For Iaquenetta (so is the weaker vessel called) which I apprehended with the aforesaid Swain, I keeper her as a vessel of thy Law's fury, and shall at the least of thy sweet notice, bring her to trial. Thine in all compliments of devoted and heartburning heat of duty. Done Adriana de Armada. This is not so well as I looked for, but the best that ever I heard. I the best, for the worst. But sirrah, What say you to this? Sir I confess the Wench. Did you hear the Proclamation? I do confess much of the hearing it, but little of the marking of it. It was proclaimed a years imprisonment to be taken with a Wench. I was taken with none sir, I was taken with a Damsel. Well, it was proclaimed Damsel. This was no Damsel neither sir, she was a Virgin. It is so varried to, for it was proclaimed Virgin. If it were, I deny her Virginity: I was taken with a Maid. This Maid will not serve your turn sir. This Maid will serve my turn sir. Sir I will pronounce your sentence: You shall fast a Week with Bran and water. I had rather pray a Month with Mutton and Porridge. And Don Armado shall be your keeper. My Lord Berowne, see him delivered over, And go we Lords to put in practice that, Which each to other hath so strongly sworn. I'll lay my head to any good man's hat, These oaths and laws will prove an idle scorn. Sirrah, come on. I suffer for the truth sir: for true it is, I was taken with Iaquenetta, and Iaquenetta is a true girl, and therefore welcome the sour cup of prosperity, affliction may one day smile again, and until then sit down sorrow. Boy, What sign is it when a man of great spirit grows melancholy? A great sign sir, that he will look sad. Why? sadness is one and the selfsame thing dear imp. No no, O Lord sir no. How canst thou part sadness and melancholy my tender Iwenall? By a familiar demonstration of the working, my tough signeur. Why tough signeur? Why tough signeur? Why tender Iwenall? Why tender Iwenall? I spoke it tender Iwenall, as a congruent apathaton, appertaining to thy young days, which we may nominate tender. And I tough signeur, as an appertinent title to your old time, which we may name tough. Pretty and apt. How mean you sir, I pretty, and my saying apt? or I apt, and my saying pretty? Thou pretty because little. Little pretty, because little: wherefore apt? And therefore apt, because quick. Speak you this in my praise Master? In thy condign praise. I will praise an Eel with the same praise. What? that an Eel is ingenuous. That an Eel is quick. I do say thou art quick in answers. Thou heat'st my blood. I am answered sir. I love not to be crossed. He speaks the mere contrary, crosses love not him. I have promised to study iij. years with the Duke. You may do it in an hour sir. Impossible.

For Iaquenetta (ſo is the weaker veſſell called) which I apprehended with the aforeſaid Swaine, I keeper her as a veſſell of thy Lawes furie, and ſhall at the leaſt of thy ſweet notice, bring her to triall. Thine in all complements of deuoted and heart-burning heat of dutie. Don Adriana de Armado. This is not ſo well as I looked for, but the beſt that euer I heard. I the beſt, for the worſt. But ſirra, What ſay you to this? Sir I confeſſe the Wench. Did you heare the Proclamation? I doe confeſſe much of the hearing it, but little of the marking of it. It was proclaimed a yeeres impriſonment to bee taken with a Wench. I was taken with none ſir, I was taken vvith a Damoſell. Well, it was proclaimed Damoſell. This was no Damoſell neyther ſir, ſhee was a Virgin. It is ſo varried to, for it was proclaimed Virgin. If it were, I denie her Virginitie: I was taken with a Maide. This Maid will not ſerue your turne ſir. This Maide will ſerue my turne ſir. Sir I will pronounce your ſentence: You ſhall faſt a Weeke with Branne and water. I had rather pray a Moneth with Mutton and Porridge. And Don Armado ſhall be your keeper. My Lord Berowne, ſee him deliuer'd ore, And goe we Lords to put in practice that, Which each to other hath ſo ſtrongly ſworne. Ile lay my head to any good mans hat, Theſe oathes and lawes will proue an idle ſcorne. Sirra, come on. I ſuffer for the truth ſir: for true it is, I was taken with Iaquenetta, and Iaquenetta is a true girle, and therefore welcome the ſowre cup of proſperitie, affliction may one day ſmile againe, and vntill then ſit downe ſorrow. Boy, What ſigne is it when a man of great ſpirit growes melancholy? A great ſigne ſir, that he will looke ſad. Why? ſadneſſe is one and the ſelfe-ſame thing deare impe. No no, O Lord ſir no. How canſt thou part ſadneſſe and melancholy my tender Iuuenall? By a familiar demonſtration of the working, my tough ſigneur. Why tough ſigneur? Why tough ſigneur? Why tender Iuuenall? Why tender Iuuenall? I ſpoke it tender Iuuenall, as a congruent apathaton, appertaining to thy young daies, which we may nominate tender. And I tough ſigneur, as an appertinent title to your olde time, which we may name tough. Pretty and apt. How meane you ſir, I pretty, and my ſaying apt? or I apt, and my ſaying prettie? Thou pretty becauſe little. Little pretty, becauſe little: wherefore apt? And therefore apt, becauſe quicke. Speake you this in my praiſe Maſter? In thy condigne praiſe. I will praiſe an Eele with the ſame praiſe. What? that an Eele is ingenuous. That an Eele is quicke. I doe ſay thou art quicke in anſweres. Thou heat'ſt my bloud. I am anſwer'd ſir. I loue not to be croſt. He ſpeakes the meere contrary, croſſes loue not him. I haue promis'd to ſtudy iij. yeres with the Duke. You may doe it in an houre ſir. Impoſſible.
