Yes, it is apparel. I mean the fashion. Yes the fashion is the fashion. Tush, I may as well say the fool's the fool, but seest thou not what a deformed thief this fashion is? I know that deformed, a has been a vile thief, this vii. years, a goes up and down like a gentle man: I remember his name. Didst thou not hear some body? No, 'twas the vain on the house. Seest thou not (I say) what a deformed thief this fashion is, how giddily a turns about all the Hot-blouds, between fourteen & five & thirty, sometimes fashioning them like Pharaoes' soldiers in the rechie painting, sometime like god Bells priests in the old Church window, sometime like the shaven Hercules in the smircht worm eaten tapestry, where his codpiece seems as massy as his club. All this I see, and see that the fashion wears out more apparel than the man; but art not thou thyself giddy with the fashion too that thou hast shifted out of thy tale into telling me of the fashion? Not so neither, but know that I have to night wooed Margaret the Lady Heroes gentlewoman, by the name of Hero, she leans me out at her mistress chamber-window, bids me a thousand times good night: I tell this tale vildly. I should first tell thee how the Prince Claudio and my Master planted, and placed, and possessed by my Master Don Iohn, saw a far off in the Orchard this amiable encounter. And thought thy Margaret was Hero? Two of them did, the Prince and Claudio, but the devil my Master knew she was Margaret and partly by his oaths, which first possessed them, partly by the dark night which did deceive them, but chiefly, by my villainy, which did confirm any slander that Don Iohn had made, away went Claudio enraged, swore he would meet her as he was appointed next morning at the Temple, and there, before the whole congregation shame her with what he saw o'er night, and send her home again without a husband. We charge you in the Prince's name stand. Call up the right master Constable, we have here recovered the most dangerous piece of lechery, that ever was known in the Commonwealth. And one Deformed is one of them, I know him, a wears a lock. Mast masters. You'll be made bring deformed forth I warrant you, Masters, never speak, we charge you, let us obey you to go with us. We are like to prove a goodly commodity, being taken up of these men's bills. A commodity in question I warrant you, come we'll obey you. Good Ursula wake my cousin Beatrice, and desire her to rise. I will Lady. And bid her come hither. Well. Troth I think your other rabato were better.
