when do ye mean to speak with her? Faith presently, do you but stand aside, And I will make her father bring her hither: And she, and I, and he, will talk alone. With all my heart, come Aurelius, Let us be gone and leave him here alone. Ho Signior Alfonso, who's within there? Signior Ferando you're welcome heartily, You are a stranger sir unto my house, Hark you sir, look what I did promise you I'll perform, if you get my daughter's love. Then when I have talk a word or two with her, Do you step in and give her hand to me, And tell her when the marriage day shall be, For I do know she would be married feign, And When our nuptial rites be once performed Let me alone to tame her well enough, Now ●●ll her forth that I may speak with her. Ha Kate, Come hither wench and list to me, Use this gentleman friendly as thou canst. Twenty good morrows to my lovely Kate. You jest I am sure, is she yours already? I tell thee Kate I know thou lov'st me well. The Devil you do, who told you so? My mind sweet Kate doth say I am the man, Must wed, and bed, and marry bonny Kate. Was ever seen so gross an ass as this. I, to stand so long and never get a kiss. Hands off I say, and get you from this place; Or I will set my ten commandments in your face.
