TRAINES.
Come, I muſt buſſe--
_Offers to kiſſe._
PIT. Away. MER. I’ll ſet thee vp again.
Neuer feare that: canſt thou get ne’r a bird?
No _Thruſhes_ hungry? Stay, till cold weather come,
I’ll help thee to an _Ouſell_, or, a _Field-fare_.
Who’s within, with Madame?
PIT. I’ll tell you straight. 5
_She runs in, in haſte: he followes._
MER. Pleaſe you ſtay here, a while Sir, I’le goe in.
PVG. I doe ſo long to haue a little venery,
While I am in this body! I would taſt
Of euery ſinne, a little, if it might be
After the māner of man! _Sweet-heart!_
PIT. What would you, S^r? 10
Pug _leaps at_ Pitfall’s _comming in_.
PVG. Nothing but fall in, to you, be your Black-bird,
My pretty pit (as the Gentleman ſaid) your _Throſtle_:
Lye tame, and taken with you; here’is gold!
To buy you ſo much new ſtuffes, from the ſhop,
As I may take the old vp--
TRA. You muſt send, Sir. 15
The Gentleman the ring.
Traine’s _in his falſe cloak, brings a falſe
meſſage, and gets the ring_.
PVG. There ’tis. Nay looke,
Will you be fooliſh, _Pit_.
PIT. This is ſtrange rudeneſſe.
PVG. Deare _Pit_.
PIT. I’ll call, I ſweare.
Mere-craft _followes preſently, and askes for it_.
MER. Where are you, S^r?
Is your ring ready? Goe with me.
PVG. I ſent it you.
MER. Me? When? by whom?
PVG. A fellow here, e’en now, 20
Came for it i’ your name.
MER. I ſent none, ſure.
My meaning euer was, you ſhould deliuer it,
Your ſelfe: So was your Maſters charge, you know.
_Ent._ Train’s _as himſelfe againe_.
What fellow was it, doe you know him?
