I will, I will: to COB'S house? doth she haunt COBS? she's gone a'purpose, now, to cuckold me, With that lewd rascal, who, to win her favour, Hath told her all. Come, he's once more gone. Sister, let's lose no time; th'affair is worth it. I Wonder, Captain, what they will say of my going away? ha? Why, what should they say? but as of a discreet gentleman? quick, wary, respectful of natures fair lineaments: and that's all? Why, so! but what can they say of your beating? A rude part, a touch with soft wood, a kind of gross battery used, laid on strongly, borne most patiently: and that's all. I, but, would any man have offered it in Venice? as you say? Tut, I assure you, no: you shall have there your Nobilis, your Gentelezza, come in bravely upon your reverse, stand you close, stand you firm, stand you fair, save your retricato with his left leg, come to the assalto with the right, thrust with brave steel, defy your base wood! But, wherefore do I awake this remembrance? I was fascinated, by JUPITER: fascinated: but I will be vn-witched, and revenged, by law. Do you hear? be't not best to get a warrant, and have him arrested, and brought before justice CLEMENT? It were not amiss, would we had it. Why, here comes his man, let's speak to him. Agreed, do you speak. Save you, sir. With all my heart, sir? Sir, there is one DOWN- RIGHT, hath abused this gentleman, and myself, and we determine to make our amends by law; now, if you would do us the favour, to procure a warrant, to bring him afore your master, you shall be well considered, I assure you, sir. Sir, you know my service is my living, such favours as these, gotten of my master, is his only preferment, and therefore, you must consider me, as I may make benefit of my place. How is that? sir. Faith sir, the thing is extraordinary, and the gentleman may be, of great account: yet, be what he will, if you will lay me down a brace of angels, in my hand, you shall have it, otherwise not. How shall we do, Captain? he asks a brace of angels, you have no money? Not a cross, by fortune. Nor I, as I am a gentleman, but two pence, left of my two shillings in the morning for wine, and reddish: let's find him some pawn. Pawn? we have none to the value of his demand. O, yes. I'll pawn this jewel in my ear, and you may pawn your silk stockings, and pull up your boots, they will ne'er be missed: It must be done, now. Well, an' there be no remedy: I'll step aside, and pull 'em off. Do you hear, sir? we have no store of money at this time, but you shall have good pawns: look you, sir, this jewel, and that gentleman's silk stockings, because we would have it dispatched, ere we went to our chambers.
