God ye good-morrow Gentlemen. God ye good den fair Gentlewomen. Is it god ye gooden I pray you. 'tis no less I assure you, for the bawdy hand of the dial is even now upon the prick of noon. Fie, what a man is this? A Gentleman Nurse, that God hath made for himself to mar. By my troth well said: for himself to mar quoth he? I pray you can any of you tell where one may find young Romeo? I can: but young Romeo will be elder when you have found him, that he was when you sought him. I am the youngest of that name for fault of a worse. Well said. Yea, is the worst well? mas well noted, wisely, wisely. If you be he sir, I desire some conference with ye. O, belike she means to invite him to supper. So ho. A bawd, a bawd, a bawd. Why what hast found man? No hare sir, unless it be a hare in a lenten pie, that is somewhat stolen and hoar ere it be eaten. And an old hare hore, and an old hare hore is very good meat in Lent: But a hare that's hoar is too much for a score, if it hore ere it be spent. You! come to your fathers to supper? I will. Farewell ancient Lady, farewell sweet Lady. Marry farewell. Pray what saucy merchant was this that was so full of his roperipe? A gentleman Nurse that loves to hear himself talk, and will speak more in an hour than he will stand to in a month. If he stand to any thing against me, Ile take him down if he were lustier than he is: if I cannot take him down, I'll find them that shall: I am none of his flurtgills, I am none of his skeins mates. And thou like a knave must stand by, and see every Iacke use me at his pleasure. I see no body use you at his pleasure, if I had, I would soon have drawn: you know my tool is as soon out as another's if I see time and place. Now afore God he hath so vexed me, that every member about me quivers: scurvy Iacke. But as I said, my Lady bade me seek ye out, and what she bade me tell ye, that I'll keep to myself: but if you should lead her into a fools paradise as they say, it were a very gross kind of behaviour as they say, for the Gentlewoman is young. Now if you should deal doubly with her, it were very weak dealing, and not to be offered to any Gentlewoman. Nurse, commend me to thy Lady, tell her I protest. Good heart: i'faith I'll tell her so: oh she will be a joyful woman. Why, what wilt thou tell her? That you do protest: which (as I take it) is a Gentleman like proffer.
