It shall suffice good sister Delia, it shall suffice, But fail us not good sister, give order to cooks, and others, For I would not have my sweet Francke To soil her fingers. No by my troth not I, a gentlewoman, and a married Gentlewoman too, to be companions to cooks, And kitchen-boys, not I, i'faith: I scorn that. Why I do not mean thou shalt sweet heart, Thou seest I do not go about it: well farewell too: You, Gods pity M. Weathercock, we shall have your company too? With all my heart, for I love good cheer. Well, God be with you all, come Frank. God be with you father, God be with you sir Arthur, Master Oliver, and master Weathercock, sister, God be with you all: God be with you father, God be with you every one. Why how now sir Arthur? all a mort master Oliver, how now man? cheerly sir Lancelot, and merrily say, Who can hold that will away. I she is gone indeed, poor girl undone, But when they'll be self-willed, children must smart. But sir, that she is wronged, you are the chiefest cause. Therefore 'tis reason, you redress her wrong. Indeed you must sir Lancelot, you must. Must? who can compel me master Weathercock? I hope I may do what I list. I grant you may, you may do what you list. Nay, but and you be well evisen, it were not good By this frampolness, and frowardness, to cast away As pretty a dowsabell, as am chould chance to see In a summers day, Chil tell you what chall do, Chil go spy up and down the town, and see if I Can hear any tale or dydings of her, And take her away from thick a mesel, vor cham Ashured, he'll but bring her to the spoil, And so var you well, we shall meet at your son Civets. I thank you sir, I take it very kindly. To find her out, i'll spend my dearest blood. So well I loved her, to affect her good. O master Weathercock, what hap had I, to force my daughter From master Oliver, and this good knight? To one that hath no goodness in his thought. Ill luck, but what remedy. Yes I have almost devised a remedy, Young Flowerdale, is sure a prisoner. Sure, nothing more sure. And yet perhaps his Uncle hath released him. It may be very like, no doubt he hath. Well if he be in prison, i'll have warrant To attach my daughter till the law be tried, For I will sue him upon cozenage. Mary may you, and overthrow him too: Nay that's not so, I may chance be scoffed, And sentence passed with him. Believe me so he may, therefore take heed. Well Howsoever, yet I will have warrants, In prison, or at liberty, all's one: You will help to serve them master Weathercock?
