M. Bar. But tell me, wench, hast thou a minde to marry?

Mall. This question is too hard for bashfulnes;

And, father, now ye pose my modestie. 125

I am a maide, and when ye aske me thus,

I like a maide must blush, looke pale and wan,

And then looke pale[1680] againe; for we change colour

As our thoughts change. With true fac'd passion

Of modest maidenhead I could adorne me, 130

And to your question make a sober cursie

And with close clipt civilitie be silent;
