Eyes, eyes. Thy eyes may be deceived I tell thee, For should an Angel from the heavens drop down And preach this to me that thyself hast told, He should have such ado to win belief In both their loves I am so confident. Shall I discourse the same by circumstance? No more, to supper, and command your fellows To attend us and the strangers: not a word, I charge thee on thy life be secret then, For I know nothing. I am dumb, and now that I have eased my stomach I will go fill my stomach Away, be gone: She is well borne, descended Nobly, Virtuous her education, her repute Is in the general voice of all the country Honest and fair, her carriage, her demeanour In all her actions that concern the love To me her husband, modest, chaste, and godly. Is all this seeming gold plain Copper. But he; that Iudas that hath borne my purse, And sold me for a sin, oh God, oh God; Shall I put up these wrongs? no, shall I trust The bare report of this suspicious groom Before the double guilt, the well hatch over Of their two hearts? No, I will lose these thoughts, Distraction I will banish from my brow, And from my looks exile sad discontent, Their wonted favours in my tongue shall flow, Till I know all, I'll nothing seem to know? Lights and a Table there wife, Master Wendol and gentle Master Cranwell. O you are a stranger master Cranwell you, And often baulk my house: faith you are a Churl, Now we have supped, a table and to cards. A pair of Cards Nicklas, and a carpet to cover the table, where's Sisly with her Counters and her box, candles and candle sticks there, fie we have such a household of serving creatures, unless it be Nick and I, there's not one amongst them all can say, boe to a goose: well said Nick. Come master Frankford, who shall take my part. Marry that will I sweet wife. No by my faith sir, when you are together I sit out, it must be Mistress Frankford and I, or else it is no match. I do not like that match. You have no reason marry knowing all. 'tis no great matter neither, come M. Cranwell shall you and I take them up? At your pleasure sir. I must look to you M. Wendol, for you will be playing false, nay so will my wife to. ay, I will be sworn she will. Let them that are taken playing false forfeit the set. Content; It shall go hard but I'll take you. Gentlemen what shall our game be? master Frankford you play best at Noddy, you shall not find it so: Indeed you shall not? I can play at nothing so well as double ruff.
