I am wronged, and to this company, I make it known by coming of thy daughter: Is my son made her indored husband, shall I Suffer it, call you this courtesy, 'tis simple craft? Cloaked under thy denial, is this well to engraft with us unknown, and so to join younkers to heirs, he is my only all, and married unto thy daughter? Ha, Married? Nurse, how is't within? she's very ill sir, and I fear. That your disguise is known, come juggle not, call you this Nurse? O thou dissembling boy. Are you married? Sir I must needs confess it, he's my husband, & the reason? No matter for the reason, I ha' done, God boy ye, cony-catched by a trick, and so persuaded, good. I am abused. Yes questionless you are, I have all right. You have no wrong sir, I to affirm your word, When I was woman, and from man I should, and now, I trust my shape does challenge but your promise. I played but Iohn come kiss me now says she, I am Tutch your quondam servant sir, thrust out to thrust them in, a lawful marriage is no mockery sir, I counterfeited welch, to join this constering English. What at a gaze sir William? cannot be recalled. No, no, more mischief, nay come all together, welcome. Thank ye sir. My son returned, surrenders to your doom his life, for yours so lately lost, deputed in your daughter, for she is dead sir, buried in the isle of Scilly. Not amiss, what's the next Pagan? all the craft of this is known. Sir had I too hearts to melt this frozen fear, would thaw with passion, the drops distilled from our tormented brain, witnessed by these sailors that interred her, knows how I parted with her when she died. Is mistress Mary dead? She is. Well, shall I have justice for her death? Command it sir. To prison with him them, for she is murdered, Sir cause you knew your rapine and your theft, tied to your runaway legs that clog, you were uncertain of her portion and our love, therefore to rid that fear, you rid me thus of her (to me) most dear, my own, my only eldest of my daughters, oh. I'll be his bale. Sir tell not me of bale, for my assurance pleads in his life, and he shall die. You have no precedent for that. Yes, remember Donningtons man, Grimes, Who for an heir so stolen and married, Was hanged, and the sergeant at arms For assisting them, did lose his place, If this were done, your theft will hardly scape. I thought of that indeed. Murder, murder, murder. Ha, by whom? By this fair counterfeit of husband, here's my witness, and the deputy in such a mischief. Nay then. My wife is made away, poisoned here, and you that should be just are witnesses. We follow, speak, explain this mystery. Your wife sir.
