P. 2461
If they do speak our language, ’tis our will
That some plain man recount their purposes.
Know what they would.
BOY ET
What would you with the Princess?
BEROWNE
Nothing but peace and gentle visitation.
ROSALINE
What would they, say they? [180]
BOY ET
Nothing but peace and gentle visitation.
ROSALINE
Why, that they have, and bid them so be gone.
BOY ET
She says you have it and you may be gone.
KING
Say to her, we have measured many miles
To tread a measure with her on this grass. [185]
BOY ET
They say that they have measured many a mile
To tread a measure with you on this grass.
ROSALINE
It is not so. Ask them how many inches
Is in one mile. If they have measured many,
The measure then of one is easily told. [190]
BOY ET
If to come hither you have measured miles,
And many miles, the Princess bids you tell
How many inches doth fill up one mile.
