_Lucif._ Since thy own folly made thee marry, ’tis now too late to prate, you must away with the rest. [_They are carry’d off, and others brought on._ Bring the next to the bar: declare the cause of your deserv’d damnation. My life on’t these dapper sparks are in for cakes and ale too; the very air of their faces speaks them cuckolds. _French Ghost._ Sire, may it please your most victorious majesty, _Vostre Esclaro_ is a _Frenchman_ by birth, and a leader of the most christian king’s most magnanimous forces; and whilst I, with my commilitones, was reaping lawrels in the field of renown, and engaging the enemy abroad, my lady wife (as most of our _French_ wives will, for having once tasted the sweets of love, they’ll ne’er have done ’till they have undone us one way or other) my lady wife, I say, was engaging with a friend at home, who very genteely gave her the pox, which I, at my return, like a gay cavalier of a husband, receiv’d of her as genteely without rebuke, it being no matter of scandal with us. But madamoiselle’s pox proving a very _virago_, gave me damn’d thrust in _quarto_, and sent me hither in _decimo sexto_, _monseigneur_. _Lucif._ You, the rest, speak. _Omnes._ We are all _Frenchmen_, and therefore you need not doubt the cause, the pox and our wives, _ma foy_. _Lucif._ Away with them: they’ll make a fire by themselves, or will serve instead of small-coal to kindle others; for they are half burnt out already. Place ’em next the _Spaniards_. The next there speak. [_They are carry’d off, more brought on._ _German Ghost._ I am, by nation, a _German_, and, by damnation, a husband, a cuckold, or what you please; for I hate to mince the matter with a long preamble, when a word to the wise is enough. _Lucif._ Very well; you, the rest, speak. _Omnes._ Ev’n so, an’t please your imperial devilship; whilst we drank and fought against the _Turks_, our wives whor’d with the _Christians_. O wives! wives! _Lucif._ Away with these into the hottest, for their carcasses are so soak’d with liquor, that they’ll put out an ordinary fire. You, the next, speak. [_They are carry’d off, others brought on._ _Dutch Ghost._ Gads sacrament, I am a member, or rather two members, of the _Hogen-Mogen_ common-wealth of _Europe_. Two members, I say; for I am a member governed, and a member governing; for the people with us, and in all such common-wealths, are both subjects and masters, govern laws, and govern’d by the same. _Lucif._ Your country’s name then is contradiction. Is it not?
