Scene 5.

Enter the two Maids, Joan and Kate.

KAte.

It is a very pleasing sight to see the new marryed Children I may say, for so are they; yet they behave themselves so gravely, and so formally, as if they were an Ancoret couple; for there is no appearance of Childish∣ness in their behaviour.

Ioan.

But I wonder my Master and Lady will suffer them to bed together.

Kate.

My Master did perswade his Nephew to ly by himself, but he would not be perswaded.

Ioan.

Truly he is a very fine youth, and she a very pretty young Lady; I dare say she will, make a very handsome woman.

Kate.

I believe she will and a virtuous woman, and he a handsome and gallant man.

Exeunt.
