would give ye twenty pound in gold。
WIT。 Yes�察�in good sadness�察�lady�察�that I would�此�I could find in my heart
to kiss you in your smock。

Lord Mayor�察�I love to be merry。

opinion dost stand。 I tell thee�察�this naughty lewd Inclination Does lead thee
amiss in a very strange fashion�此 �This is not Wisdom�察 �but Lady Vanity�察�

then they shall begin the play again�察�Which through the fellow's absence�察�

player�拭 �oh�察 �he would uphold a company beyond all hope�察 �better than

to the matter�察�and spake Lugginses part almost as it is in the very book set
down�拭�
WIT。 Peace�察 �do ye know what ye say�拭 �my lord a player� �let us not

things into dislike�察�For otherwise the play had been all seen�察�Where now
some curious citizen disgraced it�察�And discommending it�察�all is dismissed。
VICE。 Fore God�察�a says true。 But hear ye�察�sirs�此�8 angels�察�ha� �my lord

Not to be thus deceived of thy right。 Am I a man�察 �by office truly
