By JOVE, sir, I'll win ten thousand pound, and send you half. I-fac's no oath. No, no, he did but jest. Go too. Go, thank the Doctor. He's your friend To take it so. I thank his worship. So? Another angel. Must I? Must you? 'slight, What else is thanks? will you be trivial? Doctor, When must he come, for his familiar? Shall I not ha'it with me? O, good sir! There must a world of ceremonies pass, You must be bathed, and fumigated, first; Besides, the Queen of fairy does not rise, Till it be noon. Not, if she danced, tonight. And she must bless it. Did you never see Her royal Grace, yet? Whom? Your aunt of fairy? Not, since she kissed him, in the cradle, Captain, I can resolve you that. Well, see her Grace, whate'er it cost you, for a thing that I know! It will be somewhat hard to compass: but, however, see her. You are made, believe it, If you can see her. Her Grace is a lone woman, And very rich, and if she take a fancy, She will do strange things. See her, at any hand. 'Slid, she may hap to leave you all she has! It is the doctor's fear. How will't be done, then? Let me alone, take you no thought. Do you But say to me, Captain, I'll see her Grace. Captain, I'll see her Grace. Enough. Who's there? anon. (Conduct him forth, by the back way) Sir, against one o'clock, prepare yourself. Till when you must be fasting; only, take Three drops of vinegar, in, at your nose; Two at your mouth; and one, at either ear; Then, bathe your fingers ends; and wash your eyes; To sharpen your five senses; and, cry hum, Thrice; and then buz, as often; and then, come. Can you remember this? I warrant you. Well, then, away. 'Tis, but your bestowing Some twenty nobles, 'mong her grace's servants; And, put on a clean shirt: You do not know What grace her Grace may do you in clean linen. COme in (Good wives, I pray you forbear me, now. Troth I can do you no good, till afternoon) What is your name, say you, ABEL DRUGGER? Yes, sir. A seller of tobacco? Yes, sir. Umh. Free of the Grocers? ay, an't please you. Well— Your business, ABEL? This, an't please your worship, I'm a young beginner, and am building Of a new shop, an't like your worship; just, At corner of a street: (Here's the plot on't.) And I would know, by art, sir, of your worship, Which way I should make my door, by necromancy. And, where my shelves. And, which should be for boxes. And, which for pots. I would be glad to thrive, sir. And, I was wished to your worship, by a gentleman, One Captain FACE, that says you know men's planets, And their good angels, and their bad. I do, If I do see 'em— What! my honest ABEL? Thou art well met, here!
