Maid. Thou art my example.
I'll kiss thee once: farewell for ever. Come, my lord, now
Match me, with whom you please—a tumbler.
I must do this, else had they fought again.
Proudly. Mine own best sister! Farewell, Master Ingen.
[Exeunt Proudly and Maid.
Bro. O ancient truth! to be denied of no man:
An eel by the tail's held surer than a woman.
[Exeunt.
ACT V., SCENE I.
Enter Subtle, with Husband.
Sub. She is not to be cast.
Hus. It cannot be:
Had you a wife, and I were in your case,
I would be hang'd even at the chamber-door,
Where I attempted, but I'd lay her flat.
Sub. Why, tell me truly, would it please you best,
To have her remain chaste or conquered?
Hus. O friend, it would do me good at the heart
To have her overcome: she does so brag,
And stand upon her chastity, forsooth.
