PRINCE.
I see a good amendment of life in thee,--from praying to purse-taking. FAL. Why, Hal, 'tis my vocation, Hal; 'tis no sin for a man to labour in his vocation. [Enter Pointz.] --Pointz!--Now shall we know if Gadshill have set a match. O, if men were to be saved by merit, what hole in Hell were hot enough for him? This is the most omnipotent villain that ever cried Stand! to a true man. PRINCE. Good morrow, Ned. POINTZ. Good morrow, sweet Hal.--What says Monsieur Remorse? what says Sir John Sack-and-sugar? Jack, how agrees the Devil and thee about thy soul, that thou soldest him on Good-Friday last for a cup of Madeira and a cold capon's leg? PRINCE. Sir John stands to his word,--the Devil shall have his bargain; for he was never yet a breaker of proverbs,--he will give the Devil his due. POINTZ. |
