My cosin sir? alas; there's so much goodness In him, I must not think he could be tempted To wear such guilt about him. Good sir have me Unto a surgeon; and that gentleman Shall give you satisfaction, ere you give Him a release. Now me sall be discover, and hang for thief. we' I carry him to one Hortens house, and fetch a surgeon thither: 'tis close by. One call my friend justice Ferret; and post you over to Mistress Bride's father: his presence at the examination of these circumstances will be needful. Till truth satisfies my desires I am in torment. I have a new design. And till I see Theophilus. Which I hope ne'er will be. Sir we are troublesome: the accident Hath made a subject for your charity As well as for your art; and neither shall Be unrewarded. But may I presume he'll need no other surgeon? Doubt it not sir. The wound's but slight; were it more dangerous, The simples that I have applied would cure it According to the first intention As surgeons call it. Truly sir my neighbour is very skilful; he cured my little shock of the mange so perfectly, that it hath famed him through the neighbourhood for an excellent dog-leech. I owe much to your commendation Mrs Ferret. Truly neighbour 'tis not so much worth. I dare be sworn it is not. I dare not with much confidence rely Upon this man's endeavours. Would I had A surgeon here, whose judgement and experience Might give me further satisfaction. Is the French gentleman disposed of safely? I have confined him to a chamber sir, A too delightful prison. He may feast His eyes with rarities. I think you are Owner of more than all the town besides. 'Tis my affected riches. I have some You shall command sir. I'll have gratitude, And something to exchange. This accident May bring me in a purchase: Pray neighbour let's see the late giants boot, and the dwarfs shoe. Pretty extremes no doubt. Extremes sir! methinks their differences should make a very good mean. Suppose the one was a great drinker or wencher; the other must needs be a little one. What the one wasted in boots the other saves in shoes. But I'll in to the wounded gentleman, and help to talk away his pain. By no means: sleep would give him more ease, and prevent a distraction; which he seems to occasion some fear of by his often digressions and interruptions of discourse. Indeed sir I am troubled when I weigh The accident and circumstances of it. Nor can we urge him to give satisfaction With any positive truth, but all his answers Are careless and imperfect; many times The second contradicts the first: and then he'll name Theophilus, as if he were The mischief's worker. But of all kind friends Your strange relations have begot most wonder. The roarers, and Theophilus brave act; My cousins not revealing my intents; The maid left with the Merchants, and the Monsieurs Stealing away, then found with my hurt kinsman, What to conclude from these—
