[58] Nineveh was one of the most famous of the _motions_ (_i.e._, puppet-shows); Julius Cæsar was also a favourite (see Middleton, viii. 95-6). Ben Jonson alludes to the motion of "Jonas and the Whale" in _Every Man out of his Humour_. In Jonson's _Bartholomew Fair_, v. 1, there is a mention of the motion of Jerusalem:--"O the motions that I, Lanthorn Leatherhead, have given light to, in my time, since my master Pod died! Jerusalem was a stately thing, and so was Nineveh," &c. [59] So ed. 2.--Ed. 1. "'tis the." [60] See note, vol. i. p. 276. [61] A character in the romance of _The Mirror of Chivalry_ (see note, vol. i. p. 30). SCENE II. _House of_ Master BURNISH, _the jeweller_. _Enter_ Master BURNISH[62] _and_ LIONEL. Master MULLIGRUB, _with a standing cup in his hand, and an obligation[63] in the other_. COCLEDEMOY _stands at the other door, disguised like a French pedlar, and overhears them_. _Mul._ I am not at this time furnish'd; but there's my bond for your plate. _Bur._ Your bill had been sufficient: y'are a good[64] man. A standing cup parcel-gilt[65] of thirty-two ounces, eleven pounds seven shillings, the first of July. Good plate--good man--good day--good all. _Mul._ 'Tis my hard fortune; I will hang the knave. No, first he shall half rot in fetters in the dungeon--his conscience made despairful. I'll hire a knave o' purpose--shall assure him he is damn'd; and after see him with mine own eyes, hang'd without singing any psalm. Lord, that he has but one neck! 12 _Bur._ You are too tyrannous;--you'll use me no further? _Mul._ No, sir; lend me your servant, only to carry the plate home. I have occasion of an hour's absence. _Bur._ With easy consent, sir.--Haste and be careful. [_Exit_ BURNISH. _Mul._ Be very careful, I pray thee,--to my wife's own hands. _Lio._ Secure yourself, sir. 20 _Mul._ To her own hand! _Lio._ Fear not, I have delivered greater things than this to a woman's own hand. _Coc._ Mounsier, please you to buy a fine delicate ball, sweet ball--a camphor ball? _Mul._ Prithee, away! [_Exit_ LIONEL. _Coc._ Wun'[66] a ball to scour--a scouring ball--a ball to be shaved! _Mul._ For the love of God! talk not of shaving. I have been shaved--mischief and a thousand devils seize him!--I have been shaved! 31 [_Exit_ MULLIGRUB.
