Peace, see they come. I marry, here's a Lady now will wear her own hair. Nay now no further protestations, You have said enough to make me new, or ruin me, And this my spirit, bids me prophesy If you repent, as love might be over sated In its best desires; and any cross event Should fall upon this your unequal choice, Yours is the crime, your handmaid must be blameless, Since you have sought what I have not desired, And yet, you may avoid the fatal doom (If any such there be) by throwing back Your achieved vassal. Teach me no error. I will not learn it, sweetest, if you do. Speak nothing now but of those holy rites Whose sacred hands must guide us to the path Of your desired joys. Here's all the bar; When these have given consent I am your own. It shall be done in this acknowledgement. Father and mother let me but call you so. And brother eke also. Yes brother too, By this I claim them all, your daughter makes Me your son, and yours. And my brother. I'll not forget that neither. If you do, I will forget to call your Lady Sister. Sir, I have questioned all the will in me, And find it now resolved unto your wish. You have my good will too brother. Mine is wrought out through rocks of doubt and scare, She is your own, I send her pilots like Into an argosy beyond her steerage. I'll hand the helm with her, and there abide Safety, or drowning. She will be hated when the disdainful brows Of noble greatness shall be shot against her, The scorns and flouts she shall endure, will be Fa lesse content, then is the humble quiet she enioyes. All those I will rebuke, and if she blush, The beauty then will check their painted cheeks With a rebounding shame upon themselves, Let not more obstacles be mentioned, Only let privacy protect us yet Although we scant the full solemnity Due to thy wishes; Hymen which afterward. Shall dare the largest blazon. Call it mine Sir, And then the smallest ceremony may serve. All wants, are only wanting unto you To give your greatness the due ornaments. Shall your kind pains provide us of a Priest, Whom my instructions shall direct you to. Shall I? why who am I pray? Yes, good brother do. O you teach me sweet; yes good brother do. O as a brother I will, I perceive these great men Are some what forgetful of their poor kindred. A friar in Saint Austin's Monastery Ask for one Benedick, my commends to him Will bring him with thee, he's prepared for it. I'll be the clerk myself for the groat's sake, Which you know will arise out of the two and twenty. Tush, I'll treble that wages.
