_Sir Vau._ Capten Tucky, I will pay back her 5. £. (vnles you be damn’d
in lyes) & hold you, I pray you pocket vp this; by the |1760| crosse a
this sword & dagger, Capten you shall take it.
_Tuc._ Dost sweare by daggers? nay then Ile put vp more at thy hands
then this.
_Flash._ Is the fray done sir?
_Sir Vau._ Done Peter, put vp your smeeter.
|1765| _Tuc._ Come hether, my soure-fac’d Poet; fling away that
beard-brush Bubo, casheere him and harke: Knight attend: So, that
raw-head and bloudy-bones Sir Adam, has fee’d another brat (of those
nine common wenches) to defend baldnes and to raile against haire:
he’ll haue a fling at thee, my noble Cock-Sparrow.
|1770| _Sir Vau._ At mee? will hee fling the cudgels of his witte at
mee?
_Tuc._ And at thy button-cap too; but come, Ile be your leader, you
shall stand, heare all, & not be seene; cast off that blew coate, away
with that flawne, and follow, come.
_Exit._
_Hor._ Bubo, we follow Captaine.
|1775| _Sir Va._ Peter, leaue comming behinde me, I pray any longer,
for you and I must part Peter.
_Flash._ Sounds Sir, I hope you will not serue me so, to turne me away
in this case.
_Sir Vau._ Turne you into a fooles coate; I meane I will go _solus_,
|1780| or in solitaries alone; ounds y-are best giue better words, or
Ile turne you away indeed; where is Capten Tucky? come Horace; get you
home Peter.
_Flash._ Ile home to your cost, and I can get into the Wine-Seller.
_Exit._
|1785| _Hor._ Remember where to meete mee.
_Asin._ Yes Ile meete; Tucca should ha found I dare meete.
_Exit._
_Ho._ Dare defend baldnes, which our conquering Muse
Has beaten downe so flat? Well, we will goe,
|1790| And see what weapons theyr weake wittes doe bring;
If sharpe, we’ll spred a large and nobler wing;
Tucca, heere lyes thy Peace: warre roares agen;
My Swoord shall neuer cutte thee, but my pen.
_Exit._
_Enter_ Sir Adam, Crispinus, Fannius, Blunt, Miniuer, Petula,
|1795| Philocalia _and_ Dicace.
_Ladies._ Thankes good Sir Adam.
_Sir Ada._ Welcome red-cheekt Ladies,
And welcome comely Widdow; Gentlemen,
Now that our sorry banquet is put by,
|1800| From stealing more sweet kisses from your lips
Walke in my garden: Ladyes let your eyes
Shed life into these flowers by their bright beames,
Sit, Sit, heere’s a large bower, heere all may heare,
Now good Crispinus let your praize begin
|1805| There, where it left off Baldnes.
_Cris._ I shall winne
No praise, by praising that, which to depraue,
All tongues are readie, and which none would haue.
