Little said is soon amended, thou sayst but little, and that little will be mended soon indeed, that's never, and so the Proverb stands in his full strength, power and virtue. They will not go my Lord. Will they not go? Away with them, expel them from our Court, Base wretches, is it wrong to ask mine own? Think you that my affection to my wife, Is greater than my love to public weal? Do not my people murmur every hour, That I have raised you up to dignities? Do not lewd Minstrels in their ribald runes, scoff at her birth, and descant on her dower? Alas my Lord, you knew her state before. I did, and from the bounty of my heart, I robbed my wardrobe of all precious robes, That she might shine in beauty like the Sun, And in exchange, I hung this russet gown, And this poor pitcher for a monument, Amongst my costliest gems: see here they hang, Grissel look here, this gown is unlike to this? My gracious Lord, I know full well it is. Grissel was as pretty a Grissel in the one as in the other. you have forgot these rags, this water pot. With reverence of your Highness I have not. Nor I, many a good mess of water gruel has that yielded us. Yes, you are proud of these your rich attires. Never did pride keep pace with my desires. Well, get you on, part briefly with your father. Our parting shall be short, daughter farewell. Our parting shall be short, sister farewell. Our parting shall be short, Grissel farewell. Remember thou didst live when thou wert poor, And now thou dost but live, come son no more. See them without the Palace Furio. Good, yet 'tis bad. Shall Furio see them out of the Palace? do you turn us out of doors? you turn us out of doors then? Hence with that fool, Mario drive him hence, He shall not need, I am no Ox nor Ass, I can go without driving, for all his turning, I am glad of one thing. What's that Babulo? Mary that he shall never hit us i'th' teeth with turning us, for 'tis not a good turn, follower I must cashier you: I must give over housekeeping, 'tis the fashion, farewell boy. Marie farewell and be hanged. I am glad thou tak'st thy death so patiently, farewell my Lord, adieu my Lady, great was the wisdom of that tailor, that stitched me in Motley, for he's a fool that leaves basket making to turn Courtier: I see my destiny dogs me: at first I was a fool (for I was borne an Innocent) than I was a traveler, and then a Basketmaker, and then a Courtier, and now I most turn basketmaker and fool again, the one I am sworn to, but the fool I bestow upon the world, for Stultorum plena sunt ominia adieu, adieu.

They will not goe my Lord. Will they not goe? Away with them, expell them from our Court, Base wretches, is it wrong to aske mine owne? Thinke you that my affection to my wife, Is greater then my loue to publicke weale? Doe not my people murmure euerie houre, That I haue rais'd you vp to dignities? Doe not lewde Minstrels in their ribalde runes, Scofe at her birth, and descant on her dower? Alas my Lord, you knew her state before. I did, and from the bounty of my heart, I rob'd my wardrop of all precious robes, That she might shine in beautie like the Sunne, And in exchange, I hung this russet gowne, And this poore pitcher for a monument, Amongst my costliest Iemmes: sée heere they hang, Grissill looke héere, this gowne is vnlike to this?
