What mean you sister? Pray my Lord away; consider me as I am, a woman. Lord, how I have whittled her? You come a-wooing to me now; pray thee Duke mark my Lord Medice; and do you mark me virgin; Stand you aside, my Lord, all, and you; give place; now my Lord Medice, put case I be strange a little, yet you like a man put me to it. Come kiss me my Lord, be not ashamed. Not I Mad, come no ng ou. . fister, v' too ; will you goet . What's the matter? D'ee think I am drunk? I think so truly. But are you sure I am drunk? Else I would not think so. But, I would be glad to be sure on't. I assure you then. Why then say nothing; & I'll begone Good bye lord, duke I'll come again anon. I hope your Grace will pardon her my liege, For 'tis most strange; she's as discreet a dame As any in these countries, and as sober, But for this only humour of the cup 'tis good my Lord sometimes: Come, to our hunting; now 'tis time I think. The very best time of the day, my Lord. Then my Lord, I will take my leave till night, Reserving thanks for all my entertainment, Till I return; in mean time, lovely dame, Remember the high state you last presented, And think it was not a mere festival show, But an essential type of that you are In full consent of all my faculties And hark you good my Lord. See now, they whisper Some private order, (I dare lay my life) For a forced marriage betwixt my love and father, I therefore must make sure: and noble friends, I'll leave you all, when I have brought you forth, And seen you in the chase; meanwhile observe In all the time this solemn hunting lasts, My father and his minion Medice, And note, if you can gather any sign, That they have missed me, and suspect my being, If which fall out, send home my Page before. I will not fail my Lord. Now take thy time. I warrant you my Lord, he shall not scape me. Now my dear Mistress, till our sports intended end with my absence, I will take my leave. Blo, attend you on my daughter. I will my Lord. Now will the sport begin; I think my love Will handle him, as well as I have done. Madam, I take my leave, and humbly thank you. Welcome good madam; maids wait on my Lady. So mistress, this is fit. Fit sir, why so? Why so? I have most fortunate news for you. For me sir? I beseech you what are they? Merit and Fortune, for you both agree; Merit what you have, and have what you merit. Lord with what Rhetoric you prepare your news!
