Is that Gorgon, that Medusa come? Hide me, hide me. I warrant you, sir, she will not transform you. Look upon her with a good courage. Pray you entertain her, and conduct your guests in. No? Mistress bride, will you entreat in the ladies? your bridegroom is so shamefaced, here— Will it please your ladyship, madame? With the benefit of your company, mistress. Servant, pray you perform your duties. And glad to be commanded, mistress. How like you her wit, MAVIS. Very prettily, absolutely well. 'Tis my place. You shall pardon me, mistress OTTER. Why I am a collegiate. But not in ordinary. But I am. we'll dispute that within. Would this had lasted a little longer. And that they had sent for the Heralds. Captain OTTER, what news? I have brought my bull, bear, and horse, in private, and yonder are the trumpeters without, and the drum, gentlemen. O, O, Ô. And we will have a rouse in each of'em, anon, for bold Britons, i'faith. O, O, Ô. Fellow, follow, follow. WAs there ever poor bridegroom so tormented? or man indeed? I have not read of the like, in the chronicles of the land. Sure, he cannot but go to a place of rest, after all this purgatory. He may presume it, I think. The spitting, the coughing, the laughter, the sneezing, the farting, dancing, noise of the music, and her masculine, and loud commanding, and urging the whole family, makes him think he has married a fury. And she carries it up bravely. I, she takes any occasion to speak: that's the height on't. And how soberly DAUPHINE labours to satisfy him, that it was none of his plot! And has almost brought him to the faith, i' the article. Here he comes. Where is he now? what's become of him, DAUPHINE? O, hold me up a little, I shall go away i' the jest else. He has got on his whole nest of nightcaps, and locked himself up, i' the top o' the house, as high, as ever he can climb from the noise. I peeped in at a cranny, and saw him fitting over a cross-beam o' the roof, like him o' the saddlers' horse in Fleetstreet, upright: and he will sleep there. But where are your collegiates? Withdrawn with the bride in private. O, they are instructing her i' the college-grammar. If she have grace with them, she knows all their secrets instantly. Methinks, the lady HAUGHTY looks well to day, for all my dispraise of her i' the morning. I think, I shall come about to thee again, TRVE-WIT.
