"The Scornful Lady"


_Lady._ But had I known this, had I but surmiz'd it, you should have
hunted three trains more, before you had come to th' course, you should
have hankt o'th' bridle, Sir, i'faith.
_El. Lo._ I knew it, and min'd with you, and so blew you up.
Now you may see the Gentlewoman: stand close.
_Enter_ Welford, _and_ Martha.
_Mar._ For Gods sake Sir, be private in this business,
You have undone me else. O God, what have I done?
_Wel._ No harm I warrant thee.
_Mar._ How shall I look upon my friends again?
With what face?
_Wel._ Why e'ne with that: 'tis a good one, thou canst not find a better:
look upon all the faces thou shall see there, and you shall find 'em
smooth still, fair still, sweet still, and to your thinking honest; those
have done as much as you have yet, or dare doe Mistris, and yet they keep
no stir.
_Mar._ Good Sir goe in, and put your womans cloaths on:
If you be seen thus, I am lost for ever.
_Wel._ I'le watch you for that Mistris: I am no fool, here will I tarry
till the house be up and witness with me.
_Mar._ Good dear friend goe in.
_Wel._ To bed again if you please, else I am fixt here till there be
notice taken what I am, and what I have done: if you could juggle me into
my woman-hood again, and so cog me out of your company, all this would be
forsworn, and I again an _asinego_, as your Sister left me.
