O Sir, ha' you ta'en soil, here? it's well, a man may reach you, after 3. hours running, yet! what an unmerciful companion art thou, to quit thy lodging, at such ungentle manly hours? None but a scattered covey of Fiddlers, or one of these Rag-rakers in dunghills, or some Marrowbone man at most, would have been up, when thou wert gone abroad, by all description. I pray thee what ailest thou, thou canst not sleep? hast thou Thorns i'thy eyelids, or Thistles i'thy bed. I cannot tell: It seems you had neither i'your feet; that took this pain to find me. Not, and I had, all the Lime-hounds o'the City should have drawn after you, by the sent rather, Mr, Iohn Little-wit! God save you, Sir. 'Twas a hot night with some of us, last night, Iohn: shall we pluck a hair o'the same Wolf, to day, Proctor Iohn? Do you remember Master Quarlous, what we discoursed on, last night? Not I, Iohn: nothing that I either discourse or do, at those times I forfeit all to forgetfulness. Not? not concerning Win, look you: there she is, and dressed as I told you she should be: hark you Sir, had you forgot? By this head, I'll beware how I keep you company, Iohn, when I drunk, and you have this dangerous memory! that's certain. Why Sir? Why? we were all a little stained last night, sprinkled with a cup or two, and I agreed with Proctor Iohn here, to come and do somewhat with Win (I know not what 'twas) to day; and he puts me in mind on't, now; he says he was coming to fetch me: before Truth, if you have that fearful quality, Iohn, to remember, when you are sober, Iohn, what you promise' drunk, Iohn; I shall take heed of you, Iohn. For this once, I am content to wink at you, where's your wife? come hither Win. Why, Iohn! do you see this, Iohn? look you! help me, Iohn. O Win, fie, what do you mean, Win! Be womanly, Win; make an outcry to your mother, Win? Master Quarlous is an honest Gentleman, and our worshipful good friend, Win: and he is Master Win-wife's friends, too: And Master Win-wife comes a Suitor to your mother Win; as I told you before, Win, and may perhaps, be our Father, Win, they'll do you no harm, Win, they are both our worshipful good friends. Master Quarlous! you must know Mr. Quarlous, Win; you must not quarrel with Master Quarlous, Win. Not, we'll kiss again and fall in. Yes, do good Win. I'faith you are a fool, Iohn. A Fool-john she calls me, do you mark that, Gentlemen? pretty littlewit of velvet! a fool- Iohn! She may call you an Apple- Iohn, if you use this. Pray thee forbear, for my respect somewhat.
