1st Maid. Excellently well, madam.

Edm. The time has been, when thus thou mightst have said,

What, must these poor eyes never see them more?

And have I need of these vile rags? off! off!

I’ll follow ye to th’ extreme point o’the world;

And, naked, bear the icy mountains cold,

And the dread scorches o’that ball of fire,

Till I have found them i’the antipodes;

Should I not meet them there, I will rail so!—

Pardon these starts! in troth I will not harm ye;
