At least prevail upon him to defer
His marriage some few days: meanwhile, I hope,
Something may happen.
Byr. Aye, that something’s nothing.
Char. Byrrhia, what think you? Shall I speak to him?
Byr. Why not? for though you don’t obtain your suit,
He will at least imagine you’re prepar’d
To cuckold him, in case he marries her.
Char. Away, you hang-dog, with your base suspicions!
