2D WATCH. Nay, he shall be put into safe keeping, for my wife shall take charge of him. _Enter_ ALPHONSO _in the Orator's clothes_. MECH. 'Tis well-devis'd, see where he comes; He may not see my presence; think upon't, [_To the Watch._ Your charge is trusty, and of mighty weight. Farewell. [_Exit_ MECHANT. 1ST WATCH. Fear not; come, my hearts, compass him about, and seize on him all at once, like so many ravens on a dead horse. ALPH. Now an eternal sleep, an apoplex, a swoon, Seize on their senses, who in this disguise Shall view or note my vile deformity. I was bewitch'd by spells to my misfortune, Or else star-cross'd with some hag's hellishness. Sure, I said my prayers, ris'd on my right side, Wash'd hands and eyes, put on my girdle last. Sure, I met no spay-footed baker: No hare did cross me, nor no bearded witch, Nor other ominous sign. O, then, why Should I be thus damm'd in the devil's nets? Is't possible this habit that I wear Should become any man? now of my soul, I loathe to see myself, and willingly I would even vomit at my countenance. 1ST WATCH. Stand, sir; we arrest you. ALPH. Arrest me! why, I injure no man but myself. 2D WATCH. You're the more unkind; he that wrongs himself will not stick to wrong the whole world also. 1ST WATCH. Nay, strive not, for we arrest you by virtue of the king's commission. ALPH. Well, my masters, be careful; you may mistake me. 2D WATCH. Indeed it is no marvel, you are so like other men. ALPH. Indeed at this time I am hardly like one of God's making. 1ST WATCH. Faith, and I am sure you are no man of a good tailor's making, you are but pieced-work. ALPH. Well, yet I may hap to prove a nobleman. 2D WATCH. A whoremaster or an unthrift! away with him, and let no man catechise him upon pain of my displeasure. [_Exeunt._ _Enter the_ DUKE OF EPIRE _alone_.
