What should I do with him, dress him in my apparel and make him my waiting gentle woman? he that hath a beard, is more than a youth: and he that hath no beard, is less than a man: and he that is more than a youth, is not for me, and he that is less than a man, I am not for him, therefore I will even take sixpence in earnest of the Berrord, and lead his apes into hell. Well then go you into hell. No but to the gate, and there will the devil meet me like an old cuckold with horns on his head, and say, get you to heaven Beatrice, get you to heaven, here's no place for you maids, so deliver I up my apes and away to saint Peter: for the heavens, he shows me where the Bachelors sit, and there live we as merry as the day is long. Well niece, I trust you will be ruled by your father. Yes faith, it is my cousin's duty to make curtsy and say, father, as it please you: but yet for all that cousin, let him be a handsome fellow, or else make an other curtsy, and say, father, as it please me. Well niece, I hope to see you one day fitted with a husband. Not till God make men of some other metal than earth, would it not grieve a woman to be over-masterd with a piece of valiant dust? to make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marvel? no uncle, i'll none: Adam's sons are my brethren, and truly I hold it a sin to match in my kindred. Daughter, remember what I told you, if the prince do solicit you in that kind, you know your answer. The fault will be in the music cousin, if you be not wooed in good time: if the prince be too important, tell him there is measure in every thing, and so dance out the answer, for hear me Hero, wooing, wedding, and repenting, is as a Scotch ijgge, a measure, and a cinquepace: the first suit is hot and hasty like a Scotch ijgge (and full as fantastical) the wedding mannerly modest (as a measure) full of state and aunchentry, and then comes Repentance, and with his bad legs falls into the cinquepace faster and faster, till he sink into his grave. Cousin you apprehend passing shrewdly. I have a good eye uncle, I can see a church by daylight. The revellers are entering brother, make good room. Lady will you walk about with your friend? So, you walk softly, and look sweetly, and say nothing, I am yours for the walk, and especially when I walk away. With me in your company. I may say so when I please. And when please you to say so? When I like your favour, for God defend the lute should be like the case. My visor is Philemons roof, within the house is Ioue.
