No longer love no longer let me live. O flat I loved one indeed, now love I none but only thee. Thanks worthy princes I borne likewise, Yet smother up the blast, I dare not promise what I may perform, Well shepherd, hark what I shall say, I will return unto my Father's court. Therefore to provide me of such nescessaries, As for our journey I shall think most fit, This being done I will return to thee, Do thou therefore appoint the place where we may meet. Down in the valley where I slew the bear, And there doth grow a fair broad branched beach, That overshades a well, so who comes first Let them abide the happy meeting of us both. How like you this? I like it very well. Now if you please you may appoint the time, Full three hours hence God willing, I will return. The thanks that paris gave the graecian queen the like doth Mucedorus yield. Then Mucedorus forthreee hours farewell. Your departure lady breeds a privy pain. 'tis well Segasto that thou hast thy will, Should such a shhephard, such a simple swain As he, eclipse thy credit famous through the court. No ply Segasto ply; let it not in Arragon be said, A shepherd hath Segatoes' honour won. What ho master will you come away; Will you come hither I pray you, what's the matter? Why, is it not past a leaven a clock. How then sir. I pray you come away to dinner: I pray you come hither. Here's such a do with you, will you never come. I pray you sir what news of the message I sent you about, I tell you all the messes be on the table already, There wants not so much as a mess of mustard half an nower ago. Come sir, your mind is all upon your belly. You have forgotten what I did bid you do, Faith I know nothing, but you bade me go to breakfast. Was that all; Faith I have forgotten it, the very sent of the meat made me hath forget it quite. You have forgotten the arrant I bid you do. What arrant, an arrant knave, or arrant whore; Why thou knave, did I not bid thee banish the shepherd. O the shepherds bastard. I tell thee the shepherds banishment. I tell you the shepherds bastard shallbe well kept i'll look to it my self else, but I pray you come away to dinner. Then you will not tell me whether you have banished him or Noah. Why I cannot say banishment and you would give me a thousand pounds to say so, Why you whoreson slave, have you forgotten, that I sent you, and another to drive away the shepherd. What an ass are you. here's a stir in deeed here's message, arrant, banishment, and I cannot tell what. I pray you sir, shall I know whether you have drove him away. Faith I think I have, and you will not believe me ask my stafe.
