If she should have precedence of her mistress? Yes. What box is that? The fishwives rings, I think: And th'alewives single money. Is't not DOL? Yes: and the whistle, that the sailors wife Brought you, to know, and her husband were with WARD. we'll wet it tomorrow: and our silver-beakers, And tavern cups. Where be the French petticoats, And girdles, and hangers? Here, i' the trunk, And the bolts of lawn. Is DRVGGERS damask, there? And the tobacco? Yes. Give me the keys. Why you the keys! No matter, DOL: because We shall not open 'em, before he comes. 'Tis true, you shall not open them, indeed: Nor have 'em forth. Do you see? Not forth, DOL. No! No, my smock-rampant. The right is, my master Knows all, has pardoned me, and he will keep 'em, Doctor, 'tis true (you look) for all your figures: I sent for him, indeed. Wherefore, good partners, Both he, and she, be satisfied: for, here Determines the indenture tripartite, Twixt Subtle, DOL, and FACE. All I can do Is to help you over the wall, o' the backside; Or lend you a sheet, to save your velvet gown, DOL. Here will be officers, presently; bethink you, Of some course suddenly to scape the dock: For thither you'll come else. Hark you, thunder. You are a precious fiend! Open the door. DOL, I am sorry for thee i'faith. But hearst thou? It shall go hard, but I will place thee somewhere: Thou shalt ha' my letter to mistress AMO. Hang you— Or madame Caesarean. Pox upon you, rogue, Would I had but time to beat thee. Subtle, Let's know where you set up next; I'll send you A customer, now and then, for old acquaintance: What new course ha'you? Rogue, I'll hang myself: That I may walk a greater devil, than thou, And haunt thee i' the flock-bed, and the buttery. WHat do you mean, my masters? Open your door, Cheaters, bawds, conjurers. Or we'll break it open. What warrant have you? Warrant enough, sir, doubt not: If you'll not open it. Is there an officer, there? Yes, two, or three for failing. Have but patience, And I will open it straight. Sir, ha' you done? Is it a marriage? perfect? Yes, my brain. Off with your ruff, and cloak then, be yourself, sir. Down with the door. 'Slight, ding it open. Hold. Hold gentlemen, what means this violence? Where is this collier? And my Captain FACE? These day-owls. That are birding in men's purses. Madame Suppository. Doxy, my sister. Locusts Of the foul pit. Profane as BAEL, and the Dragon. Worse than the Grasshoppers, or the Lice of Egypt. Good gentlemen, hear me. Are you officers, And cannot stay this violence? Keep the peace. Gentlemen, what is the matter? Whom do you seek? Be patient ANANIAS. I am strong, And will stand up, well girt, against an host, That threaten GAD in exile.
