Nay, fie, you are to blame. Hark ! somebody comes ! haxnis off, I pray ! I'll pinch, I'll scratch, I'll spurn, I'll run away. Nay, faith, you strive in vain, you shall not speed You mar my ruff, you hurt my back, I bleed, Look how the door stands ope, somebody sees ! Your buttons scratch, in faith you hurt my knees.
