_Ge._ I'll teach her to be a maid of the order, I warrant you. And can you do any work belongs to a lady's chamber? 343 _Si._ What I cannot do, madam, I would be glad to learn. _Ge._ Well said; hold up, then; hold up your head, I say; come hither a little. _Si._ I thank your ladyship. _Ge._ And hark you, good man, you may put on your hat now; I do not look on you. I must have you of my faction now; not of my knight's, maid. 351 _Si._ No, forsooth, madam, of yours. _Ge._ And draw all my servants in my bow, and keep my counsel, and tell me tales, and put me riddles, and read on a book sometimes when I am busy, and laugh at country gentlewomen, and command anything in the house for my retainers; and care not what you spend, for it is all mine; and in any case be still a maid, whatsoever you do, or whatsoever any man can do unto you. _Sec._ I warrant your ladyship for that. 360 _Ge._ Very well; you shall ride in my coach with me into the country, to-morrow morning.

Come in, I say; as I am a lady, you shall not go. 370 _Qu._ I told him what a burr he had gotten. _Sec._ If you will not sup from your knight, madam, let me entreat your ladyship to sup at my house with him. _Ge._ No, by my faith, sir; then we cannot be abed soon enough after supper. _Pe._ What a medicine is this! Well, Master Security, you are new married as well as I; I hope you are bound as well. We must honour our young wives, you know. _Qu._ In policy, dad, till to-morrow she has sealed. _Sec._ I hope in the morning yet your knighthood will breakfast with me? 381 _Pe._ As early as you will, sir. _Sec._ I thank your good worship; I do hunger and thirst to do you good, sir. _Ge._ Come, sweet knight, come; I do hunger and thirst to be abed with thee.
