O JUPITER! Captain, he shall have them now, presently: please you to be acceptive, young gentleman. Yes, sir, fear not; I shall accept: I have a pretty foolish humour of taking, if you knew all. Not now, you shall not take, boy. By my truth, and earnest, but he shall, Captain, by your leave. Nay, and a' swear by his truth, and earnest, take it boy: do not make a gent'man forsworn. Well, sir, there is your sword; but thank master MINOS: you had not carried it as you do, else. MINOS is just, and you are knaves, and— What say you, sir? Pass on, my good scoundrel, pass on, I honour thee: But, that I hate to have action with such base rogues as these; you should ha' seen me unrip their noses now, and have sent 'em to the next barbers, to stitching: for, do you see— I am a man of humour, and I do love the varlets, the honest varlets; they have wit, and valour: and are indeed good profitable— errant rogues, as any live in an empire. Dost thou hear, POETASTER? second me. Stand up (MINOS) close, gather, yet, so. Sir (thou shalt have a quarter share, be resolute) you shall, at my request, take MINOS by the hand, here, little MINOS, I will have it so; all friends, and a health: Be not inexorable. And thou shalt impart the wine, old boy, thou shalt do't, little MINOS, thou shalt: make us pay it in our physic. What? we must live, and honour the gods, sometimes; now BACCHUS, now COMUS, now PRIAPUS: every god, a little. What's he, that stalks by, there? boy, PYRGUS, you were best let him pass, sirrah; do, ferret, let him pass, do. 'Tis a player, sir. A player? Call him, call the lousy slave hither: what, will he sail by, and not once strike, or vail to a Man of war? ha? do you hear? you, player, rogue, stalker, come back here: no respect to men of worship, you slave? What, you are proud, you rascal, are you proud? ha? you grow rich, do you? and purchase, you twopenny tear-mouth? you have fortune, and the good year on your side, you stinkard? you have? you have? Nay, sweet Captain, be confined to some reason; I protest I saw you not, sir. You did not? where was your sight, OEDIPUS? you walk with hare's eyes, do you? I'll ha' 'em glazed, rogue; and you say the word, they shall be glazed for you: come, we must have you turn fiddler again, slave, get a base violin at your back, and march in a tawny coat, with one sleeve, to Goose-fair, and then you'll know us; you'll see us then; you will, gulch, you will? Then, will't please your worship to have any music, Captain? Nay, good Captain.
