Yes marry Gentlemen, I will, I will. Alvaro to your task, fall to your task, I'll bear away those three, who being here, Would set my Daughters on a merry pin: Then cheerly try your lucks; but speak, and speed, For you alone (say I) shall do the deed. Hear you M. Mouse, did you dine today at Paul's with the rest of the Gentlemen there? No sir, I am yet undined. methinks you should have a reasonable good stomach then by this time, as for me I can sell nothing within me from my mouth to my Codpiece but all Empty, wherefore I think a piece of wisdom to go in and see what Maudlin hath provided for our Dinner master Mouse will you go in? With as good a stomach and desire as yourself. Let's pass in then Han seg you Dochtor, vor vat cause, voer why bede also much grooterlie strange, Ic seg you wat, if datt ghy speak to me, is datt ghy love me. Is't that I care not for you, be't that your breath stinks, if that your breath stinks not, you must learn sweeter English or I shall never understand your suit. pardon moy Madame. With all my heart so you offend no more. Is dat an offence to be amorous di one bell Gentlewoman. ay sir see your bell Gentlewoman cannot be amorous of you. Then if I were as that bell Gentlewoman's lover, I would trouble her no further, nor be amorous any longer. madonna yet de Belleza of de face beauty deform of all de Corpo may be such datt no periculo, nor all de mal shaunce, can make him leave her dulce visage. But signior Alvaro if the periculo or mal shaunce were such, that she should love and live with another, than the dulce visage must be left in spite of the lovers teeth, whilst he may whine at his own ill fortune. Datts waer matresse, for it is untrue saying, they wint he taught day verleift lie scrat sin gatt. And I think to are like to scratch there but never to claw any of my sister's love away. Dan sal your sistre do 'gainst her vaders will, or your vader segt dat ick sal heb her vor mine wife. I think not so sir, for I never heard him say so, but I'll go in and ask him if his meaning be so. Hark sister signior Alvaro sayth, that I am the fairest of all us three, Believe him not for he'll tell any lie. If so he thinks thou mayst be pleased thereby, Come go with me and near stand prating here, I have a jest to tell thee in thine ear, Shall make you laugh: come let your signior stand, I know there's not a Wench in all this Town, Scoffs at him more, or loves him less than thou. Master Vandal, as much I say for you; If needs you marry with an English Lass, Woe her in English, or she'll call you Ass.

Aluaro to your taske, fall to your taske, Ile beare away thoſe three, who being heere, Would ſet my Daughters on a merry pin: Then chearely try your luckes; but ſpeake, and ſpeed, For you alone (ſay I) ſhall doe the deed. Heare you M. Mouſe, did you dine to day at Paules with the reſt of the Gentlemen there? No ſir, I am yet vndined. Mee thinkes you ſhould haue a reaſonable good ſtomacke then by this time, as for me I can ſell nothinge within me from my mouth to my Cod-peece but all Emptie, wherefore I thinke a peece of wiſdome to goe in and ſee what Maudelin hath prouided for our Dinner maiſter Mouſe will you goe in?

Madona yet de Belleza of de face beutie deforme of all de Corpo may be ſuch datt no perriculo, nor all de mal ſhaunce, can make him leaue hir dulce viſage. But ſignor Aluaro if the periculo or mal ſhaunce were ſutch, that ſhe ſhould loue and liue with an other, then the dulce viſage muſt be lefte in ſpite of the louers teeth, whilſt he may whine at his owne ill fortune.

Harke ſiſter ſignor Aluaro ſayth, that I am the fayreſt of all vs three, Beleeue him not for heele tell any lie. If ſo he thinkes thou mayſt be pleaſd thereby, Come goe with me and neere ſtand pratinge here, I haue a ieſt to tell thee in thine eare, Shall make you laugh: come let your ſignor ſtand, I know there's not a Wench in all this Towne, Scoffes at him more, or loues him leſſe then thou. Maiſter Ʋandalle, as much I ſay for you; If needes you marry with an Engliſh Laſſe, Woe her in Engliſh, or ſheele call you Aſſe.
