_Ger_. Now sweare him.
_Hig_. You are welcom Brother.
_All_. Welcom, welcom, welcom, but who shall have the keeping
Of this fellow?
_Hub_. Thank ye friends,
And I beseech ye, if you dare but trust me;
For if I have kept wilde doggs and beastes for wonder,
And made 'em tame too: give into my custody
This roaring rascal I shall hamper him,
With all his knacks and knaveryes, and I feare me
Discover yet a further villany in him;
O he smells ranck 'oth rascall.
_Ger_. Take him to thee,
But if he scape--
_Hub_. Let me be ev'n hang'd for him,
Roome Sir, I'le tye ye to my leash.
_Hem_. Away Rascall.
_Hub_. Be not so stubborne: I shall swindge ye soundly,
And ye play tricks with me.
_Ger_. Now sweare him.
_Hig_. I crowne thy nab, with a gag of benbouse,
And stall thee by the salmon into the clowes,
To mand on the pad, and strike all the cheates;
To mill from the Ruffmans, commision and slates,
Twang dell's, i'the stiromell, and let the Quire Cuffin:
And Herman Beck strine, and trine to the Ruffin.
_Ger_. Now interpret this unto him.
_Hig_. I poure on thy pate a pot of good ale,
And by the Rogues oth a Rogue thee install:
To beg on the way, to rob all thou meetes;
To steale from the hedge, both the shirt and the sheets:
And lye with thy wench in the straw till she twang,
Let the Constable, Justice, and Divell go hang.
_Ger_. So, now come in,
But ever have an eye Sir, to your prisoner.
_Hub_. He must blinde both mine eyes, if he get from me.
