It is the eaſieſt thing Sir, to be done.
As plaine, as fizzling: roule but wi’ your eyes,
And foame at th’ mouth. A little caſtle-ſoape
Will do’t, to rub your lips: And then a nutſhell,
With toe, and touch-wood in it to ſpit fire, 5
Did you ner’e read, Sir, little _Darrels_ tricks,
With the boy o’ _Burton_, and the 7. in _Lancaſhire,
Sommers_ at _Nottingham_? All theſe do teach it.
And wee’ll giue out, Sir, that your wife ha’s bewitch’d you: [161]
_They repaire their old plot_.
EVE. And practiſed with thoſe two, as _Sorcerers_. 10
MER. And ga’ you potions, by which meanes you were
Not _Compos mentis_, when you made your _feoffment_.
There’s no recouery o’ your ſtate, but this:
This, Sir, will ſting.
EVE. And moue in a Court of equity.
MER. For, it is more then manifeſt, that this was 15
A plot o’ your wiues, to get your land.
FIT. I thinke it.
EVE. Sir it appeares.
MER. Nay, and my coſſen has knowne
Theſe gallants in theſe ſhapes.
EVE. T’haue don ſtrange things, Sir.
One as the _Lady_, the other as the _Squire_.
MER. How, a mans honeſty may be fool’d! I thought him 20
A very _Lady_.
FIT. So did I: renounce me elſe.
MER. But this way, Sir, you’ll be reueng’d at height.
EVE. Vpon ’hem all.
MER. Yes faith, and ſince your Wife
Has runne the way of woman thus, e’en giue her--
FIT. Loſt by this hand, to me, dead to all ioyes 25
Of her deare _Dottrell_, I ſhall neuer pitty her:
That could, pitty her ſelfe.
MER. Princely reſolu’d Sir,
And like your ſelfe ſtill, in _Potentiâ_.
