SPEND. Talk! why, let 'em talk; ud's foot! I pay scot and lot, and all manner of duties else, as well as the best of 'em. It may be they understand I keep a whore, a horse, and a kennel of hounds; what's that to them? no man's purse opens for it but mine own; and so long my hounds shall eat flesh, my horse bread, and my whore wear velvet. W. RASH. Why, there spoke a courageous boy. SPEND. Ud's foot! shall I be confined all the days of my life to walk under a pent-house? No, I'll take my pleasure whilst my youth affords it. SCAT. By the cross of these hilts, I'll never play at gleek again, whilst I have a nose on my face: I smell the knavery of the game. SPEND. Why, what's the matter? who has lost? SCAT. Marry, that have I. By the hilts of my sword, I have lost forty crowns in as small time almost as a man might tell it. SPEND. Change your game for dice: we are a full number for Novem.[179] SCAT. With all my heart. Where's Master Ambush the broker? Ninnihammer. NIN. Sir. SCAT. Go to Master Ambush, and bid him send me twenty marks upon this diamond. _Enter_ BUBBLE. NIN. I will, sir. LONG. Look ye, to make us merrier, who comes here? W. RASH. A fresh gamester? Master Bubble, God save you. BUB. _Tu quoque_. STAINES. Save you, sir. BUB. _Et tu quoque_. LONG. Good Master Bubble. BUB. _Et tu quoque_. SCAT. Is your name Master Bubble? BUB. Master Bubble is my name, sir. SCAT. God save you, sir. BUB. _Et tu quoque_. SCAT. I would be better acquainted with you. BUB. And I with you. SCAT. Pray, let us salute again. BUB. With all my heart, sir. LONG. Behold yonder the oak and the ivy, how they embrace. W. RASH. Excellent acquaintance! they shall be the Gemini. BUB. Shall I desire your name, sir. SCAT. Master Scattergood. BUB. Of the Scattergoods of London. SCAT. No indeed, sir. Of the Scattergoods of Hampshire. BUB. Good Master Scattergood. STAINES. Come, gentlemen, here's dice. SCAT. Please you, advance to the table? BUB. No indeed, sir. SCAT. Pray, will you go? BUB. I will go, sir, over the world for your sake, but in courtesy I will not budge a foot. _Enter_ NINNIHAMMER. NIN. Here is the cash you sent me for: and, Master Rash, here is a letter from one of your sisters. SPEND. I have the dice; set, gentlemen. LONG. From which sister? W. RASH. From the madcap, I know by the hand. SPEND. For me, six. OMNES. And six that. STAINES. Nine; 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8: eighteen shillings. SPEND. What's yours, sir? SCAT. Mine's a baker's dozen. Master Bubble, tell your money. BUB. In good faith, I am but a simple gamester, and do not know what to do. SCAT. Why, you must tell your money, and he'll pay you. BUB. My money! I do know how much my money is, but he shall not pay me; I have a better conscience than so: what, for throwing the dice twice? i' faith, he should have but a hard bargain of it. W. RASH. Witty rascal! I must needs away. LONG. Why, what's the matter?
