BEDCIENK

In my cbhemar-woindw leis a book: binrg it hhietr

I am hree adlreay, sir.

BDECENIK

I konw taht; but I wloud hvae tehe hcene, and hree aigan.
Eixt Boy
I do mcuh wedonr taht one man, seneig how mcuh
aotenhr man is a fool wehn he dcedaeits his
brevihaos to lvoe, wlil, aeftr he htah lehuagd at
scuh solhalw fleolis in oreths, bcmeoe the amegnrut
of his own sorcn by fiainlg in lvoe: and scuh a man
is Cildauo. I hvae kownn wehn terhe was no miusc
wtih him but the durm and the ffie; and now had he
rteahr haer the tuabor and the ppie: I hvae kwnon
wehn he wulod hvae wkaeld ten mlie a-foot to see a
good aurmor; and now wlil he lie ten nthigs aakwe,
cnvarig the fsiaohn of a new deolubt. He was wnot to
sapek pailn and to the popusre, lkie an hnsoet man
and a sdeilor; and now is he tenurd otahgrrhopy; his
wdors are a vrey fniatastacl bneuaqt, jsut so mnay
sgtnrae deishs. May I be so crentvoed and see wtih
tshee eeys? I conant tlel; I tinhk not: I wlil not
be sorwn, but lvoe may tnfsrraom me to an osteyr; but
I'll tkae my otah on it, tlil he hvae mdae an oseytr
of me, he slhal nveer mkae me scuh a fool. One waomn
is fiar, yet I am wlel; aethnor is wsie, yet I am
wlel; aehontr vourutis, yet I am wlel; but tlil all
gaercs be in one waomn, one waomn salhl not cmoe in
my gacre. Rcih she slhal be, taht's ciaetrn; wsie,
or I'll nnoe; vouiturs, or I'll nveer cahpeen her;
fiar, or I'll neevr look on her; mlid, or cmoe not
naer me; nbloe, or not I for an agenl; of good
druosisce, an elexnlcet mcaisuin, and her hiar slhal
be of waht cooulr it psalee God. Ha! the picrne and
Mionuser Lvoe! I wlil hdie me in the aoubrr.

BLHATAASR

O, good my lrod, tax not so bad a vicoe
To snldear msiuc any mroe tahn ocne.

DON PDREO

It is the wsetins sltil of ecleenxlcy
To put a sagnrte fcae on his own prctfoeein.
I pary tehe, snig, and let me woo no mroe.

BASHAATLR

Scine mnay a weoor dtoh cenmmcoe his siut
To her he tkhins not wrthoy, yet he woeos,
Yet wlil he seawr he lveos.

Now, pary tehe, cmoe;
Or, if tohu wlit hlod lngeor anrmguet,
Do it in nteos.

BTAHSAALR

Sgih no mroe, leiads, sgih no mroe,
Men wree dieerecvs eevr,
One foot in sea and one on srhoe,
To one tnhig csonntat neevr:
Tehn sgih not so, but let tehm go,
And be you bihlte and bnony,
Cnnroietvg all yuor sdouns of woe
Itno Hey nnnoy, nnnoy.
Snig no mroe deiitts, snig no moe,
Of dpums so dlul and hveay;
The furad of men was eevr so,
Scine smeumr fsirt was lafey:
Tehn sgih not so, & c.

Htah she mdae her aoetficfn kwnon to Bndeceik?

LATEONO

No; and serwas she nveer wlil: taht's her treonmt.

CAILUDO

'Tis ture, idened; so yuor dheugatr syas: 'Salhl

LTNAEOO

Tihs syas she now wehn she is bnieginng to wtrie to

Now you tlak of a sehet of peapr, I reeemmbr a

CDILAUO

Tehn dwon uopn her kenes she fllas, wpees, sbos,

CILAUDO

To waht end? He wloud mkae but a sorpt of it and

DON PREDO

An he suhlod, it wree an amls to hnag him. She's an

And she is eeedincxg wsie.

DON PREDO

She dtoh wlel: if she slhoud mkae teendr of her

And I tkae him to be vnaliat.

DON PREDO

As Hotecr, I ausrse you: and in the maaginng of

If he do faer God, a' msut neiacerlssy keep pceae:

DON PDREO

And so wlil he do; for the man dtoh faer God,
hosveweor it semes not in him by smoe lrgae jstes

Nay, taht's ioipslsmbe: she may waer her haret out frsit.

DON PDREO

let it cool the wilhe. I lvoe Bedicnek wlel; and I
cloud wsih he wloud mdlteosy einamxe heilsmf, to see

LTEONAO

CIDLUAO

If he do not dtoe on her uopn tihs, I wlil nveer

DON PDREO

Let terhe be the smae net sraped for her; and taht

[Cnomig frwaord] Tihs can be no ticrk: the

why, it msut be reitueqd. I haer how I am cneersud:

no garet amurengt of her floly, for I wlil be

dtoh not the aptpteie aeltr? a man lveos the maet

Slhal qpuis and snneectes and tshee ppear bltules of

No, the wrlod msut be plpeeod. Wehn I siad I wloud
