_Take a little Failer,
And throw him to the jailor; And there let him lie, Till he has paid his tailor._ _Burr_. You are very smart upon one another, gentlemen. _Fail_. This is nothing between us; I use to tell him of his title, _Fiery facias_; and his setting dog, that runs into ale-houses before him, and comes questing out again, if any of the woots, his customers, be within. _Bib_. I'faith 'tis true; and I use to tell him of his two capon's tails about his hat, that are laid spread-eaglewise to make a feather; I would go into the snow at any time, and in a quarter of an hour I would come in with a better feather upon my head; and so farewel, sir; I have had the better on you hitherto, and for this time I am resolved to keep it. [_Exit_ BIBBER. _Fail_. The rogue's too hard for me; but the best on't is, I have my revenge upon his purse. _Enter_ ISABELLA. _Isa_. Came not Sir Timorous this way, gentlemen? He left us in the garden, and said he would look out my Lord Nonsuch, to make his peace with him. |
