Pr'ythee, pr'ythee, wench, thou seest I know the world a little; almost as much at thirty-two, as thou dost at sixteen. Remember that! I rose from the window, and walking to the other end of the room, Beat me again, if you please, said I, but I must tell your ladyship, I scorn your words, and am as much married as your ladyship!

Presto was the dog that lay under the table while we talked."
This, I trust, will never be your condition. Why so wan and pale, fond lover? Do you remember Sir John Suckling's Song? 'Why so wan and pale, fond lover; Pr'ythee why so pale? Will, if looking well can't move her, Looking ill prevail? Pr'ythee why so pale? 'Why so dull and mute, young sinner; Pr'ythee why so mute? Will, if speaking well can't win her, Saying nothing do 't?

"I pr'ythee, peace, man As a compulsitor, therefore, of payment, that being a thing to which no debtor is naturally inclined, as I have too much reason to warrant from the experience I have had with my own, we had first the letters of four forms, a sort of gentle invitation, by which our sovereign lord the king, interesting himself, as a monarch should, in the regulation of his subjects' private affairs, at first by mild exhortation, and afterwards by letters of more strict enjoinment and more hard compulsion What do you see extraordinary about that bird, Hector? it's but a seamaw."
"I did not think myself so rude, Myles. Pr'ythee forgive me, cousin. Nay, look not so ungently upon me! Here's my hand on 't I am sorry."

I pr'ythee, thief, think on't, and turn betime; Few go to life who do the gallows climb. My little bird, how canst thou sit And sing amidst so many thorns? Let me a hold upon thee get, My love with honour thee adorns.
