Gentle Mistress Custance now, good Mistress Custance,
Honey Mistress Custance now, sweet Mistress Custance,
Golden Mistress Custance now, white Mistress Custance,
Silken Mistress Custance now, fair Mistress Custance.
C. Custance. Faith, rather than to marry with such a doltish lout,
I would match myself with a beggar, out of doubt.
M. Merry. Then I can say no more; to speed we are not like,
Except ye rap out a rag of your rhetoric.
C. Custance. Speak not of winning me; for it shall never be so.
