Fie man, I know you will not die for love, Ah Polider, thou needest not to complain, Eternal heaven sooner be dissolved, And all that pierceth Phoebus' silver eye, Before such hap befall to Polidor. Thanks fair Emelia for these sweet words: But what saith Philena to her friend? Why I am buying merchandise of him. Mistress, you shall not need to buy of me: For when I crossed the bubbling Canibey, And sailed along the crystal Hellispont, I filled my coffers of the wealthy mines, Where I did cause millions of labouring Moors To undermine the caverns of the earth, To seek for strange and new found precious stones, And dive into the Sea to gather pearl, As fair as Iuno offered Priam's son, And you shall take your liberal choice of all. I thank you sir, and would Philena might In any courtesy requite you so, As she with willing heart could well bestow. How now daughters, is Ferando come? Not yet father, I wonder he stays so long. And where's your sister that she is not here? She is making of her ready, father, To go to church, and if that he were come. I warrant you he'll not be long away. Go daughters, get you in, and bid your Sister provide herself against that we do come, And see you go to church along with us. I marvel that Ferando comes not away. His Tailor, it may be, hath been too slack In his apparel which he means to wear: For no question but some fantastic suits He is determined to wear to day, And richly powdered with precious stones, Spotted with liquid gold, thick set with pearl, And such he means shall be his wedding suits. I cared not I, what cost he did bestow, In gold, or silk, so he himself were here, For I had rather lose a thousand crowns, Than that he should deceive us here to day: But soft, I think I see him come. Good morrow father: Polidor well met, You wonder, I know, that I have staid so long. Yea mary son, we were almost persuaded, That we should scarce have had our Bridegroom here: But say, why art thou thus basely attired? Thus richly father you should have said, For when my wife and I are married once, she's such a shrew, if we should once fall out, she'll pull my costly suits over mine ears, And therefore am I thus attired a while: For many things I tell you's in my head, And none must know thereof, but Kate and I: For we shall live like Lambs and Lions sure, Nor Lambs to Lions never were so tame, If once they be within the Lion's paws, As Kate to me, if we were married once, And therefore, come, le●● to church presently.

Fie man, I know you will not die for loue, Ah Polider, thou need'ſt not to complaine, Eternall heauen ſooner be diſſolu'd, And all that pierceth Phoebus ſiluer eie, Before ſuch hap befall to Polidor. Thankes faire Emelia for theſe ſweet words: But what ſaith Philena to her friend? Why I am buying marchandiſe of him. Miſtris, you ſhall not neede to buy of me: For when I croſs'd the bubbling Canibey, And ſailde along the criſtall Helliſpont, I fill'd my coffers of the wealthy mines, Where I did cauſe millions of labouring Moores To vndermine the cauerns of the earth, To ſeeke for ſtrange and new found pretious ſtones, And diue into the Sea to gather pearle, As faire as Iuno offred Priams ſonne, And you ſhall take your liberall choice of all. I thanke you ſir, and would Philena might In any curteſie requite you ſo, As ſhe with willing heart could well beſtow. How now daughters, is Ferando come? Not yet father, I wonder he ſtaies ſo long. And where's your ſiſter that ſhe is not here? She is making of her ready, father, To goe to church, and if that he were come. I warrant you hee'l not be long away. Go daughters, get you in, and bid your Siſter prouide her ſelfe againſt that we do come, And ſee you goe to church along with vs. I maruell that Ferando comes not away. His Tailor, it may be, hath bin too ſlacke In his apparrell which he meanes to weare: For no queſtion but ſome fantaſtike ſutes He is determined to weare to day, And richly powdered with pretious ſtones, Spotted with liquide golde, thicke ſet with pearle, And ſuch he meanes ſhall be his wedding ſutes. I car'd not I, what coſt he did beſtow, In golde, or ſilke, ſo he himſelfe were here, For I had rather loſe a thouſand crownes, Than that he ſhould deceiue vs heere to day: But ſoft, I thinke I ſee him come. Good morrow father: Polidor well met, You wonder, I know, that I haue ſtaide ſo long. Yea mary ſonne, we were almoſt perſwaded, That we ſhould ſcarce haue had our Bridegroome heere: But ſay, why art thou thus baſely attired? Thus richly father you ſhould haue ſaide, For when my wife and I are married once, Shee's ſuch a ſhrew, if we ſhould once fall out, Sheele pull my coſtly ſutes ouer mine eares, And therefore am I thus attir'd a while: For many things I tell you's in my head, And none muſt know thereof, but Kate and I: For we ſhall liue like Lambes and Lions ſure, Nor Lambs to Lions neuer were ſo tame, If once they be within the Lions pawes, As Kate to me, if we were married once, And therefore, come, le to church preſently.
