Guzman. Thanks, Master Sancho, I’m your servant.
Our bargain’s made, so here’s my hand.
Bertran & Beatrice. Of all you say she’ll prove observant,
Obedient still to your command.
Beatrice. Of her duty I’ve given her a sample;
Before her she has my example.
In her conduct you’ll ne’er find a flaw,
If she copy her mother-in law.
Bertran. Will you ever thus be prating?
Always your perfections stating?
Can’t you bridle up your tongue?
Must your larum still be rung?-
My Lord, our thanks we must express-
Beatrice May Heav’n your noble Lordship bless-
Guzman. I’ve more to do than you can guess-
Beatrice & Bertran. Our thanks how can we ever tell?
Guzman. I wish you both good day-farewell!
(James Bland Burges)
