A fig for your conceits, in this I know there can be none that: Say he be his father's eldest son, and a merchant of good wealth, yet my dear Anthony's as rich as he: What though his portion was but small at first, His industry hath now increased his talon; And he that knoweth the getting of a penny, Will fear to spend, she shall have him, if any. By the Mary God wife, you vex me. 'tis your own impatience, you may choose. I will not wed my daughter to that Anthony. By this. Hold wife, hold, I advise thee swear not, For by him that made me, first I vow, She shall not touch the bed of Anthony. And may I never live (so God me help) If ever she be wed to Ferdinand. The devil's in this woman, how she thwarts me still! Fret on, good husband, I will have my will. But conceit me wife, suppose we should consent our daughter should wed either of them both, and she dislike the match, were that a good conceit? All's one for that, I know my daughter's mind if I but say the word. I would be loath to wed her against her will, Content thee wife, we'll hear her resolution, And as I find her, to her own content To either of them she shall have my consent. Why now old Flower speaketh like himself. Agreed, and faith wife 'tis a good conceit, And see where my daughter comes: welcome girl, How doth your Mistress Phillis? God bless thee Phillis, rise. God have the glory, in perfect health she is. 'tis good, I am glad she doth so well; But list my daughter, I have golden news To impart unto thee: A golden, Golding, wench, must be thy husband, Is't not a good conceit? Father, I understand you not. Then, my girl, thy conceit is very shallow, Master Ferdinand Golding is in love with thee. No daughter, 'tis thine Anthony. Ferdinand is rich, for he hath store of gold. Anthony is rich, yet is not so old. Ferdinand is virtuous, full of modesty. Anthony's more gracious, if more may be. Ferdinand is wise (being wise) who would not love him. Anthony more wise, than Girl desire to prove him. In Ferdinand is all the beauty that may be. He is deceived, 'tis in thine Anthony. Dear Parents, you confound me with your words, I pray what mean these hot persuasions? Thy good my daughter. If but ruled by me. But for thy ill-fare. If she tend to thee. The truth is this, that each of us hath ta'en A solemn vow, that thou my loving daughter Shalt wed with one of those two gentlemen: But yet refer the choice unto thyself, One thou shalt love, love Ferdinand, if me. If love thy mother, love thine Anthonie. In these extremes what shall become of me? I pray you give me respite to consider How to digest these impositions, You have imposed a business of such weight, Pray God your daughter may discharge herself.
