Tis knowne that I have lived in honest name
All my life time, and bin your right true wife.
M. Gour. I entertaine no other thought, my wife,
And my opinion's sound of your behaviour. 120
Mis. Gou. And my behaviour is as sound as it;
But her ill speeches seekes to rot my credit,
And eate it with the worme of hate and mallice.
M. Gou. Why, then, preserve it you by patience.
Mi. Gou. By patience! would ye have me shame my selfe,
And cussen my selfe to beare her injuries? 126
