_Sir Vaug._ Then Mistris Miniuer S. Adams Prickshaft must not |1500|
hit you; Peter take vp all the cloathes at the table and the Plums.
_Enter_ Tucca _and his boy_.
_Tuc._ Saue thee my little worshipfull Harper; how doe yee my little
cracknels? how doe ye?
|1505| _Sir Vau._ Welcome M. Tucca, sit and shoote into your belly some
Suger pellets.
_Tuc._ No, Godamercy Cadwallader, how doe you Horace?
_Ho._ Thankes good Captaine.
_Tu._ Wher’s the Sering thou carriest about thee? O haue I found |1510|
thee my scowring-sticke; what’s my name Bubo?
_Asini._ Wod I were hang’d if I can call you any names but Captaine and
Tucca.
_Tuc._ No Fye’st; my name’s Hamlet reuenge: thou hast been at Parris
garden hast not?
|1515| _Hor._ Yes Captaine, I ha plaide Zulziman there.
_Sir Vau._ Then M. Horace you plaide the part of an honest man.
_Tuc._ Death of Hercules, he could neuer play that part well in’s life,
no Fulkes you could not: thou call’st Demetrius Iorneyman Poet, but
thou putst vp a Supplication to be a poore Iorneyman |1520| Player, and
hadst beene still so, but that thou couldst not set a good face vpon’t:
thou hast forgot how thou amblest (in leather pilch) by a play-wagon,
in the high way, and took’st mad Ieronimoes part, to get seruice among
the Mimickes: and when the Stagerites banisht thee into the Ile of
Dogs, thou turn’dst Bandog |1525| (villanous Guy) & euer since bitest
therefore I aske if th’ast been at Parris-garden, because thou hast
such a good mouth; thou baitst well, read, _lege_, saue thy selfe and
read.
_Hor._ Why Captaine these are _Epigrams_ compos’d on you.
_Tuc._ Goe not out Farding Candle, goe not out, for trusty _Damboys_
|1530| now the deed is done, Ile pledge this Epigram in wine, Ile
swallow it, I, yes.
_Sir Vau._ God blesse vs, will he be drunke with nittigrams now.
_Tuc._ So, now arise sprite ath Buttry; no Herring-bone Ile not pull
thee out, but arise deere Eccho rise, rise deuill or Ile coniure |1535|
thee vp.
_Min._ Good Master Tucca lets ha no coniuring heere.
_Sir Vau._ Vddes bloud you scald gouty Captaine, why come you to set
encombrances heere betweene the Ladies.
_Tuc._ Be not so tart my precious Metheglin, be not (my old |1540|
whore a Babilon, sit fast.)
_Min._ O Iesu if I know where abouts in London Babilon stands.
_Tuc._ Feede and be fat my faire Calipolis, stir not my beauteous
wriggle-tailes, Ile disease none of you, Ile take none of you vp, but
onely this table-man, I must enter him into some filthy |1545| sincke
point, I must.
_Hor._ Captaine, you doe me wrong thus to disgrace me.
_Tuc._ Thou thinkst thou maist be as sawcy with me as my Buffe Ierkin,
to sit vpon me, dost?
_Ho._ Dam me, if euer I traduc’d your name,
|1550| What imputation can you charge me with?
_Sir Vau._ Sblud, I, what cõputations can you lay to his sarge? answer,
or by Sesu Ile canuas your coxcombe Tucky.
_Min._ If they draw sweet hearts, let vs shift for our selues.
