HAD. Nay, prythee, do not think so. If I do not marry thee this instant night, may I never enjoy breath a minute after! By heaven, I respect not his pelf thus much, but only that I may have wherewith to maintain thee. REB. O, but to rob my father, though he be bad, the world will think ill of me. HAD. Think ill of thee! Can the world pity him that ne'er pitied any? besides, since there is no end of his goods nor beginning of his goodness, had not we as good share his dross in his lifetime, as let controversy and lawyers devour it at his death? REB. You have prevailed. At what hour is't you intend to have entrance into his chamber? HAD. Why, just at midnight; for then our apparition will seem most fearful. You'll make a way that we may ascend up like spirits? REB. I will; but how many have you made instruments herein? HAD. Faith, none but my cousin Lightfoot and a player. REB. But may you trust the player? HAD. O, exceeding well. We'll give him a speech he understands not. But, now I think on't, what's to be done with your father's man Peter? REB. Why, the least quantity of drink will lay him dead asleep. But hark, I hear my father coming. Soon in the evening I'll convey you in. HAD. Till when, let this outward ceremony be a true pledge of our inward affections. [_Kisses her. Exit_ REBECCA.] Lo, this goes better forward than the plantation in Virginia: but see, here comes half the West Indies, whose rich mines this night I mean to be ransacking. _Enter_ HOG, LIGHTFOOT, _and_ PETER. HOG. Then you'll seal for this small lordship, you say? To-morrow your money shall be rightly told up for you to a penny. LIGHT. I pray, let it, and that your man may set contents upon every bag. HAD. Indeed, by that we may know what we steal, without labour for the telling on't over. [_Aside._] How now, gentlemen, are ye agreed upon the price of this earth and clay? HOG. Yes, faith, Master Haddit, the gentleman your friend here makes me pay sweetly for't; but let it go, I hope to inherit heaven, if it be but for doing gentlemen pleasure. HOG. Peter! P. SER. Anon, sir. HOG. I wonder how Haddit came by that gay suit of clothes; all his means were consumed long since. P. SER. Why, sir, being undone himself, he lives by the undoing, or (by Lady!) it may be by the doing, of others--or peradventure both. A decayed gallant may live by anything, if he keep one thing safe. HOG. Gentlemen, I'll to the scrivener's, to cause these writings to be drawn. LIGHT. Pray do, sir; we'll now leave you till the morning. HOG. Nay, you shall stay dinner; I'll return presently. Peter, some beer here for these worshipful gentlemen. [_Exeunt_ HOG _and_ PETER. HAD. We shall be bold, no doubt; and that, old penny-father, you'll confess by to-morrow morning. LIGHT. Then his daughter is certainly thine, and condescends to all thy wishes?
