ACT III
SCENE 5 - A garden.
Enter GLOUCESTER and JAQUENETTA
GLOUCESTER
I have promised to study three years with the king.
JAQUENETTA
You may do it in an hour, sir.
GLOUCESTER
Impossible.
JAQUENETTA
How easy it is to put 'years' to the word 'three,' and study 'three years' in two
words, the dancing horse will tell you.
GLOUCESTER
White-handed mistress, one sweet word with thee.
JAQUENETTA
Honey, and milk, and sugar; there is three.
GLOUCESTER
One word in secret.
JAQUENETTA
Let it not be sweet.
GLOUCESTER
Thou grievest my gall.
JAQUENETTA
Gall! bitter.
GLOUCESTER
Therefore meet.
Exeunt
Forth!
