1243979Nur: Marry farewell. Pray what saucie merchant was

1244980this that was so full of his roperipe?

1245981Rom: A gentleman Nurse that loues to heare himselfe

1246982talke, and will speake more in an houre than hee will stand

1247983to in a month.

1248984Nur: If hee stand to anie thing against mee, Ile take

1249985him downe if he were lustier than he is: if I cannot take him

1250986downe, Ile finde them that shall: I am none of his flurt-

1251987gills,I am none of his skaines mates.

1252989And thou like a knaue must stand by, and see euerie Iacke

1253990vse me at his pleasure.

1254991Pet: I see no bodie vse you at his pleasure, if I had, I

12691004Nur: Goodheart: yfaith Ile tell her so: oh she will be

12701005a ioyfull woman.

12711006Rom: Why, what wilt thou tell her?

12731007Nur: That you doo protest: which (as I take it) is a

12741008Gentlemanlike proffer.

12751009Rom: Bid her get leaue to morrow morning
