The baggage begins to blush. Now begins the game. I believe it will be no game for us. Are you married young master? I cannot deny it, it was done so lately. But thou shalt repent, it was done so soon. Then 'tis bootless to ask you Livia. ay, and needless to be angry. It shall pass anger, thou shalt find it rage. You gave your consent. Impudent giglot, was it not enough to abuse me but also to bely me? You sir agreed to this match. Thou brazen face boy, thinkest thou by learning to persuade me to that which thou speakest. Where did I consent, when, what witness? In this place yesterday before Dromio & Risio. I remember we heard a contract between Memphio's son and Stellio's daughter, and that our good wills being asked which needed not, we gave them, which booted not. 'twas but the apparel of Accius and Silena, we were the persons. O villainy not to be borne, Wast thou privy to this practice? In a manner. I'll pay thee after a manner. And you oatmeal groat, you were acquainted with this plot. Accessary as it were. Thou shalt be punished as principal: here comes Memphio and Stellio, they belike were privy, and all their heads were laid together to grieve our hearts. Come Stellio, the assurance may be made tomorrow, and our children assured today. Let the conveyance run as we agreed. You convey cleanly in deed, if cozenage be clean dealing, for in the apparel of your children you have conveyed a match between ours, which grieves us not a little. Nay in the apparel of your children you have discovered the folly of ours, which shames us overmuch But 'tis no matter, though they be fools they are no beggars. And though ours be disobedient, they be no fools. So now they tune their pipes. You shall hear sweet music between a hoarse raven and a screech owl. Neighbours, let us not vary, our boys have played their cheating parts, I suspected no less at the Tavern, where four four knaves met together. If it were knavery for four to meet in a Tavern, your wor. wot well there were other four. This villain calls us knaves by craft. Nay truly I dare swear he used no craft, but means plainly. This is worse, come Half. tell truth & scape the rod. As good confess here being trust, as at home with my hose about my heels. Nay I'll tell thee, for 'twill never become thee to utter it. Well out with it. Memphio had a fool to his son which Stellio knew not, Stellio a fool to his daughter unknown to Memphio; to cozen each other they dealt with their boys for a match; we met with Lincio and Halfpenny, who told the love between their master's children, the youth deeply In love, the fathers unwitting to consent.
