he'll make the old Iew believe I was his wives bawd. The slave was borne Pander, his mother was a Midwife, and then he must needs be bawd to set his mother's trade awork. You will groan for this anon sir. I pray you sir sit down, a small banquet sir. Provocatives and whetters on? one lickerous thing draws out another. Who will not swear Venery is a sweet sin now? Bacchus and Venus, two Gods, the Devil is far enough off then. You are deceived sir, he is at your elbow. Is Dunne in the mire? for old acquaintance' sake we'll drag you out sir: you are in travel, I am the son of a Midwife, I'll help to deliver you. It cannot be, I am in a dream. A good belief doth well; were I in your case, I should be passed dreaming: but I'll cast you in a slumber sir. You must be at your sweet meats: cannot Mutton serve your turn, but you must have sauce to it? This Whore hath betrayed me: now she hath wrung what she can out of me, she hangs me up for a dried Neats-tongue. She is an insatiate Whore sir, hath enticed me by the Pander your man: I was chaste before I knew her sir. Believe him not sir, he is a mere Goat, look on his beard else. You may see by his hair he is a man of hot Liver; he came over me with such violence I had not the heart to resist him. I believe you wife, I believe you, and thou shalt justify it to his teeth before the greatest Devil in hell. Rabshake give her a Mittimus, strangle her. Have you forgot your oaths sir? I swore as I was a Turk, and I will cut your throat as I am a Iew. Villain, keep off, I say. You should have said so when time was Mistress. Thou betrayest thyself slave, makest way to thine own destruction. Stop her throat, I say, give no ear to her. I do confess my sin, I have wrongfully betrayed thee. I find myself in bonds for't Lady, it is some comfort yet, that I die not unrevenged. Thou speakest charitably. Is she gone? is her lust satisfied now? Do a woman to death, and she will be satisfied, nothing else will. Now for you M. Gallop: you gave it me with tilting, and I will return your courtesy. Save my life sir, and I will be your slave, sell myself in open market, brand me. That were Lex talion indeed, one mark for another: but it will not serve the turn. Have at you. Ha, ha, ha, how the Ox gores him. 'Sdeath villains, treacherous villains, the plague, pox. He died a true lecher, with the pox in his mouth. Why this was valiantly done sir, in single opposition.
