Boyet. True; 'out,' indeed.

Moth. 'Out of your favours, heavenly spirits, vouchsafe
Not to behold'—

Ber. 'Once to behold,' rogue. 168

Moth. 'Once to behold with your sun-beamed eyes,
—with your sun-beamed eyes'—

Boyet. They will not answer to that epithet;
You were best call it 'daughter-beamed eyes.' 172

Moth. They do not mark me, and that brings me out.

Ber. Is this your perfectness? be gone, you rogue!

[Exit Moth.]

Ros. What would these strangers? know their minds, Boyet:
If they do speak our language, 'tis our will 176
That some plain man recount their purposes:
Know what they would.

Boyet. What would you with the princess?

Ber. Nothing but peace and gentle visitation. 180

Ros. What would they, say they?

Boyet. Nothing but peace and gentle visitation.

Ros. Why, that they have; and bid them so be gone.

Boyet. She says, you have it, and you may be gone. 184

King. Say to her, we have measur'd many miles,
To tread a measure with her on this grass.

Boyet. They say that they have measur'd many a mile,
To tread a measure with you on this grass. 188

Ros. It is not so. Ask them how many inches
Is in one mile: if they have measur'd many,
The measure then of one is easily told.
