_To._ Sayest thou so? Come hither, Mildred. Do you see yond' fellow? he is a gentleman, though my prentice, and has somewhat to take too; a youth of good hope; well friended, well parted.[30] Are you mine? you are his. Work upon that now. 329 _Mi._ Sir, I am all yours; your body gave me life; your care and love, happiness of life; let your virtue still direct it, for to your wisdom I wholly dispose myself. _To._ Say'st thou so? Be you two better acquainted. Lip her, lip her, knave. So, shut up shop; in. We must make holiday. [_Exeunt_ GOLDING _and_ MILDRED. This match shall on, for I intend to prove Which thrives the best, the mean or lofty love. Whether fit wedlock vow'd 'twixt like and like, Or prouder hopes, which daringly o'erstrike 340 Their place and means. 'Tis honest time's expense, When seeming lightness bears a moral sense. Work upon that now. [_Exit._ [5] Compare the turn of this sentence with a passage of _The Fawn_ (vol. ii. p. 181):--"His brother your husband, right; he cuckold his eldest brother, true; he get her with child, just." [6] Darling. [7] An allusion to the proverbial expression, "cut and long tail" (_i.e._, dogs of every kind). [8] "Marry, faugh"--a common expression of disgust. [9] A nickname for a citizen. [10] "Give arms"--show armorial bearings. [11] Scraps of Pistol's rant.--"To the infernal deep with Erebus and tortures vile also," &c. [12] The parishes of St. Ewin, St. Nicholas, and part of St. Sepulchre's were amalgamated into one large parish and called Christ Church. It has been suggested that the reference is to Christ Church in Hampshire! [13] "Who calls, &c."--a line from _The Spanish Tragedy_ (Hazlitt's _Dodsley_, v. 54). [14] One who paid the reckoning for the whole company at a tavern. Cf. Jonson, _Poetaster_, i. 1:--"What shall I have my son ... a gull, a rook, a _shot-clog_, to make suppers and be laugh'd at?" [15] A favourite spot for sturdy beggars.--"I took him begging o' the way this morning as I came over Moorfields."--_Every Man in his Humour_, iv. 4. [16] Bettrice is not introduced elsewhere in the play. I presume she is a waiting-woman in attendance upon Gertrude, and that it is part of her duty to look after her mistress's monkey. Formerly ladies kept monkeys for pets,--a custom to which the dramatists constantly allude. [17] A line from a song in John Dowland's _First Book of Songs or Airs_, 1597. The song begins--"Sleep, wayward thoughts, and rest you with my love."
