O Win, fie, what do you mean, Win? be womanly, Win; make an outcry to your mother, Win! master Quarlous is an honest gentleman, and our worshipful good friend, Win; and he is master Winwife's friend too: and master Winwife comes a suitor to your mother, Win; as I told you before, Win, and may perhaps be our father, Win: they'll do you no harm, Win; they are both our worshipful good friends. Master Quarlous! you must know master Quarlous, Win; you must not quarrel with master Quarlous, Win. (QUAR: No, we'll kiss again, and fall in.) Yes, do, good Win. (MRS. LIT: In faith you are a fool, John.) A fool-John, she calls me; do you mark that, gentlemen? pretty Littlewit of velvet? a fool-John.
