Sir, your good pardon, that I thus preſume Vpon your priuacy. I am borne a Gentleman, A younger brother; but, in ſome diſgrace, Now, with my friends: and want ſome little meanes, To keepe me vpright, while things be reconcil’d. 5 Pleaſe you, to let my ſeruice be of vſe to you, Sir. FIT. Seruice? ’fore hell, my heart was at my mouth, Till I had view’d his ſhooes well: for, thoſe roſes Were bigge inough to hide a clouen foote. _Hee lookes and ſuruay’s his feet: ouer and ouer._ No, friend, my number’s full. I haue one ſeruant, 10 Who is my all, indeed; and, from the broome Vnto the bruſh: for, iuſt so farre, I truſt him. He is my Ward-robe man, my Cater, Cooke, Butler, and Steward; lookes vnto my horſe: And helpes to watch my wife. H’has all the places, 15 That I can thinke on, from the garret downward, E’en to the manger, and the curry-combe. PVG. Sir, I ſhall put your worſhip to no charge, More then my meate, and that but very little, I’le ſerue you for your loue. FIT. Ha? without wages? 20 I’le harken o’ that eare, were I at leaſure. But now, I’m buſie. ’Pr’y the, friend forbeare mee, And’ thou hadſt beene a _Diuell_, I ſhould ſay [101] Somewhat more to thee. Thou doſt hinder, now, My meditations. PVG. Sir, I am a _Diuell_. 25 FIT. How! PVG. A true _Diuell_, S^r. FIT. Nay, now, you ly: Vnder your fauour, friend, for, I’ll not quarrell. I look’d o’ your feet, afore, you cannot coozen mee, Your ſhoo’s not clouen, Sir, you are whole hoof’d. _He viewes his feete againe._ PVG. Sir, that’s a popular error, deceiues many: 30 But I am that, I tell you. FIT. What’s your name? PVG. My name is _Diuell_, S^r. FIT. Sai’ſt thou true. PVG. in-deed, S^r.
