Sir Amor. It is; kiss her, fool.

Herod. You may kiss her now, she is married.

Sir Amor. So he might ha’ done before.

Herod. Good fool, be acquainted with this lady too; she’s of a very honest nature, I assure thee.

Don. I easily believe you, sir, for she hath a very vile[276] face, I assure you.    70

Gar. But what strange things does thy almanack speak of, good fool?

Don. That this year no child shall be begotten but shall have a true father.

Sir Amor. That’s good news, i’faith. I am glad I got my wife with child this year.
