BUB. Why, that does you no harm. Gervase--master, I should say--some compassion. STAINES. Serjeants, come back with him. Look, sir, here is Your livery; If you can put off all your former pride, And put on this with that humility That you first wore it, I will pay your debts, Free you of all encumbrances, And take you again into my service. BUB. Tenterhook, let me go. I will take his worship's offer without wages, rather than come into your clutches again: a man in a blue coat may have some colour for his knavery; in the Compter he can have none. SIR LIONEL. But now, Master Scattergood, what say you to this? SCAT. Marry, I say, 'tis scarce honest dealing, for any man to coneycatch another man's wife: I protest we'll not put it up. STAINES. No! which _we_? SCAT. Why, Gertrude and I. STAINES. Gertrude! why, she'll put it up. SCAT. Will she? GERA. Ay, that she will, and so must you. SCAT. Must I? GERA. Yes, that you must. SCAT. Well, if I must, I must; but I protest I would not, But that I must: so _vale, vale: et tu quoque_. [_Exit._ SIR LIONEL. Why, that's well said: Then I perceive we shall wind up all wrong. Come, gentlemen, and all our other guests, Let our well-temper'd bloods taste Bacchus' feasts; But let us know first how these sports delight, And to these gentlemen each bid good night.[217] W. RASH. Gentles, I hope, that well my labour ends; All that I did was but to please my friends. GERA. A kind enamoret I did strive to prove, But now I leave that and pursue your love. GERT. My part I have performed with the rest, And, though I have not, yet I would do best. STAINES. That I have cheated through the play, 'tis true: But yet I hope I have not cheated you. JOYCE. If with my clamours I have done you wrong, Ever hereafter I will hold my tongue. SPEND. If through my riot I have offensive been, Henceforth I'll play the civil citizen. WID. Faith, all that I say is, howe'er it hap, Widows, like maids, sometimes may catch a clap. BUB. To mirth and laughter henceforth I'll provoke ye, If you but please to like of Green's _Tu quoque_.[218] FOOTNOTES: [153]: See note 76 to "The Ordinary," [vol. xii.] [154] [_i.e._, shillings.
