There's one would be a client, make excuse For a few minuts. Mar. One that comes a woing? Cel. Such a thing he would seeme, but in his guiltinesse Of little land, his expectation is not So valiant as it might be, he weares cloathes, And feeds with noblemen, to some I heare No better than a wanton emissarie, Or scout for Venus wild soule, which made tame, He thinkes no shame to stand court centinell, In hope of the reversion.
