Scene 12
“Shame on you,” said Dame Partlet, “Shame on you for a coward I tell you straitforwardly that you almost lost my love. I will never love a milk-sop. Whatever we women say, we all wish to have husbands who are brave, wise, and generous, and who know how to hold their tongues. We despite a man who is stupid, or frighted at the least thing that they could ever think of in their whole entire lives. How dare you for shame tell your lady-love that you are afraid of anything?”

“I’m not a coward -”, said Chanticleer, “and I will prove it to you. I will show you that I am brave and wise, and that I know how to hold my tongue. I will reveal that I am not afraid of anything at all, and that I am not a milk-sop.” Partlet said, “I don’t care of what you say! You are not proving to me that you are brave and wise, and that you won’t hold your tongue.
