Nay William pray ye be not angry, you must bear with old folks, They be old and tasty, hot and hasty: set not your wit against mine William, For I thought you no harm by my troth. Well, your good words have something laid my collar. But Granam shall I be so bold to come to your house now and then to keep Peg company? ay, and beshrew thy good heart and thou dost not. Come, and we'll have a piece of a barley bagpudding or something, And thou shalt be very heartily welcome that thou shalt, And Peg shall bid thee welcome too: pray ye maid bid him welcome and make much on him, for by my vay he's a good proper springold Granam: if you did but see him dance 'twould do your heart good: Lord, 'twould make anybody love him, to see how finely he'll foot it. William, prithee go home to my house with us, and taste a cup of our beer, and learn to know the way, again another time. Come on Granam, I'll man you home i'faith: Come Peg.

Peter, you ha' seen my daughter I am sure: how do you like her? What says she to you? Faith I like her well, and I have broken my mind to her, and she would say neither I nor no; But, thank God Sir, we parted good friends, For she let me kiss her hand and bad Farewell Peter. And therefore I think I am like enough to speed: how think you Master Churms? Marry I think so too, For she did show no token of any dislike of your motion, did she? No not a whit Sir. Why, then I warrant ye: For we hold in our Law, that Idem est non apparere & non esse. Master Churms, I pray you do so much as call my daughter hither, I will make her sure here to Peter Ploddall, and I'll desire you to be a witness. With all my heart Sir. Before God, neighbour, this same Master Churms is a very good Lawer: for I'll warrant, you cannot speak any thing, but he has law for it ad unguem, Marry e'en the more joy on him, And he's one that I am very much beholding to: But here comes your daughter. Father did you send for me? I wench I did, come hither Lelia, give me thy hand. Mr. Churms, I pray you bear witness, I here give Lelia to P. Ploddall. How now? she'll none she thanks you Sir.
