But then she'll out again at the back door, And meet with him, but I will search about, All these same fields and paths near to my house, They are not far I am sure, if I make haste, O God how went he hence? I did not see him, It was when Barnes wife did scold with me, A plague on her, Dick why didst not thou look to him? What should I look for him? no, no, I look not for him while tomorrow morning. Come go with me to help to look him out, Alas, I have nor light, nor Link, nor Torch, Though it be dark, I will take any pains, To cross this match, I prithee Dick away. Mistress because I brought ye out, I'll bring ye home but if I should follow, so he might have the law on his side. Come 'tis no matter, prithee go with me. Philip thy mothers gone to seek thy sister. And in a rage i'faith, but who comes here? Old master Goursey, as I think 'tis he. 'tis so indeed. who's there? A friend of yours. What master Barnes did ye not see my wife? Yes sir I saw her, she was here even now. I doubted that, that made me come unto you: But whether is she gone? To seek your son, who slipped away from her, To meet with Mall my sister in a place Where I appointed: and my mother too, Seek for my sister, so they both are gone, My mother hath a Torch, marry your wife Goes darkling up and down, and Coomes before her. I thought that knave was with her, but 'tis well, I pray God they may come by near a light, But both be led a dark dance in the night. Why is my fellow Dick in the dark with my Mistress. I pray God they be honest, for there may be much knavery in the Dark, faith if I were there, I would have some knavery with them, good master will ye carry the torch yourself, & give me leave to play the blind man buff with my mistress, On that condition thou wilt do thy best, To keep thy Mistress and thy fellow Dick, Both from my sister, and thy master's son, I will entreat thy master let thee go. O ay, I warrant ye, i'll have fine tricks to cozen them Well sir, then go your ways, I give you leave. O brave, but where about are they? About our coney green they surely are, if thou canst find them. O let me alone to grope for coneys. Well, now will I to Frank and to my sister, Stand you two hearkening near the coney green, But sure your light in you must not be seen, Or else let Nicholas stand afar off with it, And as his life keep it from mistress Goursey, Shall this be done? Philip it shall, God be with ye, I'll be gone. Come on master Goursey, this fame is a means, To make our wives friends, if they resist not.
