AMIN. _Qui, quae, quod_!
Hence, boist'rous bill! come, gentle rod! Had not grimalkin stamp'd and star'd, Aminadab had little car'd; Or if, instead of this brown bill, I had kept my Mistress Virga still, And he upon another's back, His points untruss'd, his breeches slack; My countenance he should not dash, For I am expert in the lash. But my sweet lass my love doth fly, Which shall make me by poison die. _Per fidem_, I will rid my life Either by poison, sword, or knife. [_Exit_. ACT III., SCENE I. _A Room in Young Arthur's House_. _Enter_ MISTRESS ARTHUR _and_ PIPKIN. MRS ART. Sirrah! when saw you your master? PIP. Faith, mistress, when I last look'd upon him. |
