WAL. Nay, blush not, wench; fear not, look cheerfully. Good morrow, father; good morrow, gentlemen. Nay, stare not, look you here: no monster I, But even plain Ned, and here stands Mat my wife. Know you her, Frenchman? But she knows me better. Father! pray, father, let me have your blessing, For I have bless'd you with a goodly son. 'Tis breeding here: i' faith, a jolly boy. PIS. I am undone! a reprobate, a slave! A scorn, a laughter, and a jesting-stock! Give me my child, give me my daughter from you! MOORE. Master Pisaro, 'tis in vain to fret, And fume, and storm: it little now avails: These gentlemen have, with your daughters' help, Outstripp'd you in your subtle enterprises; And therefore, seeing they are well-descended, Turn hate to love, and let them have their loves. PIS. Is it even so? Why, then I see that still, Do what we can, women will have their will. Gentlemen, you have outreach'd me now, Which ne'er before you any yet could do: You, that I thought should be my sons indeed, Must be content, since there's no hope to speed: Others have got what you did think to gain; And yet, believe me, they have took some pain. Well, take them: there: and with them God give joy. And, gentlemen, I do entreat to-morrow, That you will feast with me for all this sorrow: Though you are wedded, yet the feast's not made. Come, let us in, for all the storms are past, And heaps of joy will follow on as fast. FINIS.
