The generous will disburse coinage for satisfaction of your metaphysical endeavour. Yes, yes, I will discharge all. We make no doubt of that, come into a chamber, ye shall lie down a while, perhaps you'll be stiff anon, than you shall use your legs, the more you strive with it, the better, alas good hearts. Sol, sol, la, Tapster, give attendance Gentlemen, I hope all we are friends, the welkin is sky colour still, and men must grow by degrees, you must pardon me, I must sp— speak my mind. The uttermost of your mind at this time cannot be offensive. The friar was in the sol, sol, draw the other quart, I hope you are not angry gallants? and ye come to my lodging, ye shall be welcome, my Hosts shall bid you welcome: she's a good wench, if I say the word, she will fa— full fill it. Sirrah drawer, for the other that's a sleep, let him so remain: for the Dog let him be bound to a post for his appearance, till I take order for his undoing. The fool and the Dog shall both take rest at your command Sir. Gentlemen, I hope we are all friends, sol, sol, shall's have a catch? I, come come, every one catch a part. hay good boys i'faith, now a three man's song, or the old down a down: well, things must be as they may, fills the other quart, muscadine with an egg is fine, there's a time for all things, bonos nocthus. Good night to you sir. So, now Graccus see, what a polluted lump, A deformed Chaos of unsteady earth Man is, being in this ill kind unmanned, seeming something Bestial man, brutish animal: well 'tis thus decreed He shall be what he seems, that's dead. For what in him shows life, but a breathing air, Which by a free constraint itself engenders In things without life: as twixt a pair of bellows We feel a forcible air, having of itself Force & being, no more is this breathing block, But for his use in kind: give out in some burse or congregation Among the multitude, Philantus death. Let all the customary rights of funeral, His knell or what else be solemnly observed, I'll take order for his winding sheet: And further, to furnish it with further surety, I'll have a potion, that for twenty hours, Shall quench the motion of his breath. Go, spread, let me alone to effect it. I'll sow it I warrant thee, thou talk'st of burse, I have away worth ten on't, I'll first give it out in my Barber's shop, then at my ordinary, and that's as good as a broad: and as I cross Tiber, my waterman shall attach it, he'll send it away with the tide, then let it come out to an Oyster wenches ear, and she'll cry it up and down the streets. Let's first secure him from eyes, and at night he shall be portered to our chamber: so, now away.
