Taught her? her nimble witt run̄e away w
t h it before I coulde discover halfe y

e reste.

To see wt seemeinge easy taske she gives them
But when they once come to projection—

Besydes she has founde out y
e most trimmest way of abuseinge them.—but Ile not forestall
her witt.—


Lepid:

Nay if her witt had not kept me alive I had
binn deade before her mother. but see ye flyes

Of Hercules w
