heare? you, player, rogue, stalker, come backe here: no respect to men of worship, you slaue? What, you are proud, you rascall, are you proud? ha? you grow rich, doe you? and purchase, you two-penny teare-mouth? you haue fortune, and the good yeere on your side, you stinkard? you haue? you haue?
HIST.
Nay, sweet Captaine, be confin'd to some reason; I protest I saw you not, sir.
TVCC.
You did not? where was your sight, OEDIPVS? you walke with hares eies, doe you? I'le ha' 'hem glas'd, rogue; and you say the word, they shall be glaz'd for you: come, we must haue you turne fiddler againe, slaue, 'get a base violin at your backe, and march in a tawnie coate, with one sleeue, to Goose-faire, and then you'll know vs; you'll see vs then; you will, gulch, you will? Then, wil't please your worship to haue any musicke, Captaine?
HIST.
Nay, good Captaine.
TVCC.
What? doe you laugh, Owleglas? death, you perstemptuous varlet, I am none of your fellowes: I haue commanded a hundred and fif∣tie such rogues, I.
1. PYR.
I, and most of that hundred and fiftie, haue beene leaders of a legion.
HIST.
If I haue exhibited wrong, I'le tender satisfaction, Captaine.
TVCC.
Sai'st thou so, honest vermine? Giue me thy hand, thou shalt make vs a supper one of these nights.
HIST.
When you please, by IOVE, Captaine, most willingly.
TVCC.
Doest thou 'sweare? to morrow then; say, and hold slaue. There are some of you plaiers honest gent'man-like scoundrels, and suspe∣cted to ha' some wit, as well as your poets; both at drinking, and brea∣king of iests: and are companions for gallants. A man may skelder yee, now and then, of halfe a dozen shillings, or so. Doest thou not know that PANTALABVS there?
HIST.
No, I assure you, Captaine.
TVCC.
Goe, and bee acquainted with him, then; hee is a gent'man, parcell-poet, you slaue: his father was a man of worship, I tell thee. Goe, he pens high, loftie, in a new stalking straine; bigger then halfe the rimers i' the towne, againe: he was borne to fill thy mouth, MINOTAVRVS, he was: hee will teach thee to teare, and rand, Rascall, to him, cherish his muse, goe: thou hast fortie, fortie, shillings, I meane, stinkard, giue him in earnest, doe, he shall write for thee, slaue. If hee pen for thee once, thou shalt not need to trauell, with thy pumps full of grauell, any more, after a blinde iade and a hamper: and stalke vpon boords, and barrell heads, to an old crackt trumpet—
HIST.
Troth, I thinke I ha' not so much about me, Captaine.
TVCC.
It's no matter: giue him what thou hast: Stiffe ••oe, I'le giue my word for the rest: though it lacke a shilling, or two, it skils not: Goe, thou art an honest shifter, I'le ha' the statute repeal'd for thee. MINOS,
