How: is my wife gone forth, where is she sister? she's gone abroad with Pizo. Abroad with Pizo? oh that villain dors me. He hath discovered all unto my wife, Beast that I was to trust him: whither went she? I know not sir. I'll tell you brother whither I suspect she's gone. Whither for god's sake? To Cobs house I believe: but keep my counsel. I will, I will, to Cobs house? doth she haunt Cobs, she's gone a purpose now to cuckold me, With that lewd rascal, who to win her favour, Hath told her all.

What a mad Doctor is this? come sister let's away. I wonder signor what they will say of my going away: ha? Why, what should they say? but as of a discreet gentleman. Quick, wary, respectful of natures, Fair lineaments, and that's all. Why so, but what can they say of your beating? A rude part, a touch with soft wood, a kind of gross battery used, laid on strongly: born most patiently, and that's all. I but would any man have offered it in Venice? Tut I assure you no: you shall have there your Nobilis, your Gentelezza, come in bravely upon your reverse, stand you close, stand you farm, stand you fair, save your retricato with his left leg, come to the assaulto with the right, thrust with brave steel, defy your base wood. But wherefore do I awake this remembrance? I was bewitched by Iesu: but I will be revenged. Do you hear ist not best to get a warrant and have him arrested, and brought before doctor Clement. It were not amiss would we had it. Why here comes his man, let's speak to him. Agreed, do you speak. God save you sir. With all my heart sir?
