Scene 24.

Enter Liberty, and Wanton, and Surfet.

LIberty.

I am come to tell you, Wanton and Surset, that my Lady is gone to receive the Visit of Monsieur Tranquillities Peace, who is come to see her, and old Matron Temperance is gone to wait upon her; wherefore you may go, for there is none left with the five Senses but Excess.

They run out, then enters the Five Senses in Antick Dresses, to distin∣guish them, but they behave themselves as mad-merry, dancing about in Couples, as Hearing with Wantonness, Idle with Scent, and Ex∣cess with Sigh, and Surfet with Taste, and Touch dances alone by her self, and when they have danced, they go out.

Exeunt.
