Elner. 
Mine, Manville? thou never shalt be mine. 
I so detest thy villainy,
That whilest I live I will abhor thy company.

Manville. 
Is it come to this?  Of late I had choice of twain,
On either side, to have me to her husband,
And now am utterly rejected of them both.

Valingford. 
My Lord, this gentleman, when time was,
Stood some-thing in our light,
And now I think it not amiss
To laugh at him that sometime scorned at us.

Mountney. 
Content my Lord, invent the form.

Valingford. 
Then thus.—­

William. 
I see that women are not general evils,
Blanch is fair:  Methinks I see in her
A modest countenance, a heavenly blush. 
Zweno, receive a reconciled for,
Not as thy friend, but as thy son in law,
If so that thou be thus content.

Zweno. 
I joy to see your grace so tractable. 
Here, take my daughter Blanch;
And after my decease the Denmark crown.

William. 
Now, sir, how stands the case with you?

Manville. 
I partly am persuaded as your grace is,
My lord, he is best at ease that medleth least.

Valingford. 
Sir, may a man
Be so bold as to crave a word with you?

Manville. 
Yea, two or three:  what are they?

Valingford. 
I say, this maid will have thee to her husband.

Mountney. 
And I say this:  and thereof will I lay
An hundred pound.

Valingford. 
And I say this:  whereon I will lay as much.

Manville. 
And I say neither:  what say you to that?

Mountney. 
If that be true, then are we both deceived.

Manville. 
Why, it is true, and you are both deceived.

Marques. 
In mine eyes this is the proprest wench;
Might I advise thee, take her unto thy wife.

Zweno. 
It seems to me, she hath refused him.

Marques. 
Why, theres the spite.

Zweno. 
If one refuse him, yet may he have the other.

Marques. 
He will ask but her good will, and all her friends.

Zweno. 
Might I advise thee, let them both alone.

Manville. 
Yea, thats the course, and thereon will I stand. 
Such idle love hencefoorth I will detest.

Valingford. 
The Fox will eat no grapes, and why?

Mountney. 
I know full well, because they hand too high.

William. 
And may it be a Millers daughter by her birth? 
I cannot think but she is better borne.

Valingford. 
Sir Thomas Goddard hight this reverent man
Famed for his vertues, and his good success: 
Whose fame hath been renowmed through the world.
