ay but who knows if the Devil (God bless us) should be great we', how you would use her? What dost thou take me for a beast, to force her that I would make my wife? Beast Sir; Nay there's no beastliness in it neither, for a man will show like a man in those cases: and beside, you may mar the bed, which everybody will see that comes in; and that I would not for the best gown I shall wear this twelvemonth. Well, to put thee out of that fear, it shall be worth such a gown to thee. I thank you for that Sir, but that's all one, and thus Sir, my old Master Honorio, at two o'clock will be at Tilting, and then will his son signor Aurelio, and his man Angelo, be abroad; at which hour if you will be at the back gate, and muffle yourself handsomely, you may linger there till I call you. I marry Sir, so I may be there long enough. Nay, but two o'clock, now, now is my hour Sir. Very well, and till then farewell. Boy to you heartily. Boy to him indeed if he knew all. I Have provided thee a ladder of ropes, therefore resolve to meet her, go wash thy face, and prepare thyself to die, I'll go make ready the ladder. But when is the happy hour of our meeting? Marry Sir, that's something uncertain, for it depends wholly upon her father's absence, and when that will be God knows: but I doubt not it will happen once within this twelvemonth. 'sounds a twelvemonth. Nay hark you, you are all upon the spur now, but how many lovers have served seven twelvemonths prenticeships, for the freedom of their Mistress favours? notwithstanding to shorten your torments, your man Angelo must be the mean, to draw the lap wing her father from his nest, by this device that I tell you. I did ever dream that once in my life good fortune would warm her cold hand in my naked bosom. And that once is now come, I'll lay hold upon't, i'faith; I have you my little squire, I have you upon mine anvil, upon which I will mallet you and work you; coining crowns, chickens, bracelets, and what not out of you; for procuring you the dear gullage of my sweet heart mistress Francischina. I am glad it rests in my kind servant Angelo. Angelo, well met, it lies in thee now, make me no more thy master, but thy friend, and for ever happy in thy friendship. In what part of me does that lie Sir, that I may pull it out, for you presently? My friend Lodovico here hath told me, what thou revealedst to him today, touching his uncle Lorenzo, and his lovesuit to Francischina. 'slight I told it him in secret sir. And so did I tell it him Angelo, I am a Iew else. It may well be sir, but what of that?
