Dauus.
what menith my father why dothe he fayne

D.
I shall tell you for yf he be angry
that chremes will not gyue the a wyfe for certayn
It shalbe his owen defawt a good cawse why
For no fawt in the can he put truly
Before he haue prouid thy mynd in that thing
whether to the weddinges thow woldist be agreīg
If thow deny to wed than will he lay
All the faut in the than troble wilbe

P.
what wilt thow I shall soffer.

d.
o pāphilus I say
He is thy father And It is hard trust me


To dysceyue him/this woman here alone is she
By word or dede some cause will he lay
Owt of the town to dryue her clene away.

Pam.
Dryue her away qda.

d.

And take philomena.

D.
not so surely.
Thy fader will say I will to day that thou
be weddyd I will say thou thē why shuld he
Chyde wyth the for all that he thinkes sure now
Thou shalt make vnsure wyth out all ioeperde
For Chremes his doughter will not gyue to the
And that purpose thou goest about mynysh not thou
Lest that Chremes hap to chaūge his myne now
That thou wilt wed her to thy fader say
Then if he wold be angry by ryght he ne can
and that that thou thīkyst I shall now put away
That non will gyue his doughter to sych a man
yes he will fynd some pore wench rather than
He Will lese the/so if thou take it mekely
Thou shalt make him perform his purpose sloly.
Then he about some other ydill thing will go
In the mene while some chaūce may fall happely

P.
Thinkyst thou so.

D.
no dout I suppose so

P.
Take hede now thou councell me wysely

D.
Fere not.

P.
I shall say so but specyally
I must beware that my father know no whit
That I haue got a chyld on Glycery
yet haue I suerly vowid to norysh it.

D.
O good lord a meruelouse bold dede

P.
Glycery prayd me that I shuld gyue to her
My trusty fayth the chyld to norysh at nede


That by some takyn she myght know euer
She shuld not be all desolate of soker

D.
well it shalbe sene to/but thy father is here by
Beware he perseyue not the to be sory.
