I am of Master doctor's resolution too, Sir: if you made not that demand, ante nuptias. O my heart! wilt thou break? wilt thou break? this is worst of all worst worsts! that Hell could have devised! Marry a Whore! and so much noise! Come, I see now plain confederacy in this Doctor, and this Parson, to abuse a Gentleman. You study his affliction. I pray be gone companions. And Gentlemen, I begin to suspect you for having parts with 'em. Sir, will it please you hear me? O, do not talk to me, take not from me the pleasure of dying in silence, Nephew. Sir, I must speak to you. I have been long your poor despised Kinsman, and many a hard thought has strengthened you against me: but now it shall appear if either I love you or your peace, and prefer them to all the World beside. I will not be long or grievous to you, Sir. If I free you of this unhappy match absolutely, and instantly after all this trouble, and almost in your despair, now— (It cannot be.) Sir, that you be never troubled with a murmur of it more, what shall I hope for, or deserve of you? O, what thou wilt, Nephew! thou shalt deserve me, and have me. Shall I have your favour perfect to me, and love hereafter? That, and any thing beside. Make thine own conditions. My whole estate is thine. Manage it, I will become thy Ward. Nay, Sir, I will not be so unreasonable. Will Sir Dauphine be mine enemy too? You know, I have been a long Suitor to you, Uncle, that out of your estate, which is fifteen hundred a year, you would allow me but five hundred during life, and assure the rest upon me after: to which I have often, by myself and friends tendered you a writing to sign, which you would never consent, or incline too. If you please to effect it now— Thou shalt have it, Nephew. I will do it, and more. If I quit you not presently? and forever of this cumber, you shall have power instantly, afore all these, to revoke your act, and I will become, whose Slave you will give me to, forever. Where is the Writing? I will seal to it, that, or to a Blank, and write thine own conditions. O me, most unfortunate wretched Gentlewoman! Will Sir Dauphine do this? Good Sir, have some compassion on me. O, my Nephew knows you belike: away Crocodile. He does it not sure, without good ground. Here, Sir. Come Nephew: give me the Pen. I will subscribe to any thing, and seal to what thou wilt, for my deliverance. Thou art my restorer. Here, I deliver it thee as my Deed. If there be a word in it lacking, or writ with false Orthography, I protest before— I will not take the advantage.
