Put up thy pistol 'tis a most dangerous humour in thee. Oh is that all why see 'tis up again, now thou shalt lee I'll come to her in thy humour, sweet lady I love sweet words, but sweet deeds are the noble sounds of a noble spaniard, noble by country, noble by valour, noble by birth, my very foot is nobler than the head of another man, upon my life I love, and upon my love I live, and so sweet Nymph I kiss your hand, why lo here we are both, I am in this hand, and he is in that handy dandy prickly prandy, which hand will you have. This hand my Lord if I may have my choice Come spaniard to your penance bite your thumbs. Oh base woman. 'sblood no base woman but bite your thumbs quickly. Honour commands I must do it. Come on sweet lady give me your hands if you are mine, I am yours, if you take me now at the worst I am the more beholding to you, if I be not good enough, I'll mend what would you more. It is enough my Lord and I am yours. Since I well know my fortune is to have you Now must I leave the pleasant maiden chase, In hunting savage beasts with Isis' nymphs, And take me to a life which I God knows, Do know no more than how to scale the heavens. Well I'll teach you fear not you, what signor not bite your thumbs, Pardon me sir, pardon me. By God's blood I will not pardon you therefore bite your thumbs. By thy sweet let me speak one word with thee, I do not like this humour in thee in pistolling men in this sort, it is a most dangerous and stigmatical humour, for by thy favour 'tis the most finest thing of the world for a man to have a most gentlemanlike carriage of himself, for otherwise I do hold thee for the most tall resolute and accomplished gentleman on the face of the earth, hark ye we'll meet at Corrucus and we'll have a pipe of Tobacco adieu adieu. Do you hear sir, put your thumbs in your mouth without any more ado, by the heavens I'll shoot thee through the mouth. It is base and ridiculous. Well thou shalt not do it, lend me thy thumbs I'll bite them for thee Pardon me. Swoons and you had I would have made such a woeful parting betwixt your fingers and your thumb that your spanish fists should never meet again, in this world will you doit sir. I will, I will presto and I will follow thee. Why so oh that we had a noise of musicians to play to this antic as we go, come on sweet lady give me your hands we'll to Church and be married straight, bear with my haste now, I'll be slow enough another time I warrant you, come spaniola questo, questo, spaniola questo.
