No, truly; for the truest poetry is the most feigning; and lovers are given to poetry; and what they swear in poetry, may be said, as lovers, they do feign. Aud. Do you wish then, that the gods had made me poetical? Touch. I do, truly: for thou swear'st to me, thou art honest; now, if thou wert a poet, I might ha some hope thou didst feign. Aud. Would you not have me honest? Touch. No truly, unless thou wert hard-favourd: for honesty coupled to beauty, is to have honey sauce to sugar. Jaq. A material fool*! Aud. Well, I am not fair; and there the gods make me honest! Touch. Truly, and to cast away honesty upou foul slut, were to put good meat into a dislı. Aud.

I am not in the mind but I were better to be married of him than of another: for he is not like to marry me well; and not being well married, it will be a good excuse for me hereafter to leave my wife.

But why did he swear he would come this morning, and comes not? Cel. Nay certaiuly, there is no truth iu him. Cel.

You have heard him swear downright, be was. Cel. Was is not is: besides, the oath of a lover is no stranger than the word of a tapster; they are both the confirmers of false reckonings: He attends here in the forest on the duke your father. Ros. I met the duke yesterday, and had much question with him. He asked me, of what parentage I was; I told him, of as good as he; so he laugh'd, and let me go.
