Scene 2.
Pray Husband give your Nephew leave to marry my Daughter.
Time enough Wife, they are young, and may stay this seven years, and indeed they are so young as it is not fit they should marry; besides, I have not absolute power to dispose of my Nephew: for though my Brother left him to my care and breeding when he went Am∣bassadour to the Emperour, because his Wife was dead, and none so fit to leave him with as I; yet to marry him without his Fathers Knowledge, or Consent, will not be taken well, nay perchance he may be very angry.
Come, come, he will not displease you with his anger, for fear he may lose that you have power to give from him, which is your Estate, which you may leave to him, or his Son, having no Children of your own; where∣fore pray Husband grant my request.
Well wife, I will consider it.
Nay if you consider, you will find so many excuses, as you will deny my request with excuse.
Faith if I do consent to this marriage, it will be to be rid of my Nephews and your importunity.
You may be sure we will never let you be quiet.
I believe you.
