Mistrisse Loue I maruell not a little what coy conceit is crept into your head that you seeme so sad and sorrowfull since the time you first did wed tell me sweet wench what thou aylest and if I can ease thy griefe I will be prest to pleasure thee in yeelding of reliefe Sure thou makest me for to thinke somewhat hath chaunst amisse I pray thee tell me what thou aylest and what the matter is Loue My griefe alas I shame to show because my bad intent Hath brought on me a iust reward and eke a strange euent Shall I be counted Loue nay rather lasciuious Lust Because vnto Dissimulation I did repose such trust But now i mone too late and blush my hap to tell My head in monstrous sort alas doth more and more still swell Luc. Is your head then swolne good mistris Loue I pray you let mee see Of truth it is behold a face that seemes to smile on me It is faire and well fauored with a countenance smooth and good Wonder is the worst to see two faces in a hood Come le ts go we le find some sports to spurne away such toyes Loue Were it not for lucar sure Loue had lost her ioyes Exeunt Enter Seruiceable Diligence the Constable and Simplicitie with an Officer to whip him or two if you can Simp.

Indeed maister Constable I do not know of their stealing For I did not see them since we went togither a begging Therefore pray ye sir be miserable to me and let me goe For I labour to get my liuing with begging you know Dili. Thou wast seene in their companie a little before the deed was done therefore it is most likely thou knowest where they are become Simp. Why maister Constable if a sheepe go among wolues all day Shall the sheepe be blamd if they steale any thing away Dili. Yea mary shall he for it is a great presumption that keeping them companie he is of like profession But dispatch sirs strip him and whip him Stand not to reason the question Simp.
