I am innocent here, and on my life I swear My ends are good. On my soul so are mine To Margaret: but leave both to the event And since this friendly privacy does serve But as an offered means unto ourselves To search each other farther; you having shown Your care of me, ay, my respect to you; Deny me not, but still in chaste words Madam An afternoon's discourse. So I shall hear you. Undone, undone! this was your counsel, Froth. Mine! I defy thee, did not master Marrall (He has marred all I am sure) strictly command us (On pain of Sir Giles Overreach displeasure) o turne the Gentleman out of dores? 'Tis true But now he's his Uncle's darling, and has got Master justice Greedy (since he filled his belly) At his commandment, to do any thing; Woe, woe to us. He may prove merciful. Troth, we do not deserve it at his hands: Though he knew all the passages of our house; As the receiving of stolen goods, and bawdry When he was rogue Welborne, no man would believe him, And then his information could not hurt us. But now he is right Worshipful again, Who dares but doubt his testimony? methinks I see thee Froth already in a cart For a close Bawd, thine eyes cu'n pelted out With dirt, and rotten eggs, and my hand hissing (If I scape the halter) with the letter R. Printed upon it. Would that were the worst: That were but nine days' wonder, as for credit We have none to lose; but we shall lose the money He owes us and his custom, there's the hell on't. He has summoned all his Creditors by the drum, And they swarm about him like so many soldiers On the pay day, and has found out such a new way To pay his old debts, as 'tis very likely He shall be chronicled for it. He deserves it More than ten Pageants. But are you sure his Worship Comes this way to my Ladies? Yes I hear him. Be ready with your petition and present it To his good Grace. How's this! petitioned too? But note what miracles, the payment of A little trash, and a rich suit of clothes Can work upon these Rascals. I shall be I think prince Welborne. When your Worships married You may be, I know what I hope to see you. Then look thou for advancement. To be known Your worship's Bailiff is the mark I shoot at. And thou shalt hit it. Pray you Sir dispatch These needy followers, and for my admittance Provided you'll defend me from Sir Giles. Whose service I am weary of I'll say something You shall give thanks for. Fear me not Sir Giles Who? Tapwell? I remember thy wife brought me Last new year's tide, a couple of fat turkeys.
