Fr:Thats a certaine text.
Par:What come ye to confession to the Fryer.
Iu:To tell you that were to confesse to you.
Par:Do not deny to him that you loue me.
2320Iul:I will confesse to you that I loue him,
Par:So I am sure you will that you loue me.
Iu:And if I doe, it wilbe of more price,
Being spoke behinde your backe, than to your face.
Par:Poore soule thy face is much abus'd with teares.
2325Iu:The teares haue got small victory by that,
For it was bad enough before their spite.

And what I spake I spake it to my face.

Or shall I come to you at euening Masse?

Par:God sheild I should disturbe deuotion,
Iuliet farwell, and keep this holy kisse.
