00 I do not believe half of this statement. 01 u 00 Methinks the lady will morpheth too much. 02 u 02 br

00 'Me thinks' should be separated I suppose. But what is the meaning of the underlined part? Any ideas? Take into consideration that there might be typos. And which half of this statement is so "impossible"? But that's not exactly the point. Particularly I'm interested in the meaning of the underlined words. I'll be extremely grateful if someone enlightens me. Many thanks in advance. 0-
