Likewise to you sir. Alas poor uncle, I have monstrously abused him; and yet marvelous worthy, for he disparageth the whole blood of us; and I wish all such old sheepbiters might always dip their fingers in such sauce to their mutton; but thus will he presently be safe; for by this he is near his sweet heart's house, where he is like to be entertained with worse cheer than we made him. Quintilliano is now carousing in the emperors head, while his own head buds horns to carouse in; and in the mean time will my amorous friend and I, make both their absences shoeing horns to draw on the presence of Aemilia. WHat says your worship now? Do you not walk invisible, all your ancient acquaintance, your own nephew to talk with you and never discover you? But Angelo, a villainous fear shook me the whiles I swear, for still I was afraid my tongue would have liked away the soot of my face, and bewrayed me; but Snail, hitherto thy rusty shell has protected me: persever till I have yonder house a my head, hold in thy horns, till they look out of Quintiliano's forehead: for an old man to make a young man cuckold, is one of Hercules' labours. That was the cleansing of other men's stables. To make youth rampant in age, and age passant in youth, to take a man down at his own weapon; to call back time in one, and thrust him headlong upon another. Now your worship is Oracle to your own miracles; how you shine in this smoky cloud? which you make the golden net to embrace Venus, you'ave passed the pikes i'faith and all the jails of the love-god swarm in yonder house, to salute your recovery. Well Angelo, I tell thee, now we are past the danger, I would not for 40 crowns but have heard, what I have heard. True sir, now you know what the world thinks on you, 'tis not possible for a great man, that shines always in his greatness, to know himself; but O twice young Leander, see where your Hero stands with torch of her beauty to direct you to her tower, advance your sweet note, & upon her. Chimney sweep, work for chimney sweep. Come in chimney sweeper. O Angelo. Why now sir thine Angelo is your good Angel; enter and prosper, and when you are in the midst of your happiness, think of him that preferred you. Angelo, give him not too much time with me, for fear of the worst, but go presently to the back gate, and use my husband's knock, then will I presently thrust him into my coalhouse: and there shall the old fleshmonger fast for his iniquity. Well said mine own Frank i'faith, we shall trim him betwixt us, I for the most slovenly case in the town; she, for the most sluttish place in the house: Never was old horseman so notoriously ridden; well, I will presently knock him into the coalhouse, and then haste to Lodovico, to know when he shall be released.

Likewise to you sir. Alas poore vncle, I haue monstrously abused him; and yet maruellous worthie, for he disparageth the whole bloud of vs; and I wish all such old sheepebiters might alwaies dippe their fingers in such sauce to their mutton; but thus will he presently bee safe; for by this hee is neere his sweete hearts house, where he is like to be entertain'd with worse cheere then we made him. Quintilliano is now carousing in the Emperours head, while his owne head buddes hornes to carouse in; and in the meane time will my amorous friend and I, make both their absences shooing hornes to draw on the presence of Aemilia. VVHat sayes your worship now? Do you not walke inuisible, all your ancient acquaintance, your owne nephew to talke with you and neuer discouer you? But Angelo, a villanous feare shooke me the whiles I sweare, for still I was afraid my tongue would haue likt away the soote of my face, and bewrayed me; but Snayle, hitherto thy rustie shell has protected me: perseuer till I haue yonder house a my head, hold in thy hornes, till they looke out of Quintillianoes forehead: for an old man to make a yong man cuckold, is one of Hercules labours. That was the cleansing of other mens stables. To make youth rampant in age, and age passant in youth, to take a man downe at his owne weapon; to call backe time in one, and thrust him headlong vpon another. Now your worship is Oracle to your owne miracles; how you shine in this smoaky cloud? which you make the golden net to embrace Venus, y'aue past the pikes yfaith and all the Iayles of the loue-god swarme in yonder house, to salute your recouery. Wel Angelo, I tell thee, now we are past the danger, I would not for 40 crowns but haue heard, what I haue heard. True sir, now you know what the world thinks on you, 'tis not possible for a great man, that shines alwaies in his greatnesse, to know himselfe; but O twice yong Leander, see where your Hero stands with torch of her beauty to direct you to her tower, aduance your sweet note, & vpon her. Chimney sweepe, worke for chimney sweepe. Come in chimney sweeper. O Angelo. Why now sir thine Angelo is your good Angell; enter and prosper, and when you are in the mid'st of your happinesse, thinke of him that prefer'd you. Angelo, giue him not too much time with me, for feare of the worst, but goe presently to the backe gate, and vse my husbands knocke, then will I presently thrust him into my cole-house: and there shall the old flesh-monger fast for his iniquity. Well said mine owne Franke yfaith, we shall trim him betwixt vs, I for the most slouenly case in the towne; shee, for the most sluttish place in the house: Neuer was old horse-man so notoriously ridden; well, I will presently knocke him into the cole-house, and then haste to Lodouico, to know when he shall be releast.
