See Madam, she now comes to attend you. God save my honourable Knight, and his worshipful Lady. You're very welcome! you must not put on your Hat yet. No Madam; till I know your Ladyships further pleasure, I will not presume. And is this a Gentleman's daughter new come out of the country? She is Madam; & one that her Father hath a special care to bestow in some honourable lady's service, to put her out of her honest humours forsooth, for she had a great desire to be a Nun, an't please you. A Nun? what Nun? a Nun Substantive? or a Nun Adjective? A Nun Substantive Madam I hope, if a Nun be a Noun. But I mean, Lady, a vowed maid of that order. I'll teach her to be a maid of the order I warrant you: and can you do any work belongs to a ladies Chamber? What I cannot do, Madam, I would be glad to learn. Well said, hold up then; hold up your head I say, come hither a little. I thank your Ladyship. And hark you; Good man, you may put on your Hat now, I do not look on you: I must have you of my faction now; not of my Knights, maid. No forsooth Madam of yours. And draw all my servants in my Bow, and keep my counsel, and tell me tales, and put me Riddles and read on a book sometimes when I am busy, and laugh at country Gentlewomen, and command any thing in the house for my retainers, and care not what you spend, for it is all mine; and in any case, be still a Maid whatsoever you do, or whatsoever any man can do unto you. I warrant your Ladyship for that. Very well, you shall ride in my coach with me into the country tomorrow morning; Come Knight, pray thee let's make a short supper, and to bed presently. Nay good Madam, this night I have a short Supper at home, waits on his worship's acceptation. By my faith but he shall not go Sir; I shall swoon and he sup from me. Pray thee forbear; shall he lose his provision? I by Lady Sir, rather than I lose my longing; come in I say: as I am a Lady you shall not go. I told him what a burr he had gotten. If you will not sup from your Knight Madam, let me entreat your Ladyship to sup at my house with him. No by my faith Sir, than we cannot be a-bed soon enough, after supper. What a Medicine is this? well Master Security, you are new married as well as I; I hope you are bound as well: we must honour our young wives you know. In policy Dad, till tomorrow she has sealed. I hope in the morning yet your Knighthood will breakfast with me. As early as you will Sir. Thank your good worship; I do hunger and thirst to do you good Sir.
