[Lodovico returns from the shop with a yard-wand and followed by Prentices.

1st Pren. My master is grown valiant.

Cand. I’ll teach you fencing tricks.

Prentices. Rare, rare! a prize![258]

Cand. Marry, my good prentice, nothing but breathe my wife.

Bride. Breathe me with your yard?

Lod. No, he’ll but measure you out, forsooth.
