I,3,413 |
My ladies both, good day to you.
|
2 |
I,3,416 |
How do you both? you are manifest house-keepers.
What are you sewing here? A fine spot, in good
faith. How does your little son?
|
3 |
I,3,422 |
O' my word, the father's son: I'll swear,'tis a
very pretty boy. O' my troth, I looked upon him o'
Wednesday half an hour together: has such a
confirmed countenance. I saw him run after a gilded
butterfly: and when he caught it, he let it go
again; and after it again; and over and over he
comes, and again; catched it again; or whether his
fall enraged him, or how 'twas, he did so set his
teeth and tear it; O, I warrant it, how he mammocked
it!
|
4 |
I,3,433 |
Indeed, la, 'tis a noble child.
|
5 |
I,3,435 |
Come, lay aside your stitchery; I must have you play
the idle husewife with me this afternoon.
|
6 |
I,3,438 |
Not out of doors!
|
7 |
I,3,442 |
Fie, you confine yourself most unreasonably: come,
you must go visit the good lady that lies in.
|
8 |
I,3,448 |
You would be another Penelope: yet, they say, all
the yarn she spun in Ulysses' absence did but fill
Ithaca full of moths. Come; I would your cambric
were sensible as your finger, that you might leave
pricking it for pity. Come, you shall go with us.
|
9 |
I,3,454 |
In truth, la, go with me; and I'll tell you
excellent news of your husband.
|
10 |
I,3,457 |
Verily, I do not jest with you; there came news from
him last night.
|
11 |
I,3,460 |
In earnest, it's true; I heard a senator speak it.
Thus it is: the Volsces have an army forth; against
whom Cominius the general is gone, with one part of
our Roman power: your lord and Titus TITUS are set
down before their city Corioli; they nothing doubt
prevailing and to make it brief wars. This is true,
on mine honour; and so, I pray, go with us.
|
12 |
I,3,471 |
In troth, I think she would. Fare you well, then.
Come, good sweet lady. Prithee, Virgilia, turn thy
solemness out o' door. and go along with us.
|
13 |
I,3,476 |
Well, then, farewell.
|
14 |
II,1,1055 |
In troth, there's wondrous things spoke of him.
