If you had pleased to have defended it

205 With any terms of zeal, wanted the modesty

To urge the thing held as a ceremony?

Nerissa teaches me what to believe:

I’ll die for’t but some woman had the ring.

[209] Bass. No, by my honour, madam, by my soul,

210 No woman had it, but a civil doctor,

[211] Which did refuse three thousand ducats of me,

And begg’d the ring; the which I did deny him,

[213] And suffered him to go displeased away;
