The things we do!

Nwe [Now] in the villaige by, that fronts the sea,
Som halff league off where stands the monastery,
I have bespoake a place to sojorn her.
There I this evening do intend[58] a feast
Where only wee and som fewe private frends
Have purpost to bee jhoviall. To that place
I prithee, with what pryvacy thou canst,
Conduct her and so add unto our guests.
_Mildewe_. The place I knwe, the tyme is perfect with mee,
And for the feast you saye you have prepared
I shall provyde a stomacke.
_Raphael_. Her caskett, and such other necessaryes
Included in our bargen, bring alonge
Or lett her mayde do'ot for thee.
_Mildewe_. I'l not bate her
A ruff or ragge; no pinne that's usefull too her
Will I keepe backe.
_Raphael_. To this you are witnes, frend.
_Treadway_. I am, Syr.
_Mildewe_. So's my guest.
_Clowne_. And lookes as if with me
Hee only could write witlesse.
_Raphael_. Supper tyme
You will remember, _Mildewe_.
_Mildewe_. Possible
I should forgett to eate of others' cost?
It never was my custom.
_Clowne_. Choake you for't.
_Raphael_.
