_Sir John._ Pray remember yourself better; did not you turn him away for some fault lately, and laid a livery of black and blue on his back, before he went? _Sir Mart._ The devil of any fault, or any black and blue, that I remember: Either the rascal put some trick upon you, or you would upon me. _Sir John._ O ho, then it seems the cudgelling and turning away were pure invention; I am glad I understand it. _Sir Mart._ In fine, its all so damned a lie---- _Warn._ Alas! he has forgot it, sir; good wits, you know, have bad memories. _Sir John._ No, no, sir, that shall not serve your turn; you may return when you please to your old master; I give you a fair discharge, and a glad man I am to be so rid of you: Were you thereabouts, i'faith? What a snake I had entertained in my bosom! Fare you well, sir, and lay your next plot better between you, I advise you. [_Exit Sir_ JOHN. _Warn._ Lord, sir, how you stand, as you were nipped i'the head! Have you done any new piece of folly, that makes you look so like an ass? _Sir Mart._ Here's three pieces of gold yet, if I had the heart to offer it thee. [_Holds the gold afar off, trembling._ _Warn._ Noble sir, what have I done to deserve so great a liberality? I confess, if you had beaten me for my own fault, if you had utterly destroyed all my projects, then it might have been expected, that ten or twenty pieces should have been offered by way of recompence or satisfaction. _Sir Mart._ Nay, an you be so full of your flouts, your friend and servant; who the devil could tell the meaning of your signs and tokens, an you go to that? _Warn._ You are no ass then? _Sir Mart._ Well, sir, to do you service, d'ye see, I am an ass in a fair way; will that satisfy you? _Warn._ For this once produce those three pieces; I am contented to receive that inconsiderable tribute; or make 'em six, and I'll take the fault upon myself. _Sir Mart._ Are we friends then? If we are, let me advise you---- _Warn._ Yet advising! _Sir Mart._ For no harm, good Warner: But pray next time make me of your council, let me enter into the business, instruct me in every point, and then if I discover all, I am resolved to give over affairs, and retire from the world. _Warn._ Agreed, it shall be so; but let us now take breath a while, then on again. For though we had the worst, those heats are past; We'll whip and spur, and fetch him up at last. [_Exeunt._ ACT V. SCENE I. _Enter Lord, Lady_ DUPE, _Mistress_ CHRISTIAN, ROSE, _and_ WARNER. _Lord._ Your promise is admirably made good to me, that Sir John Swallow should be this night married to Mrs Christian; instead of that, he is more deeply engaged than ever with old Moody. _Warn._ I cannot help those ebbs and flows of fortune.
