_Sir Jol._ Out upon't, fie for shame! I protest I'll leave your company if you talk so. But faith they were pure whores, daintily dutiful strumpets: ha! uddsbud, they'd--have stripped for t'other bottle. _Beau._ Truly, Sir Jolly, you are a man of very extraordinary discipline: I never saw whores under better command in my life. _Sir Jol._ Pish, that's nothing, man, nothing; I can send for forty better when I please; doxies that will skip, strip, leap, trip, and do anything in the world, anything, old soul! _Cour._ Dear, dear Sir Jolly, where and when? _Sir Jol._ Odd! as simply as I stand here, her father was a knight. _Beau._ Indeed, Sir Jolly! a knight, say you? _Sir Jol._ Ay, but a little decayed: I'll assure you she's a very good gentlewoman born. _Cour._ Ay, and a very good gentlewoman bred too. _Sir Jol._ Ay, and so she is. _Beau._ But, Sir Jolly, how goes my business forward? when shall I have a view of the quarry I am to fly at? _Sir Jol._ Alas-a-day, not so hasty; soft and fair, I beseech you. Ah, my little son of thunder, if thou hadst her in thy arms now between a pair of sheets, and I under the bed to see fair play, boy; gemini! what would become of me? what would become of me? there would be doings! O lawd, I under the bed! _Beau._ Or behind the hangings, Sir Jolly, would not that do as well? _Sir Jol._ Ah no, under the bed against the world, and then it would be very dark, ha! _Beau._ Dark to choose? _Sir Jol._ No, but a little light would do well; a small glimmering lamp, just enough for me to steal a peep by; oh, lamentable! oh, lamentable! I won't speak a word more! there would be a trick! O rare! you friend, O rare! Odds-so, not a word more, odds-so, yonder comes the monster that must be the cuckold-elect; step, step aside and observe him; if I should be seen in your company, 'twould spoil all. [_Exeunt_ Sir JOLLY _and_ COURTINE. _Beau._ For my part, I'll stand the meeting of him; one way to promote a good understanding with a wife, is first to get acquainted with her husband. [_Retires._ _Enter_ Sir DAVY DUNCE.
