Trust me, I must commend your liberal mind, And loving care you bear unto your son, And here I give him freely my consent. As for my daughter, I think he knows her mind, And I will enlarge her dowry for your sake, And solemnize with joy your nuptial rites. But is this gentleman of Cestus too? He is the Duke of Cestus thrice renowned son, Who for the love his honour bears to me, Hath thus accompanied me to this place. You were too blame you told me not before, Pardon me my Lord, for if I had known Your honour had been here in place with me, I would have done my duty to your honour. Thanks good Alfonso. but I did come to see When these marriage rites should be performed. And if in these nuptials you vouchsafe, To honour thus the prince of Cestus' friend, In celebration of his spousal rites, He shall remain a lasting friend to you, What says Aurelius father? I humbly thank your honour, good my Lord, And ere we part, before your honour here, Shall articles of such content be drawn, As twixt our houses and posterities, Eternally this league of peace shall last Inviolate and pure on either part. With all my heart, and if your honour please To walk along with us unto my house, We will confirm these leagues of lasting love. Come then Aurelius I will go with you. Master, the Haberdasher has brought my Mistress home her cap here. Come hither sirrah: what have you there? A velvet cap sir, and it please you. Who spoke for it? didst thou Kate? What if I did? come hither sirrah, give me The cap, i'll see if it will fit me. O monstrous: why it becomes thee not, Let me see it Kate: here sirrah take it hence, This cap is out of fashion quite. The fashion is good enough: belike you Mean to make a fool of me. Why true, he means to make a fool of thee, To have thee put on such a curtailed cap: Sirrah, be gone with it. Here is the Tailor too with my mistress gown. Let me see it Tailor: what, with cuts and jags? Sounes thou villain, thou hast spoiled the gown. Why sir, I made it as your man gave me direction, You may read the note here Come hither sirrah: Taylor read the note. Item a fair round compassed cape. I that's true. And a large trunk sleeve. That's a lie master, I said two trunk sleeves. Well sir, go forward. Item a lose bodied gown, Master if ever I said lose bodies gown, Sew me in a seam, and beat me to death With a bottom of brown thread. I made it as the note bade me. I say the note lies in his throat and thou too, And thou sayst it. Nay, nay, ne'er be so hot sirrah, for I fear you not.
