Shall we go in again, MOROSE? Yes, madame. we'll entreat sir DAUPHINE'S company. Stay, good madame, the interview of the two friends, PYLADES and ORESTES: I'll fetch 'em out to you straight. Will you, master TRVE-WIT? I, but noble ladies, do not confess in your countenance, or outward bearing to 'em any discovery of their follies, that we may see, how they will bear up again, with what assurance, and erection. We will not, sir DAUPHINE. Upon our honours, sir DAUPHINE. Sir AMOROUS, sir AMOROUS. The ladies are here. Are they? Yes, but slip out by and by, as their backs are turned, and meet sir JOHN here, as by chance, when I call you. JACK DAW. What say you, sir? Whip out behind me suddenly: and no anger i' your looks to your adversary. Now, now. Noble sir JOHN DAW! where ha' you been? To seek you, sir AMOROUS. Me! I honour you. I prevent you, sir. They have forgot their rapiers! O, they meet in peace, man. Where's your sword, sir JOHN? And yours, sir AMOROUS? Mine! my boy had it forth, to mend the handle, e'en now. And my gold handle was broke too, and my boy had it forth. Indeed, sir? How their excuses meet! What a consent there is, i' the handles? Nay, there is so i' the points too, I warrant you. O me! madame, he comes again, the man man, away. WHat make these naked weapons here, gentlemen? O, sir! here hath like to been murder since you went! A couple of knights fallen out about the bride's favours: we were feign to take away their weapons, your house had been begged by this time else— For what? For manslaughter, sir, as being accessary. And, for her favours? I, sir, heretofore, not present. CLERIMONT, carry 'em their swords, now. They have done all the hurt they will do. Ha' you spke with a lawyer, sir? O, no! there is such a noise i' the court, that they have frighted me home, with more violence than I went! such speaking, and counter-speaking, with their several voices of citations, appellations, allegations, certificates, attachments, intergatories, references, convictions, and afflictions indeed, among the Doctors and Proctors! that the noise here is silence toot! a kind of calm midnight! Why, sir, if you would be resolved indeed, I can bring you hither a very sufficient Lawyer, and a learned Divine, that shall inquire into every least scruple for you. Can you, master TRVE-WIT? Yes, and are very sober grave persons, that will dispatch it in a chamber, with a whisper, or two. Good sir, shall I hope this benefit from you, and trust myself into your hands? Alas, sir! your nephew, and I, have been ashamed, and oft-times mad since you went, to think how you are abused. Go in, good sir, and lock yourself up till! we call you, we'll tell you more anon, sir.
