Lau. What a blocke art thou, that thou canst not?
Lau. My staffe vnderstands me?
Spee. Spee.
Spee. What thou saist?
Lau. I, and what I do too: looke thee, Ile but leane,
Lau. and my staffe vnderstands me.
Spee. It stands vnder thee indeed.
Lau. Why, stand‑vnder: and vnder‑stand is all one.
Spee. But tell me true, wil't be a match?
Lau. Aske my dogge, if he say I, it will: if hee say
Lau. no, it will: if hee shake his taile, and say nothing, it
Lau. will.
Spee. The conclusion is then, that it will.
