Why, has he not done it? Done it, not a verse by this hand. O in dichus illis, O preposterous, well come be blithe, the best judge of them al is sometimes dull, fellow Onion pardon mine juggle: he is a man, has imperfections and declinations, as other men have, his mass sometimes cannot carnet nor prognosticate and come of, as it should, no matter, I'll hammer our a paraphrase for thee myself. No sweet juniper, no danger doth breed delay, love makes me choleric I can bear no longer. Not bear? what my mad Meridian slave? not be are? what? Cupid's burden: 'tis to heavy, to tolerable, and as for the handkerchief and the posy: I will not trouble thee: but if thou wilt go with me into her father's backside, old Iaques backside, and speak for me to Rachel, I will not being ratitude, the old man is abroad and all. Art thou sure on't. As sure as an obligation. Let's away then, come we spend time in a vain circumference, trade I cashier thee till tomorrow, fellow Onion for thy sake I finish this workaday. God a mercy, and for thy sake I'll at any time make a holiday. Nay I prithee Rachel, I come to comfort thee, Be not so sad. O signor Angelo, No comfort but his presence can remove, This sadness from my heart. Nay then you're fond, And want that strength of judgement and election, That should be attendent on your years and form, Will you, because your Lord is taken prisoner, Blubber and weep and keep a peevish stir, As though you would turn turtle with the news, Come, come, be wise. 'sblood say your Lord should die: And you go mar your face as you begin, What would you do trow? who would care for you; But this it is, when nature will bestow Her gifts on such as know not how to use them, You shall have some that had they but one quarter Of your fair beauty? they would make it show A little otherwise than you do this, Or they would see the painter twice an hour, And I commend them I, that can use art, With such judicial practice. You talk idly, If this be your best comfort keep it still, My senses cannot feed on such sour cates. And why sweet heart. Nay leave good signor. Come I have sweeter viands yet in store. I in any case mistress Rachel. Rachel? God's pity signor Angelo, I hear my father, away for God's sake. 'sblood, I am betwixt, I think, this is twice now, I have been served thus. Pray God he meet him not. O brave? she's yonder, O terrible she's gone. Yea? so nimble in your dilemmas, and your hyperboles Hay my love? O my love, at the first sight: By the mass. O how she scudded, O sweet scud, how she tripped, O delicate trip and go.
