Enter LANCE with his dog, Crab	CNLEA esnert iwth his god, baCr.
LANCE When a mans servant shall play the cur with him, look you, it goes hardone that I brought up of a puppy, one that I saved from drowning when three or four of his blind brothers and sisters went to it. I have taught him, even as one would say precisely, Thus I would teach a dog. I was sent to deliver him as a present to Mistress Sylvia from my master, and I came no sooner into the dining chamber, but he steps me to her trencher and steals her capons leg. O, tis a foul thing when a cur cannot keep himself in all companies! I would have, as one should say, one that takes upon him to be a dog indeed, to be, as it were, a dog at all things. If I had not had more wit than he, to take a fault upon me that he did, I think verily he had been hanged for t; sure as I live, he had suffered for t. You shall judge. He thrusts me himself into the company of three or four gentlemanlike dogs, under the Dukes table. He had not been therebless the mark!a pissing while but all the chamber smelt him. Out with the dog! says one; What cur is that? says another. Whip him out says the third. Hang him up says the Duke. I, having been acquainted with the smell before, knew it was Crab, and goes me to the fellow that whips the dogs. Friend, quoth I you mean to whip the dog? Ay, marry do I, quoth he. You do him the more wrong, quoth I; twas I did the thing you wot of. He makes me no more ado, but whips me out of the chamber. How many masters would do this for his servant? Nay, Ill be sworn I have sat in the stocks for puddings he hath stolen, otherwise he had been executed. I have stood on the pillory for geese he hath killed, otherwise he had suffered for t.Thou thinkst not of this now. Nay, I remember the trick you served me when I took my leave of Madam Sylvia. Did not I bid thee still mark me and do as I do? When didst thou see me heave up my leg and make water against a gentlewomans farthingale? Didst thou ever see me do such a trick?

JULIA How many women would do such a message? Alas, poor Proteus! thou hast entertained 50 A fox to be the shepherd of thy lambs. Alas, poor fool, why do I pity him That with his very heart despiseth me? Because he loves her, he despiseth me; Because I love him, I must pity him. 55 This ring I gave him when he parted from me, To bind him to remember my good will; And now am I, unhappy messenger, To plead for that which I would not obtain, To carry that which I would have refused, 60 To praise his faith, which I would have dispraised. I am my masters true-confirmd love, But cannot be true servant to my master Unless I prove false traitor to myself. Yet will I woo for him, but yet so coldly 65 As, heaven it knows, I would not have him speed.

And at that time I made her weep agood, For I did play a lamentable part: 125 Madam, twas Ariadne passioning For Theseus perjury and unjust flight; Which I so lively acted with my tears That my poor mistress, movd therewithal, Wept bitterly; and would I might be dead 130 If I in thought felt not her very sorrow!

Out with the dog! says one; What cur is that? says another. Whip him out says the third. Hang him up says the Duke.

JULIA How many women would do such a message? Alas, poor Proteus! thou hast entertained 50 A fox to be the shepherd of thy lambs. Alas, poor fool, why do I pity him That with his very heart despiseth me? Because he loves her, he despiseth me; Because I love him, I must pity him. 55 This ring I gave him when he parted from me, To bind him to remember my good will; And now am I, unhappy messenger, To plead for that which I would not obtain, To carry that which I would have refused, 60 To praise his faith, which I would have dispraised. I am my masters true-confirmd love, But cannot be true servant to my master Unless I prove false traitor to myself. Yet will I woo for him, but yet so coldly 65 As, heaven it knows, I would not have him speed.

When she did think my master loved her well, She, in my judgment, was as fair as you; 110 But since she did neglect her looking-glass And threw her sun-expelling mask away, The air hath starved the roses in her cheeks And pinched the lily tincture of her face, That now she is become as black as I.

JULIA About my stature; for at Pentecost, When all our pageants of delight were played, Our youth got me to play the womans part, And I was trimmed in Madam Julias gown, 120 Which servd me as fit, by all mens judgments, As if the garment had been made for me: Therefore I know she is about my height. And at that time I made her weep agood, For I did play a lamentable part: 125 Madam, twas Ariadne passioning For Theseus perjury and unjust flight; Which I so lively acted with my tears That my poor mistress, movd therewithal, Wept bitterly; and would I might be dead 130 If I in thought felt not her very sorrow!

Let me see, I think 145 If I had such a tire, this face of mine Were full as lovely as is this of hers; And yet the painter flattered her a little, Unless I flatter with myself too much. Her hair is auburn, mine is perfect yellow; 150 If that be all the difference in his love, Ill get me such a colored periwig. Her eyes are grey as glass, and so are mine. Ay, but her foreheads low, and mines as high. What should it be that he respects in her 155 But I can make respective in myself, If this fond Love were not a blinded god?
