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.
