There is more?
gpt
No more have I written, said young Shakespeare, who was indeed the reader of the poetry;
human
Then I pr'ythee, good William, said Froth,
gpt
Has my verse, then, so much pleased you?
human
It hath more than pleased, it has delighted me, said Froth;
gpt
Two verses you shall have, said Shakespeare, smiling,
human
Even as the sun with purple-coloured face--
gpt
interrupted Froth,
human
Go to, go to, said the host;
gpt
I cry you mercy, good William, said Froth;

human
That widow must be worthy looking on too, said Froth;
gpt
How so?
human
In escaping from thee,

Nay, the evil-favoured old hag, said Careless;
human
Had she given thee all she possessed, said Froth,
gpt
Nay, said Shakespeare,
