CLOWN. That's a lie, a would have kill'd me with his pugs-nando.
SEGASTO. This stoutness, Amadine, contents me not.
AMADINE. Then seek another, that may you better please.
MUCEDORUS. Well, Amadine. it only rests in thee
Without delay to make thy choice of three.
There stands Segasto: here a shepherd stands:
There stands the third. Now make thy choice.
CLOWN. A lord at the least I am.
AMADINE. My choice is made; for I will none but thee.
SEGASTO. A worthy mate, no doubt, for such a wife.
MUCEDORUS. And, Amadine, why wilt thou none but me?
I cannot keep thee, as thy father did;
I have no lands for to maintain thy state;
Moreover, if thou mean to be my wife,
Commonly this must be thy use:
To bed at midnight, up at four,
Drudge all day, and trudge from place to place,
Whereby our daily victuals for to win:
And last of all, which is the worst of all,
No princess then, but a plain shepherd's wife.
CLOWN. Then God gi' you good morrow, goody shepherd! [Aside.
AMADINE. It shall not need; if Amadine do live,
Thou shalt be crowned King of Arragon.
