_Host._ These be now your civil wars: didst mark? he said all should have been paid. Now, with them that were here, there were some fourscore and ten quarts that might have been drunk, had they staid an hour or so; and now to ride off thirsty to be killed. _Will._ Well, it might have been worse, for they might have drunk it, and departed in that military haste which precludes payment. _Host._ Ay! ay! thou wilt have thy jest. [_Exit into house._] [_Enter ARTHUR WALTON, L._] _Arth._ Where hast thou been so long? [_To WILLIAM._] _Will._ Truly at the burial of one Generosity! _Arth._ And what manner of person was he? _Will._ A fool in this world, but an angel of light in the next; if the word of God be true, which I remember to have heard in my childhood in the church there. _Arth._ And how was he buried? _Will._ About the setting of the sun, when he had no more to give. I saw none in the garb of mourning, though many wore long faces, because their gain was stopped. _Arth._ And what wrote they on his tomb? _Will._ Other names than his own. Extravagance, folly, imprudence, were the best terms there. One whom he had released from gaol, carved madness with a flint stone. There was but one would have painted his true name, but his tears defaced it--a humble dependent, who had been faithful to him, but whom he regarded not, being accustomed to his services. _Arth._ Out! rogue! I have humoured thee too long, leave thy rascal allegory. Hast seen my brother? _Will._ Ay, and thy cousin. She is a rare girl, and remembereth thee well. Thy brother is not attached to thee. He will give thee five hundred pounds if thou wilt swear to quit England for ever. He abuseth thee finely, saith thou art a debauched vagabond, which is an insult to me thy serving companion, whom he threatened with the stocks. Wilt thou not slay him? _Arth._ O monstrous! Can it be? Fool that I have been. My father, thou wert right, indeed! _Will._ Thy cousin would see thee. She is miserable about something, and will be here presently. _Arth._ I will wither him with my reproaches.
