To live with her all your life.
RIOT. A wife? nay, nay, for God avow, He shall have flesh enou', For, by God that me dear bought, Over-much of one thing is nought; The devil said he had liever burn all his life Than once for to take a wife; Therefore I say, so God me save, He shall no wife have: Thou hast a sister fair and free, I know well his leman she will be; Therefore I would she were here, That we might go and make good cheer At the wine somewhere. YOUTH. I pray you hither thou her do bring, For she is to my liking. PRIDE. Sir, I shall do my diligence To bring her to your presence. YOUTH. Hie thee apace, and come again; To have a sight I would be fain Of that lady free. |
