_Yo. Lo._ Hee'l make your will amends soon, do not doubt it.
But Sir I must intreat you to be better known
To this converted _Jew_ here.
_Ser._ Here's Beer for you Sir.
_Mor._ And here's for you an Angel:
Pray buy no Land, 'twill never prosper Sir.
_Elder Lo._ How's this?
_Yo. Lo._ Bless you, and then I'le tell: He's turn'd Gallant.
_Elder Lo._ Gallant?
_Yo. Lo._ I Gallant, and is now called, _Cutting Morecraft_:
The reason I'le inform you at more leisure.
_Wel._ O good Sir let me know him presently.
_Young Lo._ You shall hug one another.
_Mor._ Sir I must keep you company.
_Elder Lo._ And reason.
_Young Lo._ Cutting _Morecraft_ faces about, I must present another.
_Mor._ As many as you will Sir, I am for 'em.
_Wel._ Sir I shall do you service.
_Mor._ I shall look for't in good faith Sir.
_Elder Lo._ Prethee good sweet heart kiss him.
_Lady._ Who, that fellow?
_Savil._ Sir will it please you to remember me: my keys good Sir.
_Young Lo._ I'le doe it presently.
_El. Lo._ Come thou shalt kiss him for our sport sake.
_La._ Let him come on then; and do you hear, do not instruct me in these
tricks, for you may repent it.
_El. Lo._ That at my peril. Lusty Mr. _Morecraft_,
Here is a Lady would salute you.
_Mor._ She shall not lose her longing Sir: what is she?
_Elder Lo._ My wife Sir.
_Mor._ She must be then my Mistres.
_Lady._ Must I Sir?
_Elder Lo._ O yes, you must.
_Mor._ And you must take this ring, a poor pawn
Of some fiftie pound.
_El Lo._ Take it by any means, 'tis lawfull prize.
_Lady._ Sir I shall call you servant.
_Mor._ I shall be proud on't: what fellow's that?
_Young Lo._ My Ladies Coachman.
_Mor._ There's something, (my friend) for you to buy whips,
And for you Sir, and you Sir.
_Elder Lo._ Under a miracle this is the strangest
I ever heard of.
_Mor._ What, shall we play, or drink? what shall we doe?
Who will hunt with me for a hundred pounds?
_Wel._ Stranger and Stranger!
Sir you shall find sport after a day or two.
_Young Lo._ Sir I have a sute unto you
Concerning your old servant _Savil_.
_Elder Lo._ O, for his keys, I know it.
_Savil._ Now Sir, strike in.
_Mor._ Sir I must have you grant me.
_Elder Lo._ 'Tis done Sir, take your keys again:
But hark you _Savil_, leave off the motions
Of the flesh, and be honest, or else you shall graze again:
I'le try you once more.
_Savil._ If ever I be taken drunk, or whoring,
Take off the biggest key i'th' bunch, and open
My head with it Sir: I humbly thank your worships.
_Elder Lo._ Nay then I see we must keep holiday.
_Enter_ Roger, _and_ Abigal.
Here's the last couple in hell.
_Roger._ Joy be among you all.
_Lady._ Why how now Sir, what is the meaning of this emblem?
_Roger._ Marriage an't like your worship.
_Lady._ Are you married?
_Roger._ As well as the next Priest could doe it, Madam.
_Elder Lo._ I think the sign's in _Gemini_, here's such coupling.
_Wel._ Sir _Roger_, what will you take to lie from your sweet-heart to
night?
