Michael Perez: 

      She is a goodly woman.

Estifania: 

      She is a mirrour,
      But she is poor, she were for a Princes side else,
      This house she has brought him too as to her own,
      And presuming upon me, and upon my courtesie. 
      Conceive me short, he knows not but she is wealthy,
      Or if he did know otherwise, ’twere all one,
      He is so far gone.

Michael Perez: 

      Forward, she has a rare face.

Estifania: 

      This we must carry with discretion Husband,
      And yield unto her for four daies.

Michael Perez: 

      Yield our house up, our goods and wealth?

Estifania: 

All this is but in seeming, To milk the lover on, do you see this writing, 200_l_ a year when they are married Has she sealed to for our good; the time’s unfit now, I’le shew it you to morrow.

Michael Perez: 

      All the house?

Estifania: 

      All, all, and we’l remove too, to confirm him,
      They’l into th’ country suddenly again
      After they are matcht, and then she’l open to him.

Michael Perez: 

      The whole possession wife? look what you doe,
      A part o’th’ house.

Estifania: 

      No, no, they shall have all,
      And take their pleasure too, ’tis for our ’vantage. 
      Why, what’s four daies? had you a Sister Sir,
      A Niece or Mistris that required this courtesie,
      And should I make a scruple to do you good?

Michael Perez: 

      If easily it would come back.

Estifania: 

      I swear Sir,
      As easily as it came on, is’t not pity
      To let such a Gentlewoman for a little help—­
      You give away no house.

Michael Perez: 

      Clear but that question.

Estifania: 

      I’le put the writings into your hand.

Michael Perez: 

      Well then.

Estifania: 

      And you shall keep them safe.

Michael Perez: 

      I am satisfied; wou’d I had the wench so too.

Estifania: 

      When she has married him,
      So infinite his love is linkt unto her,
      You, I, or any one that helps at this pinch
      May have Heaven knows what.

Michael Perez: 

      I’le remove the goods straight,
      And take some poor house by, ’tis but for four days.

Estifania: 

      I have a poor old friend; there we’l be.

Michael Perez: 

      ’Tis well then.

Estifania: 

      Goe handsom off, and leave the house clear.

Michael Perez: 

      Well.

Estifania: 

      That little stuff we’l use shall follow after;
      And a boy to guide ye, peace and we are made both.
