Cour. Do but try me, and if ever I prove recreant more, let me be beaten and used like a dog in good earnest.

Sylv. Promise to grant me but one request, and it shall be done.

Cour. Hear me but swear.

Cour. If I don't, hang me up in that wench's old garters.

Sylv. See, sir, you have your freedom. [Unbinds him.

Cour. Well, now name the price; what I must pay for't?

Sylv. You know, sir, considering our small acquaintance, you have been pleased to talk to me very freely of love-matters.
