Spend. Yes, with all my heart,
So the first word may be, untruss your points—
Zounds, one knocks; do not stir, I charge you,
[Knock within.
Nor speak, but what I bid you:
For, by these lips which now in love I kiss,
If you but struggle or but raise your voice,
My arm shall rise with it, and strike you dead.
Go to, come on with me, and ask who's there!
Wid. It is my maid.
Spend. No matter; do as I bid you: say, who's there?
Wid. Who's there?
Phil. (Within.) 'Tis I, forsooth.
Spend. If it be you, forsooth, then pray you stay,
Till I shall call upon you.
Wid. [Repeats.] If it be you, forsooth, then pray you stay,
Till I shall call upon you.
Spend. Very well: why, now I see
Thou'lt prove an obedient wife. Come, let's undress.
