Wag. How they did run, not rheumaticly run,
But round about the room, one over one!
That wide mouth? no, small: no, but middle-size,
That nose dominical, that head, like——wise.
Pen. Very good: d'ye mark that head likewise?
Abra. She has an excellent wit.
Pen. I'll now into her, sir: observe what follows. Now, turtle, mourning still for the party? for whom are you working that purse?
Abra. For me, I warrant her.
[Aside.]
Wag. What news, good cousin? I hope you have not revealed my love.
Pen. Yes, faith, I have acquainted the knight with all; and thou may'st be ashamed to abuse a gentleman so slanderously. He swears he ne'er lay with you.
Wag. Lie with me? alas! no, I say not so, nor no man living; but there was one night above the rest, that I dreamt he lay with me; and did you ne'er hear of a child begot in a dream.
Abra. By this light, that very night I dreamt she lay with me.
[Aside.]
