SCENEⅤ The Same．A Street
［Enter SPEED and LAUNCE．］
SPEED Launce！By mine honesty，welcome to Milan！
LAUNCE Forswear not thyself，sweet youth，for I am not welcome．I reckon this always，that a man is never undone till he be hanged，nor never welcome to a place till some certain shot be paid and the hostess say‘Welcome！’
SPEED Come on，you madcap，I＇ll to the alehouse with you presently；where，for one shot of five pence，thou shalt have five thousand welcomes．But，sirrah，how did thy master part with Madam Julia？
LAUNCE Marry，after they closed in earnest，they parted very fairly in jest．
SPEED But shall she marry him？
LAUNCE No．
SPEED How then？Shall he marry her？
LAUNCE No，neither．
SPEED What，are they broken？
LAUNCE No，they are both as whole as a fish．
SPEED Why，then，how stands the matter with them？
LAUNCE Marry，thus；when it stands well with him，it stands well with her．
SPEED What an ass art thou！I understand thee not．
LAUNCE What a block art thou，that thou canst not！My staff understands me．
SPEED What thou sayest？
LAUNCE Ay，and what I do too；look thee，I＇ll but lean，and my staff understands me．
SPEED It stands under thee，indeed．
LAUNCE Why，stand－under and under－stand is all one．
