MlLK-WOMAN. Marry, and that you shall with 

 all my heart ; and I will be still your debtor when 

 you come this way. If you will but speak the 

 word, I will make you a good syllabub of new ver- 

 juice ; and then you may sit down in a haycock, 

 and eat it ; and Maudlin shall sit by and sing you 

 the good old song of the " Hunting in Chevy Chace," 

 or some other good ballad, for she hath store of 

 them : Maudlin, my honest Maudlin, hath a notable 

 memory, and she thinks nothing too good for you, 

 because you be such honest men. 



VENATOR. We thank you ; and intend, once in 

 a month to call upon you again, and give you a 

 little warning ; and so, good-night Good-night, 

 Maudlin. And now, good master, let's lose no 

 time : but tell me somewhat more of fishing ; and 

 if you please, first, something of fishing for a 

 Gudgeon. 



PlSCATOR. I will, honest scholar.
