Shall not advance thee, better: no, nor faster. HAs he bit? Has he bit? And swallowed too, my Subtle. I ha' given him line, and now he plays, i'faith. And shall we twitch him? through both the gills. A wench is a rare bait, with which a man No soon's taken, but he straight firks mad. DOL, my lord Wha'ts'hum's sister, you must now Bear yourself statelike. O, let me alone. I'll not forget my race, I warrant you. I'll keep my distance, laugh, and talk aloud; Have all the tricks of a proud scurvy lady, And be as rude 'as her woman. Well said, Sanguine. But will he send his andirons? His jack too; And's iron shooing-horn: I ha' spoke to him. Well, I must not lose my wary gamester, yonder. O Monsieur Caution, that will not be gulled? ay, if I can strike a fine hook into him, now, The Temple-church, there I have cast mine angle. Well, pray for me. I'll about it. What, more gudgeons! DOL, scout, scout; stay FACE, you must go to the door: Pray god, it be my Anabaptist. Who is't, DOL? I know him not. He looks like a gold-end-man. God's so! 'tis he, he said he would send. What call you him? The sanctified Elder, that should deal For Mammon's jack, and andirons! Let him in. Stay, help me of, first, with my gown. Away madam, to your withdrawing chamber. Now, In a new tune, new gesture, but old language. This fellow is sent, from one negotiates with me About the stone, too; for the holy Brethren Of Amsterdam, the exiled Saints: that hope To raise their discipline, by it. I must use him In some strange fashion, now, to make him admire me. WHere is my drudge? Sir. Take away the recipient, And rectify your menstrue, from the phlegma. Then power it, o'the Sol, in the cucurbite, And let 'em macerate, together. Yes, sir. And save the ground? No. Terra damnata Must not have entrance, in the work. Who are you? A faithful Brother, if it please you. What's that? A Lullianist? a Ripley? Filius artis? Can you sublime, and dulcify? calcine? Know you the sapour pontic? sapour slipstick? Or, what is homogene, or heterogene? I understand no heathen language, truly. Heathen, you KNIPPER-DOLING? Is Ars sacra, Or Chrysopoeia, or Spagirica, Or the pamphysic, or panarchic knowledge, A heathen language? Heathen Greek, I take it. How? heathen Greek? All's heathen, but the Hebrew. Sirrah, my varlet, stand you forth, and speak to him Like a Philosopher: Answer, i'the language. Name the vexations, and the martyrizations Of metals, in the work. Sir, Putrefaction, Solution, Ablution, Sublimation, Cohobations, Calcination, Ceration, and Fixation. This is heathen Greek, to you, now? And when comes Vivification? After Mortification. What's Cohobation? 'T is the pouring on Your Aqua Regis, and then drawing him off, To the trine circle of the seven spheres.
