Stands ready for thee; use them at thy pleasure.
In honest marriage wed her frankly, boy, And if thou getst her, lad, God give thee joy! MOUNTCHENSEY. Then, care, away! let fates my fall pretend, Backt with the favours of so true a friend! FABELL. Let us alone, to bussell for the set; For age and craft with wit and Art have met. I'll make my spirits to dance such nightly jigs Along the way twixt this and Totnam cross, The Carriers jades shall cast their heavy packs, And the strong hedges scarse shall keep them in: The Milk-maids Cuts shall turn the wenches off, And lay the Dossers tumbling in the dust: The frank and merry London prentises, That come for cream and lusty country cheer, Shall lose their way; and, scrambling in the ditches, All night shall whoop and hollow, cry and call, Yet none to other find the way at all. MOUNTCHENSEY. Pursue the project, scholler: what we can do To help indeavour, join our lives thereto! [Exeunt.] |
