Shakespeare, William
English drama
_Sir To._ He shall think, by the letters that thou wilt 155
drop, that they come from my niece, and that she's in love
with him.
_Mar._ My purpose is, indeed, a horse of that colour.
_Sir And._ And your horse now would make him an ass.
_Mar._ Ass, I doubt not. 160
_Sir And._ O, 'twill be admirable!
_Mar._ Sport royal, I warrant you: I know my physic
will work with him. I will plant you two, and let the fool
make a third, where he shall find the letter: observe his
construction of it. For this night, to bed, and dream on 165
the event. Farewell. [_Exit._
_Sir To._ Good night, Penthesilea.
_Sir And._ Before me, she's a good wench.
_Sir To._ She's a beagle, true-bred, and one that adores
me: what o' that? 170
_Sir And._ I was adored once too.
_Sir To._ Let's to bed, knight. Thou hadst need send
for more money.
_Sir And._ If I cannot recover your niece, I am a foul
way out. 175
_Sir To._ Send for money, knight: if thou hast her not
i' the end, call me cut.
_Sir And._ If I do not, never trust me, take it how you
will.
_Sir To._ Come, come, I'll go burn some sack; 'tis too 180
late to go to bed now: come, knight; come, knight.
[_Exeunt._
