The .i. scene

Chremes.
Simo.
Inough inough inough now simo
My frendship to the prouid is this day
I had almost perell inough com to
Therfore cease of this and do me no more pray
For whyle I folow the ny had I had cast awey
My doghters lyfe.

s.
but yet now I pray the still
The thing in wordis begon in dede to fulfyll.

Ch.
O so incessaunt thow ad in thy desyre
For so that thow thy mynde now mayst haue
Thow ne caryst what thow dost requyre
Nor thow vsyst no gentylnes so god me saue
For yf thow diddist thy desyre wold fade
Me wyth wrongis this wyse to ouerlade

S.
why.

C.

why qda for thow haddist by god aboue
Almost made me my doughter terme of lyfe
Gyfe to one occupied in a nothers loue

Abhorring eueryday from his weddid wyfe
So shuld they lyue in debate and stryfe
And in no good sure wedlok so I shold now
Thy sonne reform by her labour & sorrow.

Thow haddist thy mynd which I folowid whyle it lefull was
But now it is not so therfore content be.
They sey she is a cytyzyn but neuerthelas
The chylde is born I my self didit se
Let vs alone.

now chremes I pray the
For the loue of all the goddis that thow
Neuer gyue credens to any of theym now.

To whom it were best that my sonne were
worst & most agayn theym of all men
For feynyd and begon is all this gere
Because of the mariagis but when
That that they do this for is dasht then
they will syt in rest.

chr.
tush mā thow art wyde
For I saw the handmayd wyth dauus chyde

S.
All this I beleue.

C.
and wyth trew coūtenāce
when nother of theym wist me to be by

S.
I think well & All this Circunstauns
Dauus hym self told it me truly
That it shold so be but how the dyuell I
For get this matter to tell the for A suerte
I can not tell but I thought to haue told the
