_Rach_. Harke, brother, harke, me thinkes I here on[12] call.
_Mer_. Go downe and see; pray God my man keep close; If he prove long-tongd then my daies are done. The boy must die, there is no helpe at all; For on his life my verie life dependes. Besides I cannot compasse what I would, Unlesse the boy be quicklie made away. This that abridgde his haplesse maisters daies, Shall leave such sound memorials one [_sic_] his head, That he shall quite forget who did him harme, Or train'd his master to this bloodie feast.-- Why, how now, _Rachell_? who did call below? _Enter Rachell_. _Rach_. A maide that came to have a pennie loafe. _Mer_. I would a pennie loafe cost me a pound, Provided _Beeches_ boy had eate his last. _Rach_. Perchance the boy doth not remember you. _Mer_. It may be so,--but ile remember him. [_To people_. And send him quicklie with a bloodie scrowle, To greete his maister in another world. _Rach_. Ile go to _Beeches_ on a faind excuse, To see if he will ask me for his maister. |
