Why, thou knave, did I not bid thee banish the shepherd?
MOUSE.
O, the shepherd's bastard.
SEGASTO.
I tell thee, the shepherd's banishment.
MOUSE.
I tell you the shepherd's bastard shall be well kept;I'll look to it myself else; but I pray you, come away to dinner.
SEGASTO.
Then you will not tell me whether you have banished him or no?
MOUSE.
Why, I cannot say banishment, and you would give me a thousand pounds to say so.
SEGASTO.
Why, you whoreson slave, have you forgotten that Isent you and another to drive away the shepherd.
MOUSE.
What an ass are you; here's a stir indeed: here's 'message,' 'arrant,' 'banishment,' and I cannot tell what.
SEGASTO.
I pray you, sir, shall I know whether you have drove him away?
MOUSE.
Faith, I think I have; and you will not believe me, ask my staff.
SEGASTO.
Why, can thy staff tell?
MOUSE.
Why, he was with me to.
SEGASTO.
Then happy I that have obtained my will.
MOUSE.
And happier I, if you would go to dinner.
SEGASTO.
Come, sirra, follow me.
MOUSE.
I warrant you, I will not loose an inch of you, now you are going to dinner.--I promise you, Ithought seven year before I could get him away.
