FERDINAND But your legs should do it.
ROSALINE Since you are strangers and come here by chance,
We'll not be nice: take hands. We will not dance.
FERDINAND Why take we hands, then?
ROSALINE Only to part friends:
Curtsy, sweet hearts; and so the measure ends.
FERDINAND More measure of this measure; be not nice.
ROSALINE We can afford no more at such a price.
FERDINAND Prize you yourselves: what buys your company?
ROSALINE Your absence only.
FERDINAND That can never be.
ROSALINE Then cannot we be bought: and so, adieu;
Twice to your visor, and half once to you.
FERDINAND If you deny to dance, let's hold more chat.
ROSALINE In private, then.
FERDINAND I am best pleased with that.
[They converse apart]
BIRON White-handed mistress, one sweet word with thee.
PRINCESS Honey, and milk, and sugar; there is three.
BIRON Nay then, two treys, and if you grow so nice,
Metheglin, wort, and malmsey: well run, dice!
There's half-a-dozen sweets.
PRINCESS Seventh sweet, adieu:
Since you can cog, I'll play no more with you.
BIRON One word in secret.
PRINCESS Let it not be sweet.
BIRON Thou grievest my gall.
PRINCESS Gall! bitter.
