[_Exeunt_ BEATRICE, CRISPINELLA, _and_ Nurse.
_Sir Hub._ Convey her in, and so, sir, as you said,
Set a strong watch.
_Sir Lio._ Ay, sir, and so pass along with this same common
woman; you must make it good. 80
_Fra._ Ick sall, or let me pay for his mine bloud.
_Sir Hub._ Come, then, along all, with quiet speed.
_Sir Lio._ O fate!
_Tyse._ O sir, be wisely sorry, but not passionate.
[_Exeunt all but_ Young FREEVILL.
_Free._ I will go and reveal myself! stay, no, no;
Grief endears love. Heaven! to have such a wife
Is happiness to breed pale envy in the saints.
Thou worthy dove-like virgin without gall,
Cannot (that woman's evil) jealousy,
Despite disgrace, nay, which is worse, contempt, 90
Once stir thy faith? O truth, how few sisters hast thou!
Dear memory!
With what a suffering sweetness, quiet modesty,
Yet deep affection, she received my death!
And then with what a patient, yet oppressed kindness,
She took my lewdly intimated wrongs!
O the dearest of heaven! were there but three
Such women in the world, two might be saved.
Well, I am great
With expectation to what devilish end 100
This woman of foul soul will drive her plots;
But Providence all wicked art o'ertops;
And impudence must know (tho' stiff as ice),
That fortune doth not always dote on vice.
[_Exit._

_Shakesp. Glossary_.
SCENE V.
_A Street._
_Enter_ Sir HUBERT, Sir LIONEL, TYSEFEW, FRANCESCHINA,
_and three with halberds_.
_Sir Hub._ Plant a watch there! be very careful, sirs;
the rest with us.
_Tyse._ The heavy night grows to her depth of quiet;
'Tis about mid-darkness.
_Fra._ Mine shambre is hard by; ick sall bring you to
it presantment.
_Sir Lio._ Deep silence! On!
[_Exeunt._
_Coc._ (_within_). Wa, ha, ho!
_Enter_ MULLIGRUB.
_Mul._ It was his voice, 'tis he: he sups with his
cupping-glasses. 'Tis late; he must pass this way: I'll
ha' him--I'll ha' my fine boy, my worshipful Cocledemoy;
I'll moy him; he shall be hang'd in lousy
linen; I'll hire some sectary to make him an heretic
before he die; and when he is dead I'll piss on his
grave. 15
_Enter_ COCLEDEMOY.
_Coc._ Ah, my fine punks, good night, Frank Frailty,
Frail o' Frail-hall! _Bonus noches, my ubiquitari._
_Mul._ Ware polling and shaving, sir.
_Coc._ A wolf, a wolf, a wolf!
[_Exit_ COCLEDEMOY, _leaving his cloak behind him_.
