Fletcher, John
English drama
_Old mer._ Hang bread and supper, let's preserve our mirth,
and we shall never feel hunger, I'll warrant you, let's have a
Catch, boy follow me, come sing this Catch.
_Ho, ho, no body at home, meat, nor drink, nor money ha we
none, fill the pot_ Eedy, _never more need I_.
_Old mer._ So boyes enough, follow me, let's change our place
and we shall laugh afresh. [_Exeunt._
_Wife._ Let him go _George_, a shall not have any countenance
from us, not a good word from any i'th' Company, if I may
strike stroke in't.
_Cit._ No more, a shannot love; but _Nell_, I will have _Rafe_
do a very notable matter now, to the eternal honour and glory
of all _Grocers_: sirrah, you there, boy, can none of you hear?
_Boy._ Sir, your pleasure.
_Cit._ Let _Rafe_ come out on May day in the morning, and speak
upon a Conduit with all his Scarfs about him, and his Feathers,
and his Rings, and his Knacks.
_Boy._ Why sir, you do not think of our plot, what will become
of that then?
_Cit._ Why sir, I care not what become on't, I'll have him come
out, or I'll fetch him out my self, I'll have something done
in honor of the City: besides he hath been long enough upon
Adventures, bring him out quickly, [or if] I come [in] amongst
you--
_Boy._ Well sir, he shall come out, but if our Play miscarry,
Sir you are like to pay for't. [_Exit._
_Cit._ Bring him away then.
_Wife._ This will be brave i'faith: _George_ shall not he dance
the Morrice too for the credit of the Strand.
_Cit._ No sweet-heart it will be too much for the boy. O there
he is _Nell_, he's reasonable well in reparel, but he has not
Rings enough.
_Enter_ Rafe.
