Prologue,2,246

Christopher Sly. I thank thee; thou shalt not lose by it.

Page. How fares my noble lord?


2

Prologue,2,249

Christopher Sly. Marry, I fare well; for here is cheer enough.
Where is my wife?

Page. Here, noble lord; what is thy will with her?


3

Prologue,2,252

Christopher Sly. Are you my wife, and will not call me husband?
My men should call me 'lord'; I am your goodman.

Page. My husband and my lord, my lord and husband;
I am your wife in all obedience.


4

Prologue,2,260

Christopher Sly. Madam wife, they say that I have dream'd
And slept above some fifteen year or more.

Page. Ay, and the time seems thirty unto me,
Being all this time abandon'd from your bed.


5

Prologue,2,265

Christopher Sly. 'Tis much. Servants, leave me and her alone.
[Exeunt SERVANTS]
Madam, undress you, and come now to bed.

Page. Thrice noble lord, let me entreat of you
To pardon me yet for a night or two;
Or, if not so, until the sun be set.
For your physicians have expressly charg'd,
In peril to incur your former malady,
That I should yet absent me from your bed.
I hope this reason stands for my excuse.


6

Prologue,2,286

Christopher Sly. Marry, I will; let them play it. Is not a comonty a
Christmas gambold or a tumbling-trick?

Page. No, my good lord, it is more pleasing stuff.


7

Prologue,2,288

Christopher Sly. What, household stuff?

Page. It is a kind of history.


8

I,1,548

Christopher Sly. Yes, by Saint Anne do I. A good matter, surely; comes there
any more of it?

Page. My lord, 'tis but begun.
