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;
