[539] Now called Cannon Street.
ACT V., SCENE I.
Enter the three Sisters.
Laur. Nay, never weep, Marina, for the matter;
Tears are but signs of sorrow, helping not.
Mar. Would it not mad one to be crossed as I,
Being in the very height of my desire?
The strangers frustrate all; our true loves come,
Nay more, even at the door, and Harvey's arms
Spread as a rainbow, ready to receive me,
And then my father meet us. O God! O God!
Math. Weep who that list for me, i' faith, not I,
Though I am youngest, yet my stomach's great.
Nor 'tis not father, friends, nor any one,
Shall make me wed the man I cannot love.
I'll have my will in faith; i' faith, I will.
Laur. Let us determine, sisters, what to do.
My father means to wed us in the morning,
And therefore something must be thought upon.
Mar. We'll to our father, and so know his mind,
Ay, and his reason too: we are no fools,
Or babies neither, to be fed with words.
Laur. Agreed, agreed: but who shall speak for all?
