NURSE
Marry, bachelor,
Her mother is the lady of the house,
And a good lady, and a wise and virtuous.
I nursed her daughter that you talked withal.
I tell you, he that can lay hold of her
Shall have the chinks.

NURSE
Indeed, young man, her mother is the lady of the house. She is a
good, wise, and virtuous lady. I nursed her daughter, whom you were
just talking to. Let me tell you, the man who marries her will
become very wealthy.
