Afore heaven Ancient, this would have tickled you, but good Leonoro, and thou be'st a right Clarissimo, let's make'em friends, and drink to one another: 'Sfoot, we have no wine here methinks, where's this Aperner? Here Sir. Have you mended your hand sir. I Captain, and if this please not your taste, either you or I cannot taste a cup of wine. Sounds you're very saucy sir, here Lieutenant, drink to thy Ancient, and void mutinies with your officer, martial law is dangerous. Is he content I should drink to him? He is I warrant thee. Why then Ancient good luck t'ee. Let come Lieutenant, I pledge you. Why so, now my company is cured again, afore 'twas wounded. Come honourable Clarissimo, let's retire to our strength, taste a fresh carouse or two, and then march home with Music. Tapster, call us in some Music. I will sir. Strike up Scrapers, honourable Clarissimo, and thy sweet Adonis, adieu, remember our device at the show soon. I will not fail Captain, farewell t'ee both: come Lionel, now let us try the truth of Madam Temperance, and see if she attend us. I hope by this time she remembers her promise sir. How now Lieutenant, where's my Ancient? Marry Captain you'ave left him casting the reckoning i'th' chimney. Why then his purse and his stomach will be empty together, and so I cashier him; let the scholar report at Padua, that Venice has other manner of learning belongs to it: what does his Continuum & Contiguum here? let'em go to the Ink pot and beware of the wine pot. Fill red cheeked Bacchus, let the Bordeaux grape Skip like la voltos in their swelling veins. Te dan, dan tidle, te dan de dan tidle diddle, etc. O God Captain that I could dance so. He took her by (strike up fiddlers) the lily white hand and he laid her upon the bed. Oh what a spirit have I now? I long to meet a Sergeant in this humour, I would but have one whiff at one of these same pewter buttoned shoulder-clappers, to try whether this chopping knife or their pestles were the better weapons. Here's a blade Boy, it was the old Duke's first predecessors; I'll tell thee what Lieutenant, this sword has dubbed more Knights than thy knife has opened Oysters. Is't possible Captain, and methinks it stands a little. No matter for that, your best metalled blades will stand soonest: so, now we have attained our Mansion house. At which I'll sing a verse shall break the doors. O noble Hercules, let no Stygian lake. Te dan dan tidle, te dan de dan tidle diddle, etc. Farewell scrapers, your reward now shall be that I will not cut your strings nor break your fiddles, via, away. Come Captain, let's enter, I long to see my Mistress, I warrant she's a heavy Gentlewoman for your absence.
