'tis strange. As I walk I'll tell you more. Pray you a word Sir, And then I will put on. I have one boon more. What is't? speak freely. Thus then, as I am Master Of your Shop, and wares, pray you help me to some trucking With your last she customer, though she crack my best piece I will endure it with patience. Leave your prating. I may, you have been doing, we will do too. I am amazed, yet will nor blame, nor chide you, Till you inform me further. Yet must say They steer not the right course, nor traffic well, That seek a passage to reach Heaven, through Hell. When said he, he would come again? He swore, Short Minutes should be tedious Ages to him, Until the tender of his second service, So much he seemed transported with the first. I am sure I was. I charge thee Manto tell me By all my favours, and my bounties truly Whether thou art a Virgin, or like me Hast forfeited that name. A Virgin madam? At my years being a waiting-woman, and in Court to? That were miraculous. I so long since lost That barren burden, I almost forget That ever I was one. And could thy friends Read in thy face, thy maidenhood gone, that thou Hadst parted with it? Noah indeed. I passed For currant many years after, till by fortune, Long and continued practice in the sport Blew up my deck, a husband then was found out By my indulgent father, and to the world All was made whole again. What need you fear then That at your pleasure may repair your honour Durst any envious, or malicious tongue, Presume to taint it? How now? Madam, the bassa Humbly desires access. If it had been My neat Italian, thou hadst met my wishes. Tell him we would be private. So I did, But he is much importunate. Best dispatch him His lingering here else will deter the other, From making his approach. His entertainment Shall not invite a second visit, go Say we are pleased. All happiness. be sudden 'twas saucy rudeness in you sir to press On my retirements, but ridiculous folly To waste the time that might be better spent In complemental wishes. There's a coolling For his hot encounter. Come you here to stare? If you have lost your tongue, and use of speech, Resign your government, there's a mutes place void In my uncle's Court I hear, and you may work me To write for your preferment. This is strange! I know not Madam, what neglect of mine Has called this scorn upon me. To the purpose My will's a reason, and we stand not bound To yield account to you. Not of your angers, But with erected ears I should hear from you The story of your good opinion of me confirmed by love, and favours.
