Marry sir, we had good sport today with Snail the chimney-sweeper. Had you so sir? That ever was. Lord that I had been amongst you, but what more of him sir? Marry sir, we were thinking how we might merrily deceive our company that is to come, if we could have gotten him some magnificoes suit of the City, whom for his little stature and lean face he might resemble, that in that habit he might have stolen some kind favours from the Ladies, to make him amends and please him for the anger we put him in. It would have made excellent merriment. You are his best Master sir, and if it please you to send me for him by some token, I'll go for him; otherwise he will not come to these Gentlemen. Shall he come Gentlemen? If you please sir. Why then hark thee Angelo; not for the world. Think you me such an Ass sir? Shall he have one of my little brother's suits, and come in amongst the Dames for him? If you could, it would fit him exceedingly. Much; now laugh Angelo: what Gentleman was that I spied aloft with my daughter think'st thou? I know not sir; I beseech your Worship who was it? Frank, in man's apparel Angelo. O wonderful. We cannot invent a token, for my love Angelo. O excellent. We will hit it anon Gentlemen. At your leisure sir. The swaggerer her husband, had note of it by his Page, and yet the same Page hath persuaded him, since that 'twas but a gullery. 'Tis a notable crack; and his Master hath such a pure belief in his wife, that he's apt to believe any good of her. True Angelo, enough for this time; thou shalt make as if thou went'st for Snail, and return without him, saying thou canst not find him. Agreed sir. Now Gentlemen, we have devised a wile to bring Snail amongst us, and I have given Angelo order for a suit for him, that is my little brothers, and him he shall counterfeit; go Angelo seek him out. I will sir. Thank you for this good signor Lorenzo. It will quicken the company well. For their sakes and yours, I have done it Gentlemen; and see the fair flock come upon us. Welcome fair Ladies, but especially you Lady, that are so mere a stranger, signor Lorenzo you know young Leonoro? Very well sir, a gallant spark. And I think you know his father. Know him? i'faith sir there was a reveler, I shall never see man do his lofty tricks like him while I live. This Gentlewoman is his Niece sir. His Niece? she shall do herself wrong not to be acquainted with her dear uncles companion: You know not this Gentlewoman sir? Not very well sir indeed, but entertainment must be given, mercy Frank for thy man's apparel, a plague of all swaggering husbands. Nay I must forth i'faith, signor Honorio, this is for your sake, am I not a kind help to your entertainment?
