_Pass._ Why, she gets all the picture-makers to draw her picture; when they have done, she most courtly finds fault with them one after another, and never fetcheth them: they, in revenge of this, execute her in pictures as they do in Germany, and hang her in their shops: by this means is she better known to the stinkards than if she had been five times carted. 35 _Bil._ 'Fore God, an excellent policy. _Pass._ Are there any revels to-night, my lord? _Bil._ Yes. _Pass._ Good my lord, give me leave to break a fellow's pate that hath abused me. 40 _Bil._ Whose pate? _Pass._ Young Ferrardo, my lord. _Bil._ Take heed, he's very valiant; I have known him fight eight quarrels in five days, believe it. _Pass._ O, is he so great a quarreller? why, then, he's an arrant coward. _Bil._ How prove you that? _Pass._ Why, thus. He that quarrels seeks to fight; and he that seeks to fight seeks to die; and he that seeks to die seeks never to fight more; and he that will quarrel, and seeks means never to answer a man more, I think he's a coward. 52 _Bil._ Thou canst prove anything. _Pass._ Anything but a rich knave; for I can flatter no man. _Bil._ Well, be not drunk, good fool: I shall see you anon in the presence. [_Exeunt._ [528] This scene was added in ed. 2. [529] Reed suggests that this word may be derived from old Fr. _coisser_ (= incommoder) or _coiter_ (= presser, exciter). Nares explains _coistered_ to mean "coiled up into a small compass." [530] A ball of perfumed paste, worn round the neck or at the girdle. SCENE II. _Before the Citadel._ _Enter, from opposite sides_, MALEVOLE _and_ MAQUERELLE, _singing_. _Mal. The Dutchman for a drunkard_,-- _Maq. The Dane for golden locks_,-- _Mal. The Irishman for usquebaugh_,-- _Maq. The Frenchman for the_ (----). _Mal._ O, thou art a blessed creature! had I a modest woman to conceal, I would put her to thy custody; for no reasonable creature would ever suspect her to be in thy company: ah, thou art a melodious Maquerelle,--thou picture of a woman, and substance of a beast! _Enter_ PASSARELLO _with wine._ _Maq._ O fool,[531] will ye be ready anon to go with me to the revels? the hall will be so pestered anon. 11 _Pass._ Ay, as the country is with attorneys. _Mal._ What hast thou there, fool? _Pass._ Wine; I have learned to drink since I went with my lord ambassador: I'll drink to the health of Madam Maquerelle. _Mal._ Why, thou wast wont to rail upon her.
