Passion of me, what a wretch am I to hate this loving youth, he hath made me, together with my Luce he loves so dear, executors of all his wealth. All, all good man, he hath given you all. Three ships now in the straits, & homeward bound, Two Lordships of two hundred pound a year: The one in Wales, the other in Gloucestershire: Debts and accounts, are thirty thousand pound, Plate, money, jewels, 16. thousand more, Two housen furnished well in Coleman street: Beside whatsoever his Uncle leaves to him, Being of great demeans and wealth at Peckham. How like you this good knight? how like you this? I have done him wrong, but now i 'll make amends, The Devonshire man shall whistle for a wife, He marry Luce, Luce shall be Flowerdale's. Why that is friendly said, let's ride to London and prevent their match, by promising your daughter to that lovely lad. we'll ride to London, or it shall not need, we'll cross to Dedfort-strand, and take a boat: Where be these knaves? what Artichoke, what Fop? Here be the very knaves, but not the merry knaves. Here take my cloak, i'll have a walk to Dedford. Sir we have been scouring of our swords and bucklers for your defence. Defence me no defence, let your sword's rust, i'll have no fighting: ay, let blows alone, bid Delia see all things be in readiness against the wedding, we'll have two at once, and that will save charges master Weathercock. Well we will do it syr. By my truth this is good luck, I thank God for this, In good sooth I have even my heart's desire: sister Delia, now I may boldly call you so, for your father hath Frank and freely given me his daughter Francke. I by my troth Tom, thou hast my good will too, for I thank God I longed for a husband, and would I might never stir, for one his name was Tom. Why sister now you have your wish. You say very true sister Delia, and I prithee call me nothing but Tom and i'll call thee sweetheart, and Frank: will it not do well sister Delia? It will do very well with both of you. But Tom, must I go as I do now when I am married? No Francke, i'll have thee go like a Citizen In a guarded gown, and a French-hood. By my troth that will be excellent indeed. Brother, maintain your wife to your estate, Apparel you yourself like to your father: And let her go like to your ancient mother, He sparing got his wealth, left it to you, Brother take heed of pride, some bids thrift adieu. So as my father and my mother went, that's a jest indeed, why she went in a fringed gown, a single ruff, and a white cap. And my father in a mocado coat, a pair of red satin sleeves, and a canvas back.
