_Lov_. Speak softly, and I will satisfy thee.
_Fran_. You shall not satisfy me, sir; pay me for what you owe me, for chamber-rent and diet, and many a good thing besides, that shall be nameless. _Lov_. What a stygian woman's this, to talk thus? Hold thy tongue 'till they be gone, or I'll cuckold thy husband. _Fran_. You cuckold him--would you durst cuckold him! I will not hold my tongue, sir. _Bib_. Yonder's my guest; what say you, gentlemen? Shall I call him to go down with us? _Lov_. I must make a loose from her, there's no other way. Save ye, Mr Failer; is your cousin Trice stirring yet? Answer me quickly, sir, is your cousin Trice yet stirring? _Fail_. I'll go and see, sir. Sure the man has a mind to beat me; but I vow to gad I have no mind to be beaten by him. Come away, Burr. Will, you follow us. _Bib_. I'll be with you immediately. [_Exeunt BURR and FAILER_. _Lov_. Who was that with Failer, Will? _Bib_. A man at arms, that's come from Holland. |
