in a Pilgrims weede. [Enter Francis]
Now God you1 saue you iolly Palmer.
Fran. Welcome Lady gay, Oft haue I sued to thee for loue.
B. Oft haue I said you nay.
2 F. My loue is fixed. B. And so is mine,
but not on you: For to my husband whilst I Hue,
I will euer be true. F. He giue thee gold and rich array.
B. Which I shall buy too deare. F. Nought shalt thou want: then say not nay.
B. Naught would you make mee I feare.
3 What though you be a Gentleman,
and haue lands great2 store? I will be chaste doe what you can,
though I Hue ne're3 so poore. F. Thy beauty rare hath wounded mee,
and pierst my heart. B. Your foolish loue doth trouble mee,
pray you Sir depart.
4 F. Then tel mee sweet wilt thou consent
vnto my desire: B. And if I should, then tel me sir, what is it you require ?
