_Duke._ Sir, the Duke is marvellous little beholding to 155 your reports; but the best is, he lives not in them.
_Lucio._ Friar, thou knowest not the Duke so well as I do: he's a better woodman than thou takest him for.
_Duke._ Well, you'll answer this one day. Fare ye well.
_Lucio._ Nay, tarry; I'll go along with thee: I can tell 160 thee pretty tales of the Duke.
_Duke._ You have told me too many of him already, sir, if they be true; if not true, none were enough.
_Lucio._ I was once before him for getting a wench with child. 165
_Duke._ Did you such a thing?
_Lucio._ Yes, marry, did I: but I was fain to forswear it; they would else have married me to the rotten medlar.
_Duke._ Sir, your company is fairer than honest. Rest you well. 170
_Lucio._ By my troth, I'll go with thee to the lane's end: if bawdy talk offend you, we'll have very little of it.
Nay, friar, I am a kind of burr; I shall stick. [_Exeunt._
