Well, I will come for her potion Sir, and till then, God take you to his mercy. Adieu my good son in law, I'll not interrupt her, let her meditate a my late motion. 'Tis strange to see the impiety of parents, Both privileged by custom, and professed, The holy institution of heaven; Ordaining marriage for proportioned minds, For our chief human comforts; and t'increase The loved images of God in men: Is now perverted to th'increase of wealth; We must bring riches forth, and like the cuckoo Hatch others' eggs; join house to house, in choices Fit timber-logs and stones, not men and women: Ay me, here's one I must shun, would embrace. O stay and hear me speak or see me die. How now? what have we here? what a loathsome creature man is being drunk: Is it not pity to see a man of good hope, a toward Scholar, writes a theme well, scans a verse very well, and likely in time to make a proper man, a good leg, specially in a boot, valiant, well spoken, and in a word, what not? and yet all this overthrown as you see, drowned, quite drowned in a quart pot. O these same wicked healths, breed monstrous diseases. Aurelio, speak man, Aurelio? Pray heaven all be well. O speak, if any spark of speech remain. It is thy dear Aemilia that calls. Well, well, it becomes not a friend to touch the deadly wounds of his friend with a smiling countenance. Touch thee? 'sblood I could find in my heart to beat thee; up in a fools name, up: what a Scene of foppery have we here? Prithee have done. Up cuckoo Cupid's bird, or by this light I'll fetch thy father to thee. Good Lodovico, if thou lov'st me, leave me; thou com'st to counsel me from that, which is joined with my soul in eternity: I must and will do what I do. Do so then, and I protest thou shalt never lick thy lips after my Kinswoman, while thou liv'st: I had thought to have spoken for thee, if thou hadst taken a manly course with her: but to fold up thyself like an urchin, and lie a calving to bring forth a husband: I am ashamed to think on't: 'sblood I have heard of wenches that have been won with singing and dancing, and some with riding, but never heard of any that was won with tumbling in my life. If thou knew'st how vain thou seem'st. I do it of purpose, to show how vain I hold thy disease, S'hart art thou the first that has shot at a wench's heart and mist it? must that shot that missed her wound thee? let her shake her heels in a shrew's name: were she my cousin a thousand times, and if I were as thee, I would make her shake her heels too, afore I would shake mine thus. O vanity, vanity.
