BOULT

          How’s this? We must take another course with you. If your peevish chastity,
          which is not worth a breakfast in the cheapest country under the cope, shall
          undo a [120] whole household, let me be gelded like a spaniel. Come your

          ways.


              MARINA

          Whither would you have me?



              BOULT
          I  must  have  your  maidenhead  taken  off,  or  the  common  hangman  shall
          execute  it.  Come  your  ways.  [125]  We’ll  have  no  more  gentlemen  driven
          away. Come your ways, I say.


                                                Enter Pander and Bawd.



              BAWD

          How now, what’s the matter?


              BOULT

          Worse  and  worse,  mistress.  She  has  here  spoken  holy  words  to  the  Lord
          Lysimachus. [130]



              BAWD
          O, abominable!



              BOULT
          He makes our profession as it were to stink afore the face of the gods.



              BAWD
          Marry, hang her up for ever!



              BOULT
          The nobleman would have dealt with her like a [135] nobleman, and she sent

          him away as cold as a snowball, saying his prayers too.


              BAWD
