To a resolute mind these torments are not felt. A very arrant Ass, when he is hungry will feed on though he be whipped to the bones, and shall a very arrant Ass Zuccone, be more virtuously patient, than a noble. No Fawn, the world shall know I have more virtue, than so. Do so and be wise. I will I warrant thee, so I may be revenged, what care I what I do? Call a dog worshipful, Nay, I will embrace, nay I will embrace a jakes-farmer after eleven o'clock at night, I will stand bare, and give wall to a Bellows-mender, pawn my Lordship, sell my foot-cloth, but I will be revenged, does she think she has married an Ass? A Fool? A coxcomb? A Ninnihammer? A Woodcock? A Calf? No, she shall find that I ha' eyes. And brain. And nose. And Forehead. She shall i'faith Fawn, she shall, she shall, sweet Fawn, she shall i'faith old boy, it joys my blood to think on't, she shall i'faith; farewell loved Fawn, sweet Fawn farewell, she shall i'faith boy. We would be private only Faunus stay, He is a wise fellow Daughter, a very wise fellow, for he is still just of my opinion: my Lord Granuffo, you may likewise stay for, I know you'll say nothing, say on Daughter. And as I told you sir, Tiberio being sent, Graced in high trust as to negotiate His royal father's love, if he neglect The honour of this faith, just care of state, And every fortune that gives likelihood To his best hopes, to draw our weaker heart To his own love (as I protest he does) I'll rate the Prince with such a heat of breath His ears shall glow, nay, I discovered him I read his eyes, as I can read an eye, Though it speak in darkest Characters I can, Can we not Fawn, can we not my Lord? Why I conceive you now, I understand you both: You both admire, yes, say is't not hit? Though we are old, or so, yet we ha' wit. And you may say, (if so your wisdom please As you are truly wise) how weak a creature Soft woman is to beat the siege and strength, Of so prevailing feature, and fair language, As that of his is ever: you may add, (If so your wisdom please, as you are wise) As mortal man may be I am of years, apt for his love, & if he should proceed in private urgent suit, how easy 'twere, To win my love, for you may say (if so Your wisdom please) you find in me A very forward passion to enjoy him, And therefore you beseech him seriously Straight to forbear, with such close cunning art, To urge his too well graced suit: for you (If so your Lordship please) may say I told you all.
