Rossa. Another of these Students at that time, Was there with him, as I haue heard a truth. Berowne they call him, but a merrier man, Within the limit of becomming mirth, I neuer spent an houres talke withall. His eye begets occasion for his wit, For euery obiect that the one doth catch, The other turnes to a mirth-mouing iest. Which his faire tongue (conceits expositor) Deliuers in such apt and gracious words, That aged eares play treuant at his tales, And yonger hearings are quite rauished. So sweet and voluble is his discourse Prin. God blesse my Ladies, are they all in loue? That euery one her owne hath garnished, With such bedecking ornaments of praise Ma. Heere comes Boyet. Enter Boyet. Prin. Now, what admittance Lord? Boyet. Nauar had notice of your faire approach; And he and his competitors in oath, Were all addrest to meete you gentle Lady Before I came: Marrie thus much I haue learnt, He rather meanes to lodge you in the field, Like one that comes heere to besiege his Court, Then seeke a dispensation for his oath: To let you enter his vnpeopled house. Enter Nauar, Longauill, Dumaine, and Berowne. Heere comes Nauar Nau. Faire Princesse, welcom to the Court of Nauar Prin. Faire I giue you backe againe, and welcome I haue not yet: the roofe of this Court is too high to bee yours, and welcome to the wide fields, too base to be mine Nau. You shall be welcome Madam to my Court Prin. I wil be welcome then, Conduct me thither Nau. Heare me deare Lady, I haue sworne an oath Prin. Our Lady helpe my Lord, he'll be forsworne Nau. Not for the world faire Madam, by my will Prin. Why, will shall breake it will, and nothing els Nau. Your Ladiship is ignorant what it is Prin. Were my Lord so, his ignorance were wise, Where now his knowledge must proue ignorance. I heare your grace hath sworne out House-keeping: 'Tis deadly sinne to keepe that oath my Lord, And sinne to breake it: But pardon me, I am too sodaine bold, To teach a Teacher ill beseemeth me. Vouchsafe to read the purpose of my comming, And sodainly resolue me in my suite Nau. Madam, I will, if sodainly I may Prin. You will the sooner that I were away, For you'll proue periur'd if you make me stay Berow. Did not I dance with you in Brabant once? Rosa. Did not I dance with you in Brabant once? Ber.

Your wit's too hot, it speeds too fast, 'twill tire Rosa. Not till it leaue the Rider in the mire Ber. What time a day? Rosa. The howre that fooles should aske Ber. Now faire befall your maske Rosa. Faire fall the face it couers Ber. And send you many louers Rosa. Amen, so you be none Ber. Nay then will I be gone
