Chap. I will; but if it ever 'scape you—

Cham. It never shall.

Chap. Swear then.

Cham. I do, by all
That's dear to me, by the honour of my name,
And by that Power I serve, it never shall.

Chap. Then this good day, when all the house was busy,
When mirth and kind rejoicing filled each room,
As I was walking in the grove I met them.

Cham. What, met them in the grove together? tell me,
How? walking, standing, sitting, lying? ha!

Chap. I, by their own appointment, met them there;
Received their marriage-vows, and joined their hands.

Cham. How! married!

Chap. Yes, sir.

Cham. Then my soul's at peace:
But why would you delay so long to give it?
