So between eight and nine: I forsooth, for then her husband goes a birding, Well commend me to thy mistress, tell her I will not fail her: Boy give her my purse. Nay sir I have another arant to do to you From mistresses Page: From mistresses Page? I prithee what of her? By my troth I think you work by Enchantments, Else they could never love you as they do: Not I, I assure thee: setting the atraction of my Good parts aside, I use no other enchantments: Well sir, she loves you extremely: And let me tell you, she's one that fears God, And her husband gives her leave to do all: For he is not half so jealousy as M. Ford is. But hark thee, hath mistresses Page & mistress Ford, Acquainted each other how dearly they love me? O God no sir: there were a jest indeed. Well farewell, commend me to mistresses Ford, I will not fail her say. God be with your worship. Sir here's a Gentleman, One M. Brooke, would speak with you, He hath sent you a cup of sack. M. Brook, he's welcome: Bid him come up, Such Brooks are always welcome to me: A Iack, will thy old body yet hold out? Wilt thou after the expense of so much money Be now a gainer? Good body I thank thee, And I'll make more of thee then I ha' done: Ha, ha, mistresses Ford, and mistresses Page, have I caught you a the hip? go too. God save you sir. And you too, would you speak with me? Mary would I sir, I am somewhat bold to trouble you, My name is Brooke. Good M. Brooke your very welcome. I faith sir I am a gentleman and a traveler, That have seen somewhat. And I have often heard That if money goes before, all ways lie open. Money is a good soldier sir, and will on. I faith sir, and I have a bag here, Would you would help me to bear it. O Lord, would I could tell how to deserve To be your porter. That may you easily sir Iohn: I have an earnest Suit to you. But good sir Iohn when I have Told you my grief, cast one eye of your own Estate, since yourself knew what 'tis to be Such an offender. Very well sir, proceed. Sir I am deeply in love with one Fords wife Of this Town. Now sir Iohn you are a gentleman Of good discoursing, well beloved among Ladies, A man of such parts that might win 20. such as she. O good sir. Nay believe it sir Iohn, for 'tis time. Now my love Is so grounded upon her, that without her love I shall hardly live. Have you importuned her by any means? No never Sir. Of what quality is your love then? I faith sir, like a fair house set upon Another man's foundation.
