Nay Cosen, for the service he hath done you tonight, and love of me, pardon him this time. Besides, his charge is in the house, at whose charge he lives. You will both shame and undo him. Well Sir, I shall for this time pardon you, and never beat you more, it before Sir Philip here you will subscribe to this. 'tis nothing but a faithful protestation to do reasonable things as I shall appoint, and not to reveal what I shall trust you withal. If you will covenant on your part in defence of my reputation, to let me rail at you behind your back, I will subscribe▪ Take your pleasure. I am content. Write Sir. In what without a Knave we cannot end, A Knave employed does th' office of a friend. Here Sir, I deliver it as my deed. Here, and I deliver you this again to keep. Indeed you shall for performance of covenants. Oh Sir you are defeated. My sister hath fortified her lodging with locks, bolts, bars, and barricadoes. To what end brother: for what cause? I know not whither it be discontent or wilfulness, that possesses her: but you are to have no entrance there tonight. That she has sufficiently sworn. Good. How! am I denied? To my wish. Pray let me speak with you Sir. At large you shall. For though it be my wedding night you shall be my Bedfellow. Lights there. Good night brother. Good night Captain. How now Governor? what has angered thee? something troubles thy countenance. Your coming, and the privilege of this place hath once more preserved that unworthy Tridewell from the justice of my fury, which should have fallen on him, had he been twinned with me by this light. By this light, Governor? would you have fought by Candle-light. Sir I dare do't by day light, Moonlight, Starlight. Ow'e-light. Any light under the Sun. And that shall be tried well on Tridewell head, dec hear? A good jest! Tried well upon Tridewell. He has wit in his anger. But Governor, laying your anger aside, let me be beholden to your wit in achieving this Northern Lass. Thy acquaintance with her must be the means. Prithee go lie with me, and help me to dream out some course. Nay look now thy fury blows so high thou dost not hear me. Not heare? yet, were I in a Combat as great as ever I myself fought any, I could both hear, and give counsel. Therefore say unto yourself, by the help of your Governor she is your own. O Man past example! But d'ee hear? Here, here. Thou shalt have anything— Come your way's housewife. No more of your whinings, and counterfet tricks. If this Gentleman be not worthy of your love, I am not worthy to be your Uncle, directly. Alas, what mean you sir. Accept of him, you accept of me. if you refuse him you deny me directly.
