FERDINAND
Hear me, dear lady; I have sworn an oath.
PRINCESS
Our Lady help my lord! he’ll be forsworn.
FERDINAND
Not for the world, fair madam, by my will.
PRINCESS
Why, will shall break it; will and nothing else.
FERDINAND
Your ladyship is ignorant what it is.
PRINCESS
Were my lord so, his ignorance were wise,
Where now his knowledge must prove ignorance.
I hear your grace hath sworn out house-keeping:
Tis deadly sin to keep that oath, my lord,
And sin to break it.
