Silken mistresse Custance now, faire mistresse Custance.
C. Custance. Faith rather than to mary with suche a doltishe loute,
I woulde matche my selfe with a beggar out of doute.
M. Mery. Then I can say no more, to speede we are not like, 80
Except ye rappe out a ragge of your Rhetorike.
C. Custance. Speake not of winnyng me: for it shall never be so.
R. Royster. Yes dame, I will have you whether ye will or no,
I commaunde you to love me, wherfore shoulde ye not?
Is not my love to you chafing and burning hot? 85
M. Mery. Too hir, that is well sayd.
