Scene 35.
Enter Nan the Lady Jealousies Chamber-maid, and her Master Sir Henry Courtly meets her, and kisses her. Enter the Lady Jea∣lousie, and sees him.
LAdy Iealousie.

So Husband, I perceive Nan is in your favour.

Nan runs out of the room.
Courtly.

'Faith Wife Nan is a careful and industrious Wench! for she strives to serve us both, for she makes you candles and feeds me with kisses.

Lady Iealousie.

Or rather Husband you feed Nan, and Nan feeds me.

Courtly.

Faith the truth is I eed you both.

Lady Iealousie.

But Nan hath the greatest share, that makes her so proud, and I so sickly; But since you are so liberal to her, and so sparing to me, I will board elsewhere, and so as I may carve where I like best.

Courtly.

Sure Wife you will not.

Lady Iealousie.

Surely Husband I will do my endeavour.

Courtly.

What to be a Whore?

Lady Iealousie.

Yes, if being a whore will make you a Cuckold.

Exeunt.
