Well spoke, 'tis enough, Don Granuffo this Fawnus is a very worthy fellow, and an excellent Courtier, and beloved of most of the princes of Christendom I can tell you, for howsoever some severer dissembler, grace him not when he affronts him in the full face, yet if he comes behind, or on the one side he'll leer and put back his head upon him be sure, be you two precious to each other. Sir myself, my family, my fortunes, are all devoted I protest most religiously to your service. I vow my whole self only proud, in being acknowledged by you, but as your creature, and my only utmost ambition is by my sword or soul to testify, how sincerely I am consecrated to your adoration. 'tis enough, art a Gentleman Fawn? Not one eminent descended, for were the pedigrees of some fortunately mounted, searched, they would be secretly found to be of the blood of the poor Fawn. 'tis enough, you two I love heartily, for thy silence never displeaseth me, nor thy speech ever offend me: See our daughter attends us, my fair, my wise, my chaste, my duteous, and indeed, in all my daughter, (for such a pretty soul for all the world have I been) what I think we have made the Prince to feel his error, what did he think he had weak fools in hand? no he shall find, as wisely said Lucullus, Young men are fools, that go about to gull us. But sooth my wisest father, the young Prince is yet forgetful, and resteth resolute, in his much unadvised love. Is't possible? Nay I protest whate'er he fain to you (as he can feign most deeply) Right we know it, for if you marked he would not once take sense of any such intent from him, O impudence, what mercy canst thou look for? And as I said, royally wise, and wisely royal Father— I think that eloquence is hereditary. Though he can feign, yet I presume your sense is quick enough to find him. Quick, is't not? Is't not Fawn, why I did know you feigned, nay I do know (by the just sequence of such impudence) that he hath laid some second siege unto thy bosom, with most miraculous conveyances of some rich present on thee. O bounteous heaven, how liberal are your graces to my Nestor-like Father. Is't not so, say? 'tis so oraculous Father, he hath now more than courted with bare Phrases. See Father see, the very bane of honour, Corruption of justice and Virginity, Gifts hath he left with me, O view this scarf, This as he called it most envied silk, That should embrace an arm, or waste, or side, Which he much feared should never, this he left, Despite my much resistance.

Tis enough, you two I loue hartelie, for thy silence neuer displeaseth me, nor thy speech euer offend me: See our daughter attendes vs, my faire, my wise, my chast, my dutieous, and indeed, in all my daughter, (for such a pretie soule for all the worlde haue I beene) what I thinke wee haue made the Prince to feele his error, what did hee thinke hee had weake fooles in hand? no hee shall finde, as wisely saide Lucullus, Young men are fooles, that goe aboute to gull vs. But sooth my wisest father, the young Prince is yet forgetfull, and resteth resolute, in his much vnaduised loue.

Ist not Fawne, why I did know you fained, nay I doe know (by the iust sequence of such impudence) that hee hath laide some second siedge vnto thy bosome, with most miraculous conueyances of some rich present on thee. O bounteous heauen, how liberall are your graces to my Nestor-like Father. Ist not so, say? Tis so oraculous Father, he hath now more then courted with bare Phrases. See Father see, the very bane of honour, Corruption of iustice and Virginity, Giftes hath he left with me, O view this scarffe, This as he calde it most enuied silke, That should embrace an arme, or wast, or side, Which he much fearde should neuer, this hee left, Despight my much resistance.
