Ger. She is beautiful beyond all things I ever saw. [Aside.
Hip. I like him extremely! [Aside.
Ger. Come, fairest, why do you frown?
Hip. Because I am angry.
Ger. I am come on purpose to please you, then; do not receive me so unkindly.
Hip. I tell you, I do not use to receive men.—There has not been a man in the house before, but my cousin, this twelvemonth, I'd have you to know.
Ger. Then you ought to bid me the more welcome, I'd have you to know.
Hip. What! do you mock me too? I know I am but a home-bred simple girl! but I thought you gallants of the town had been better bred than to mock a poor girl in her father's own house. I have heard, indeed, 'tis a part of good breeding to mock people behind their backs, but not to their faces.
Ger. [Aside.] Pretty creature! she has not only the beauty, but the innocency of an angel.—[To Hippolita.] Mock you, dear miss! no, I only repeated the words because they were yours, sweet miss; what we like we imitate.
