Grieve not sweet Count: comfort your spirits, you have a son a noble gentleman, he stands in the face of honour: For his safety let that be no question. I am master of my fortune, and he shall share with me. Farewell my honourable Lord. Ladies once more adieu, for yourself madam you are a most rare creature, I tell you so, be not proud of it, I love you: come Lord Paulo to horse. Adieu good signor Francesco: farewell sister. How shall we rid him hence. Why well enough? sweet signor Maximilian. I have some small occasion to stay: If it may please you but take horse afore I'll over take you, ere your troops be ranged. Your motion hath taste well: Lord Ferneze I go Now if my love fair Rachel, were so happy, But to look forth. See fortune doth me grace. Before I can demand? how now love. Where is your father? Gone abroad my Lord: That's well, ay but I fear he'll presently return, Are you now going my most honoured Lord? I my sweet Rachel. Before God, she is a sweet wench. Rachel I hope I shall not need to urge, The sacred purity of our effects, As if it hung in trial or suspense: Since in our hearts, and by our mutual vows, It is confirmed and sealed in sight of heaven. Nay do not weep, why start you? fear not, Love. Your father cannot be returned so soon, I prithee do not look so heavily Thou shalt want nothing No is your presence nothing, I shall want that, and wanting that, want all For that is all to me. Content thee sweet I have Made choice here of a constant friend This gentleman? one, whose zealous love I do repose more, than on all the world, Thy beauteous self excepted: and to him, Have I committed my dear care of thee, As to my genius, or my other soul. Receive high gentle love and what defects, My absence proves, his presence shall supply. The time is envious of our longer stay. Farewell dear Rachel. Most dear Lord, adieu, Heaven and honour crown your deeds, and you, Faith tell me Angelio how dost thou like her? Troth well my Lord, but shall I speak my mind. I prithee do. She is derived too meanly to be wife To such a noble person, in my judgement. Nay then thy judgement is to mean, I see: Didst thou near read in difference of good 'tis more to shine in virtue then in blood. Come you are so sententious my Lord. Here comes her father. How dost thou good Iaques? God save thee Iaques. What should this mean? Rachel open the door. 'sblood how the poor slave looks, as though He had been haunted by the spirit Lar, Or seen the ghost of some great Satrap. In an unsavoury sheet.

Your motion hath taſt wel: Lord Ferneze I go Now if my loue faire Rachel, were ſo happy, But to looke forth. See fortune doth me grace. Before I can demaund? how now loue. Where is your father? Gone abroad my Lord: Thats well, I but I feare heele preſently returne, Are you now going my moſt honored Lord? I my ſweet Rachel. Before God, ſhe is a ſweet wench.
