Nay then Ferando he must needs sit out, For he may call I think till he be weary, Before his wife will come before she list. 'tis well for you that have such gentle wives, Yet in this trial will I not sit out, It may be Kate will come as soon as I do send. My wife comes soon for a hundred pound. I take it. I'll lay as much to yours, That my wife comes as soon as I do send. How now Ferando, you dare not lay belike. Why true, I dare not lay indeed: But how, so little money on so sure a thing, A hundred pound: why I have laid as much Upon my Dog, in running at a Deer, She shall not come so far for such a trifle, But will you lay five hundred marks with me, And whose wife soon comes when he doth call, And shows herself most loving unto him, Let him enjoy the wager I have laid, Now what say you? dare you adventure thus? I, were it a thousand pounds I durst presume On my wives love: and I will lay with thee. How now sons, what in conference so hard, May I without offence, know where about? Faith father a weighty cause, about our wives, Five hundred marks already we have laid, And he whose wife doth show most love to him, He must enjoy the wager to himself. Why then Ferando he is sure to lose it, I promise thee son, thy wife will hardly come, And therefore I would not wish thee lay so much. Tush father, were it ten times more I durst adventure on my lovely Kate, But if I lose i'll pay, and so shall you. Upon mine honour, if I lose I'll pay. And so will I upon my faith I vow. Then sit we down and let us send for them: I promise thee Ferando I am afraid thou wilt lose. I'll send for my wife first, Valeria, Go bid your mistress come to me. I will my Lord. Now for my hundred pound, Would any lay ten hundred more with me I know I should obtain it by her love. I pray God you have not laid too much already. Trust me Ferando I am sure you have, For you I dare presume have lost it al. Now sir ha, what says your mistress? She is something busy but she'll come anon. Why so, did not I tell you this before, She was busy and cannot come. I pray God your wife send you so good an answer She may be busy, yet she says she'll come. Well, well: Polidor, send you for your wife. Agreed, Boy desire your mistress to come hither. I will sir. I, so, so, he desires her to come. Polidor, I dare presume for thee, I think thy wife will not deny to come, And I do marvel much Aurelius, That your wife came not when you sent for her.

Nay then Ferando he muſt needes ſit out, For he may cal I thinke til he be weary, Before his wife wil come before ſhe liſt. Tis wel for you that haue ſuch gentle wiues, Yet in this trial wil I not ſit out, It may be Kate wil come as ſoone as I do ſend. My wife comes ſooneſt for a hundred pound. I take it. Ile lay as much to yours, That my wife comes as ſoone as I do ſend. How now Ferando, you dare not lay belike. Why true, I dare not lay indeed: But how, ſo little mony on ſo ſure a thing, A hundred pound: why I haue laid as much Vpon my Dog, in running at a Deere, She ſhal not come ſo far for ſuch a trifle, But wil you lay fiue hundred markes with me, And whoſe wife ſooneſt comes when he doth cal, And ſhewes her ſelfe moſt louing vnto him, Let him inioy the wager I haue laid, Now what ſay you? dare you aduenture thus? I, were it a thouſand pounds I durſt preſume On my wiues loue: and I wil lay with thee. How now ſons, what in conference ſo hard, May I without offence, know where about? Faith father a waighty cauſe, about our wiues, Fiue hundred markes already we haue laid, And he whoſe wife doth ſhew moſt loue to him, He muſt inioy the wager to himſelfe. Why then Ferando he is ſure to loſe it, I promiſe thee ſon, thy wife wil hardly come, And therefore I would not wiſh thee lay ſo much. Tuſh father, were it ten times more I durſt aduenture on my louely Kate, But if I loſe ile pay, and ſo ſhal you. Vpon mine honor, if I loſe Ile pay. And ſo wil I vpon my faith I vow. Then ſit we downe and let vs ſend for them: I promiſe thee Ferando I am afraid thou wilt loſe. Ile ſend for my wife firſt, Valeria, Go bid your miſtris come to me. I wil my Lord. Now for my hundred pound, Would any lay ten hundred more with me I know I ſhould obtaine it by her loue. I pray God you haue not laid too much already. Truſt me Ferando I am ſure you haue, For you I dare preſume haue loſt it al. Now ſir ha, what ſaies your miſtris? She is ſomthing buſie but ſheele come anone. Why ſo, did not I tel you this before, She was buſie and cannot come. I pray God your wife ſend you ſo good an anſwere She may be buſie, yet ſhe ſaies ſheele come. Wel, wel: Polidor, ſend you for your wife. Agreed, Boy deſire your miſtris to come hither. I wil ſir. I, ſo, ſo, he deſires hir to come. Polidor, I dare preſume for thee, I thinke thy wife wil not denie to come, And I do maruel much Aurelius, That your wife came not when you ſent for her.
