Shew your assurance, then I'll answer you.
SEGASTO.
Thy father's promise my assurance is.
AMADINE.
But what he promist he hath not performed.
SEGASTO.
It rests in thee for to perform the same.
AMADINE.
Not I.
SEGASTO.
And why?
AMADINE.
So is my will, and therefore even so.
MOUSE.
Master, with a nonie, nonie, no!
SEGASTO.
Aye, wicked villain, art thou here?
MUCEDORUS.
What needs these words? we weigh them not.
SEGASTO.
We weigh them not, proud shepherd! I scorn thy company.
MOUSE.
We'll not have a corner of thy company.
MUCEDORUS.
I scorn not thee, nor yet the least of thine.
MOUSE.
That's a lie, a would have killed me with his pugsnando.
SEGASTO.
This stoutness, Amadine, contents me not.
AMADINE.
Then seek an other that may you better please.
MUCEDORUS.
Well, Amadine, it only rests in thee Without delay to make thy choice of three:
There stands Segasto, here a shepherd stands, There stands the third; now make thy choice.
MOUSE.
A Lord at the least I am.
AMADINE.
My choice is made, for I will none but thee.
SEGASTO.
A worthy mate, no doubt, for such a wife.
MUCEDORUS.
And, Amadine, why wilt thou none but me?
I cannot keep thee as thy father did;
I have no lands for to maintain thy state.
