out of my heart The Women of Rome were wont to crowne their Husbands heads with Bayes in token of victorie and shall I giue my husband hornes in token of infamie An Harlot is hated of all vertuous minded people and shall I make my selfe a Whore O my God forgiue my sin quoth shée and cleanse my heart from these wicked imaginations And as she was thus lamenting her husband came home at whose sight her teares were doubled like vnto a riuer whose streame is encreased by shewers of raine Her husband séeing this would néedes know the cause of her sorrow but a great while shée would not shew him casting manie a piteous looke vpon him and shaking her head at last she said O my deare husband I haue offended against God and shée and made such a trespasse by my tongue as hath cut a déepe scarre in my conscience and wounded my heart with griefe like a Sword like Penelope se haue I béene wooed but like Penelope I haue not answered Why woman quoth he what is the matter If it be but the bare offence of thy tongue why shouldest thou so grieue considering that womens tongues are like Lambs tayles which seldome stand still And the Wise man saith Where much talke is must néedes be some offence Womens beauties are fayre markes for wandring eyes to shoote at but as euery Archer hits not the white so euery Wooer winnes not his mistresse fauour All Cities that are besieged are not sackt nor all women to bée mislikt that are loued Why wife I am perswaded thy faith is more firme and thy constancie greater to withstand Louers alarums than that any other but my selfe should obsaine the fortresse of thy heart O swéet husband quoth she wée sée the strongest Lower at length falleth downe by the Canons force though the Bullets be but Iron then how can the weake Bulwarke of a Womans breast make resistance when the hot Canons of déepe perswading wordes are shotte off with golden Bullets and euery one as big as a Portigue If it be so wife I may thinke my selfe in a good case and you to be a very honest woman As Mars and Venus danc't naked together in a Net so I doubt you and some knaue haue playd naked together in a bed but in faith thou queane I will send shée to salute thy friends without a Nose and as thou hast sold thy honesty so will I sell thy company Swéete Husband though I haue promised I have performed nothing euery bargain is not effected and therefore as Iudas brought againe the thirty siluer plates for the which he betrayed his Master so repenting my folly I le cast him againe his golde for which I should haue wronged my Husband Tell me quoth her husband what he is It is master Bennedicke quoth shée which for my loue hath left the loue of our kinswoman and hath vowed himselfe for euer to liue my seruant O dissembling Italian quoth hée I will be reuenged on him for this wrong I know that any fauour from Ione our kinswoman will make him runne like vnto a man bitten with a mad dogge therefore be ruled by mee and thou shalt sée me dresse him in his kinde The woman was very well pleased saying hee would be there that night All this works well with me quoth her husband and to supper will I inuite Ione my kinswoman and in the meane space make vp the bed in the Pariour very decently So the goodman went forth and got a sléepy drench from the Poticaries the which he gaue to a yongue Sow which hee had in his yard and in the euening layde her downe in the bed in the Parlour drawing the Curtaines round about Supper time beeing come master Bennedicke gaue his attendance looking for no other company but the good wife Notwithstanding at the last mistresse Ione came in with her kinsman and sate downe to supper with him Master Bennedicke musing at their sudden approach yet neuerthelesse glad of mistresse Iones company past the supper time with many pleasant conceits Ione shewing her selfe that night more pleasant in his company than at any time before wherefore he gaue the good man great thankes Good master Bennedicke little doe you think how I haue trauelled in your behalfe to my kinswoman and very much adoe I had to bring the péeuish Wench into any good liking of your loue notwithstanding by my very great diligence and perswasions I haue at length won her good will to come hither little thinking to finde you here or any such good chéere to entertaine her all which I sée is fallen out for your profite But trust me all the world cannot now alter her minde nor turne her loue from you In regard whereof shée hath promised me to lye this night in my house for the great desire the hath of your good company and in requitall of all your great courtesies shewed to me I am very well content to bring you to her bed Marry this you must consider and so she had me tell you that you should come to bed with as little noyse as you could and tumble nothing that you find for feare of her best gowne and her hat which she will lay hard by the bed side next her best partlet and in so doing you may haue company with her all night but say nothing in any case till you be a bed O quoth he Mater Ian be Got Mater Ian me wil not spoile her clothes for a towsand pound ah me loue metres Ione more than my wife Well supper being done they rose from the table Master Bennedick imbracing mistresse Ione thankt her for her great curtesie and company and then the good man and he walkt into the Towne and Ione hyed her home to her masters knowing nothing of the intended iest Master Bennedicke thought euery houre twaine till the Sun was downe and that he were a bed with his beloued At last he had his wish and home hee came to his friends house Then said Iohn master Bennedick you must not in any case haue a candle when you go into the chamber for then my kinswoman will be angry and darke places sits best Louers desires O Mater Ian quoth he it s no such matter for light mee shall finde Metres lone will enough in the darke And entring in the parlour groping about hee felt a gowne and hat O Metres Ione quoth hee heere is your gowne and hat me shal no hurt for a tousand pound Then knéeling downe by the bed side instead of mistresse Ione hee saluted the sow in this sort O my loue and my delight it is thy faire face that hath wounded my heart thy gray sparkling eyes and thy Lilly white hands with the comely proportion of thy pretty body that made mee in seeking thee to forget my selfe to find thy fauour lose my owne fréedom but now is the time come wherein I shall reape the fruits of a plentifull haruest Now my deare from thy swéet
