I see you go, as slily as you think to steal away: yet I will pray for you; All blessings of the world light on you two, that you may live to be an aged pair. All curses on me if I do not speak what I do wish indeed. If I can speak to purpose to her, I am a villain. Servant away. Sister, will you marry that inconstant man? think you he will not cast you off tomorrow, to wrong a lady thus, looked she like dirt, 'twas basely done. May you near prosper with him. Now God forbid, Alas I was unworthy, so I told him. That was your modesty, too good for him. I would not see your wedding for a world. Choose, choose, come Yonglove. Dry up your eyes forsooth, you shall not think we are all uncivil, all such beasts as these. Would I knew how to give you a revenge. So would not I: No let me suffer truly, that I desire. Pray walk in with me, 'tis very late, and you shall stay all night: your bed shall be no worse than mine; I wish I could but do you right. My humble thanks: God grant I may but live to quit your love. Did your Master send for me Savil? Yes he did send for your worship sir. Do you know the business? Alas Sir I know nothing, nor am employed beyond my hours of eating. My dancing days are done sir. What art thou now then. If you consider me in little, I am with your worship's reverence sir, a rascal: one that upon the next anger of your brother, must raise a sconce by the high way, and sell switches. My wife is learning new sir to weave inkle. What dost thou mean to do with thy children Savill? My eldest boy is half a rogue already, he was borne bursten, and your worship knows, that is a pretty step to men's capassions. My youngest boy I purpose sir to bind for ten years to a Jailer, to draw under him, that he may show us mercy in his function. Your family is quartered with discretion: you are resolved to cant then: where Savil shall your scene lie. beggar's must be no choosers: In every place (I take it) but the stocks. This is your drinking, and your whoring Savil, I told you of it, but your heart was hardened. 'tis true, you were the first that told me of it, I do remember yet in tears, you told me you would have whores, and in that passion sir, you broke our thus; Thou miserable man, repent, and brew three strikes more in a hogshead. 'tis noon ere we be drunk now, and the time can tarry for no man. You're grown a bitter Gentleman. I see misery can can clear your head better than mustard. I'll be a suitor for your keys again sir.
