And carry it sweetly, and deliverly

Or scandall to the Ladies; and be sure

And when you barke, doe it with judgement.

This is that scornefull peece, that scurvy hilding,
That gave her promise faithfully, she would be here,
Cicely the Sempsters daughter:
The next gloves that I give her shall be dog skin;
Nay and she faile me once--you can tell, Arcas,
She swore by wine and bread, she would not breake.
