No: it gives me eyes, To pierce the heart of design against me. I find it now, it was may state was aimed at, A nobler match was sought for, and the hours I lived, grew tedious to you: my compassion Towards you hath rendered me most miserable, And foolish charity undone myself: But there's a Heaven above, from whose just wreak No mists of policy can hide offenders. Force open the doors— O monster, cannibal, Lay hold on him, my son, my son.— O Rochfort, 'Twas you gave liberty to this bloody wolf To worry all our comforts,— But this is No time to quarrel; now give your assistance For the revenge. Call it a fitter name— justice for innocent blood. Though all conspire Against that life which I am weary of, A little longer yet i'll strive to keep it, To show in spite of malice, and their laws, His plea must speed that hath an honest cause. WHy 'tis both most unconscionable, and untimely T' arrest a gallant for his clothes, before He has worn them out: beside you said you asked My name in my Lords bond but for me only, And now you'll lay me up for't. Do not think The taking measure of a customer By a brace of varlets though I rather wait Never so patiently, will prove a fashion Which any Courtier or Innes of court man Would follow willingly. There I believe you. But sir, I must have present moneys, or Assurance to secure me, when I shall.— Or I will see to your coming forth. Plague on't, You have provided for my entrance in: That coming forth you talk of, concerns me. What shall I do? you have done me a disgrace In the arrest, but more in giving cause To all the street, to think I cannot stand Without these two supporters for my arms: Pray you let them lose me: for their satisfaction I will not run away. For theirs you will not, But for your own you would; look to them fellows. Why do you call them fellows? do not wrong Your reputation so, as you are merely A tailor, faithful, apt to believe in Gallants You are a companion at a ten crown supper For cloth of bodkin, and may with one Lark Eat up three manchets, and no man observe you, Or call your trade in question for't. But when You study your debt-book, and hold correspondence With officers of the hanger, and leave swordmen, The learned conclude, the tailor and Sergeant In the expression of a knave are these To be Synonima. Look therefore to it, And let us part in peace, I would be loath You should vndoe yr ee. To let you go Were the next way. But see! here's your old Lord, Let him but give his word I shall be paid, And you are free. 'slid, I will put him to't: I can be but denied: or what say you? His Lordship owing me three times your debt, If you arrest him at my suit, and let me Go run before to see the action entered. 'Twould be a witty jest.
