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.

In mine eyes this is the proprest wench;

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.

MOUNTNEY.

VALINGFORD.
Sir Thomas Goddard hight this reverent man
Famed for his vertues, and his good success:
Whose fame hath been renowmed through the world.
WILLIAM.
Sir Thomas Goddard, welcome to thy Prince;
And, fair Em, frolic with thy good father;
As glad am I to find Sir Thomas Goddard,
As good Sir Edmund Treford, on the plains:
He like a sheepheard, and thou our country Miller.
