DORCAS. Tis, without question. CLARE. Two tedious winters have past o'er, since first These couple lov'd each other, and in passion Glued first their naked hands with youthful moisture-- Just so long, on my knowledge. DORCAS. And what of this? CLARE. This morning should my daughter lose her name, And to Mounchenseys house convey our arms, Quartered within his scutcheon; th' affiance, made Twist him and her, this morning should be sealed. DORCAS. I know it should. CLARE. But there are crosses, wife; here's one in Waltham, Another at the Abbey, and the third At Cheston; and tis ominous to pass Any of these without a pater-noster. Crosses of love still thwart this marriage, Whilst that we two, like spirits, walk in night About those stony and hard hearted plots. |
