_Pass._ Ay; but since I borrowed money of her, I'll drink to her health now; as gentlemen visit brokers, or as knights send venison to the city, either to take up more money, or to procure longer forbearance. 21 _Mal._ Give me the bowl. I drink a health to Altofront, our deposed duke. [_Drinks._ _Pas._ I'll take it [_Drinks_]:--so. Now I'll begin a health to Madam Maquerelle. [_Drinks._ _Mal._ Pooh! I will not pledge her. _Pass._ Why, I pledged your lord. _Mal._ I care not. _Pass._ Not pledge Madam Maquerelle! why, then, will I spew up your lord again with this fool's finger. 30 _Mal._ Hold; I'll take it. [_Drinks._ _Maq._ Now thou hast drunk my health, fool, I am friends with thee. _Pass._ Art? art? When Griffon[532] saw the reconcilèd quean Offering about his neck her arms to cast, He threw off sword and heart's malignant spleen, And lovely her below the loins embrac'd.-- Adieu, Madam Maquerelle. [_Exit._ _Mal._ And how dost thou think o' this transformation of state now? 41 _Maq._ Verily, very well; for we women always note, the falling of the one is the rising of the other; some must be fat, some must be lean; some must be fools, and some must be lords; some must be knaves, and some must be officers; some must be beggars, some must be knights; some must be cuckolds, and some must be citizens. As for example, I have two court-dogs, the most fawning curs, the one called Watch, the other Catch: now I, like Lady Fortune, sometimes love this dog, sometimes raise that dog, sometimes favour Watch, most commonly fancy Catch. Now, that dog which I favour I feed; and he's so ravenous, that what I give he never chaws it, gulps it down whole, without any relish of what he has, but with a greedy expectation of what he shall have. The other dog now---- 56 _Mal._ No more dog, sweet Maquerelle, no more dog. And what hope hast thou of the Duchess Maria? will she stoop to the duke's lure? will she come,[533] thinkest? _Maq._ Let me see, where's the sign now? ha' ye e'er a calendar? where's the sign, trow you? 61 _Mal._ Sign! why, is there any moment in that?
