- Enough of this. I pray thee, hold thy peace.
- ...And, pretty fool, it stinted and said “Ay.”
- “Yea,” quoth my husband. “Fall’st upon thy face?Thou wilt fall backward when thou comest to age,Wilt thou not, Jule?” It stinted and said “Ay.”
- Yes, madam, yet I cannot choose but laugh To think it should leave crying and say “Ay.”
- And yet, I warrant, it had upon its browA bump as big as a young cock’rel’s stone,A perilous knock, and it cried bitterly.
- And stint thou, too, I pray thee, nurse, say I.
- Peace. I have done. God mark thee to his grace,Thou wast the prettiest babe that e’er I nursed.An I might live to see thee married once,I have my wish.

- It is an honor that I dream not of.

- Well, think of marriage now. Younger than youHere in Verona, ladies of esteem,Are made already mothers.

- To beautify him only lacks a cover.This precious book of love, this unbound lover,Find written in the margent of his eyes.And what obscured in this fair volume liesAnd see how one another lends content,Examine every married lineamentAnd find delight writ there with beauty’s pen.Read o’er the volume of young Paris’ face,This night you shall behold him at our feast.What say you? Can you love the gentleman?
- The fish lives in the sea, and ’tis much prideFor fair without the fair within to hide.That book in many’s eyes doth share the gloryThat in gold clasps locks in the golden story.So shall you share all that he doth possessBy having him, making yourself no less.
- I’ll look to like, if looking liking move.But no more deep will I endart mine eyeThan your consent gives strength to make it fly.
