Cel. True Lady such a kindness, What shall that kindness be now?
Leu. A witty Lady, Learn little ones, learn.
Cel. Say it be all his favour.
Leu. And a sweet saying ’tis.
Cel. And I grow peevish?
Leu. You must not be negleftfull.
Cel. There’s the matter, There’s the main doctrine now, and I may miss it, Or a kind handsom Gentleman?
Leu. You say well.
Cel. They’I count us basely bred.
Leu. Not freely nurtur’d.
Cel. I’le take thy counsel.
Leu. ’Tis an excellent woman.
Cel. I find a notable volum here, a learned
one;
Which way? for I would fain be in my chamber;
In truth sweet Ladies, I grow weary; fie,
How hot the air beats on me!
Lady. This way Madam.
Cel. Now by mine honour, I grow wondrous faint too.
Leu. Your fans sweet Gentlewomen, your fans.
Cel. Since I am fool’d, I’le make my self some sport, though I pay dear for’t. [Ex.
Men. You see now what a manner of woman she is Sir.
Ant. Thou art an ass.
Men. Is this a fit love for the Prince:
Ant. A coxcombe:
Now by my crown a daintie wench, a sharp wench,
And/a matchless Spirit: how she jeer’d
’em?
How carelesly she scoff’d ’em? use her
nobly;
I would I had not seen her: wait anon,
And then you shall have more to trade upon. [Exeunt.
SCENA V.
Enter Leontius, and the 2 Gentlemen.
Leo. We must keep a round, and a strong watch to night, The Prince will not charge the Enemy till the morning: But for the trick I told ye for this Rascal, This rogue, that health and strong heart makes a coward.
1 Gent. I, if it take.
Leo. Ne’re fear it, the Prince has

And if he let it fall, I must not know it;
He will suspecl: me presently: but you two
May help the plough.
2 Gent. That he is sick again.
Leo. Extreamly sick: his disease grown incurable, Never yet found, nor touch’d at.
Enter Lieutenant.
2 Gent. Well, we have it, And here he comes.
Leo. The Prince has been upon him, What a flatten face he has now? it takes, believe it; How like an Ass he looks?
Lieu. I feel no great pain, At least, I think I do not; yet I feel sensibly I grow extreamly faint: how cold I sweat now!
Leo. So, so, so.
Lieu. And now ’tis ev’n too
true, I feel a pricking,
A pricking, a strange pricking: how it tingles!
And as it were a stitch too: the Prince told
me,
And every one cri’d out I was a dead man;
I had thought I had been as well—
