+Anc.+ And lie with thee too, by this hand, wench. Come, let us have fair weather; thou art mine, and I am thine; there's an end o' th' business. This was but a trick, there's the projector. +Moll.+ O, you're a sweet brother! +Alex.+ And now thou'rt my sweet sister. I know the old man's gone to meet with an old wench that will meet with him,[84] or Jarvis has no juice in his brains; and while I, i' th' meantime, set another wheel agoing at the widow's, do thou soon--about ten, for 'tis to be very conveniently dark--meet this gentleman at the Nag's Head corner, just against Leadenhall. We lie in Lime Street; thither he shall carry thee, accommodate thee daintily all night with Mistress Dorothy, and marry i' th' morning very methodically. +Moll.+ But I have the charge of my father's keys, where all his writings lie. +Anc.+ How all things jump in a just equivalency, To keep thee from the thing of threescore and ten! Didst thou not see my mortgage lately there? +Moll.+ Stay, stay. +Alex.+ A white devil with a red fox-tail in a black box. [_Aside._ +Moll.+ But yesterday my father showed it me, and swears, if I pleased him well, it should serve to jump[85] out my portion. +Anc.+ Prove thine old dad a prophet; bring it with thee, wench. +Moll.+ But now, at's parting, he charged me to have a care to that as to my maidenhead. +Alex.+ Why, if he have thy maidenhead and that into the bargain, thy charge is performed. Away, get thee in, forget not the hour; and you had better fight under Ancient Young's colours than the old man's standard of sixty and ten. +Anc.+[86] Remember this, mad-brain! [_Exeunt._ FOOTNOTES: [65] [Old copy, _ends of old ballets_.] [66] A stanza, with some alterations, of the old ballad of "Fair Rosamond," [printed in Deloney's "Garland of Good-Will."] See Percy's "Reliques," vol. ii. [67] See note on p. 47. [68] The 4º reads _in one shirt_.--_Collier._ [69] A pun on the Latin word _anser_, which signifies a _goose_. [70] To _cool his heels_ is a very common expression, which for some reason, or perhaps no reason, was altered in the edition of 1780, to _cool himself_.--_Collier._ [71] _Ingenious_ and _ingenuous_ were formerly used indiscriminately for each other. [The truth seems to be that ingenuous was merely understood formerly in the sense in which we use it now, and that _ingenious_, on the contrary, had a larger meaning, standing generally for the gifts of the mind or intellect. Old-fashioned people only would say of such an one, "He's an ingenious man," meaning a person of intellectual culture.] [72] The stage direction in the old copy is not very intelligible: _Enter like a gentleman very brave, with Jarvis cloaths in's hand._--_Collier._ [73] The 4º reads _sweet discovered twins_.--_Collier._
