Sir you shall see that: will you get you out? Yes, that, that shall correct your boy's tongue, Dare you fight? I will stay here still. O their things are out, help, help for God's sake, Madam; Iesus they foin at one another, Madam, why who is within there? Who breeds this rudeness? This uncivil fellow: He says he comes from sea, where I believe H'as purged away his manners. What of him? Why he will rudely, without once God bless you, Press to your privacies, and no denial Must stand betwixt your person and his business; I let go his ill language. Sir, have you business with me? madam some I have, But not so serious to pawn my life for't: If you keep this quarter, and maintain about you Such Knights o'th' Sun as this is, to defy Men of employment to ye, you may live, But in what some? Pray stay Sir, who h'as wronged you? Wrong me he cannot, though uncivilly He flung his wild words at me: But to you I think he did no honour, to deny The haste I come withal, a passage to you, Though I seem course. Excuse me, gentle sir, 'twas from my knowledge, And shall have no protection. And to you Sir, You have showed more heat than wit, and from yourself Have borrowed power, I never gave you here, To do these wild unmanly things: my house Is no blind street to swagger in: and my favours Not doting yet on your unknown deserts So far, that I should make you Master of my business: My credit yet, stands fairer with the people Then to be tried with swords: And they that come To do me service, must not think to win me With hazard of a murder: If your love Consist in fury, carry it to the Camp, And there in honour of some common mistress, Shorten your youth. I pray be better tempered, And give me leave a while Sir. You must have it. Now Sir, your business? First I thank you for schooling this young fellow, Whom his own follies, which is prone enough Daily to fall into, if you but frown, Shall level him away to his repentance: Next I should rail at you, but you are a woman, And anger lost upon you. Why at me Sir? I never did you wrong, for to my knowledge This is the first sight of you. You have done that, I must confess I have the least curse in, Because the least acquaintance: But there be (If there be honour in the minds of men) Thousands, when they shall know what I deliver, (As all good men must share in't) will to shame Blast your black memory. How is this good Sir? 'tis that, that if you have a soul will choke it: Y'ave killed a Gentleman: I killed a Gentleman?
