'Twas your fault then, For I have noted a most faithful league Betwixt him and his barber now of late, And all the world may see, he does not leave One hair on his smooth chin, as who should say, His hapless love was gone against the hair. 'sblood & these rogues knew how I was deceived, They'd stout me into motley, by this light. Well sir, I ever thought you'd the best wit Of any man in Venice next mine own, But now I'll lay the bucklers at your feet, A pox upon thee, tame your bald hewed tongue, Or by the Lord of heaven I'll pull it out. O my sweet friend, come I'll know more of this, And tell thee all our fortune, hence good Angelo. O, if this man had patience to his brain, A man might load him till he smart again. Patience worthy friend, he knows you love him for his knavish wit. THou shalt not stay sweet Temperance, tell us the manner of our war and we'll leave thee presently. Why that perl's man Lodowick, according to your appointment was jump at three with me, just, been full at your hour; Muffled as I willed you, e'en your fashion and your very leg for all the earth, and followed me in so gingerly, that by my troth I must needs say, he was worthy the pleasuring; but in what a taking was I when I perceived his voice? & when I saw my mistress & he together by the ears? What did thy mistress fight with him? O king a heaven, she ran upon his naked weapon the most finely that ever lived, and I ran away in a swoon for fear. Has she a good courage? It seems she is too honest for our companies, a little more good Temperance. And when he saw me, he called me punk, and pander, and doxy, & the vilest nicknames as if I had been an errand naughty-pack. 'Tis no matter Temperance, he's known and thou art known. I thank heaven for it, and there's all indeed, I can stay no longer. Farewell honest Temperance: how was it possible, Lodovico should fit all these circumstances without the confederacy and treachery of this beldame? well Lodovico must satisfy this doubt when I see him. That will be at the May night show at signor Honorio's. I would not meet him there, I shall offend him, but there I must needs be, and have thee disguised like a woman. Me sir? No remedy, the Captain Quintilliano and I have devised it to gull his Lieutenant: for thou shalt dance with him, we will thrust him upon thee, and then for his courting and gifts, which we will tell him he must win thee withal, I hope thou wilt have wit enough to receive the tone, and pay him again with the tother, come Lionell let me see how naturally thou canst play the woman. Better then you think for.

'Twas your fault then, For I haue noted a most faithfull league Betwixt him and his barber now of late, And all the world may see, he does not leaue One haire on his smooth chinn, as who should say, His haplesse loue was gone against the hayre. S'bloud & these rogues knew how I was deceiu'd, They'd stout me into motley, by this light.
