She need not doubt him, sir. Alas, he has nothing, But what he will part withal as willingly, Upon her grace's word--throw away your purse-- As she would ask it;--handkerchiefs and all-- She cannot bid that thing, but he'll obey.-- If you have a ring about you, cast it off, Or a silver seal at your wrist; her grace will send Her fairies here to search you, therefore deal Directly with her highness: if they find That you conceal a mite, you are undone.
