Bora. Mass, and my elbow itched; I thought there would a scab follow.

Con. I will owe thee an answer for that: and now forward [095] with thy tale.

Con. Is it possible that any villany should be so dear?

Bora. Thou shouldst rather ask, if it were possible any [104] villany should be so rich; for when rich villains have need 105 of poor ones, poor ones may make what price they will.

Con. I wonder at it.

110 Con. Yes, it is apparel.
