14061295by, let vs call thee Diuell.

14081296Iag. What was he, that you followed with your sword?

14091297What had he done to you?

14101298Cas. I know not.

14111299Iag. Ist possible?

14121300Cas. I remember a masse of things, but nothing distinctly; a

14131301quarrell, but nothing wherefore. O God, that men should put an

14141302enemy in there mouthes, to steale away there braines; that wee

14151303should with ioy, Reuell, pleasure, and applause, transforme our

14161304selues into beasts.

14171305Iag. Why, but you are now well enough: how came you thus

14181306recouered?

14191307Cas. It hath pleasde the Diuell drunkennesse, to giue place to

14201308the Diuell wrath; one vnperfectnesse, shewes me another, to make

14211309me frankely despise my selfe.

14221310Iag. Come, you are too seuere a morraler; as the time, the place,

14231311the condition of this Countrey stands, I could heartily wish, this

14241312had not so befalne; but since it is as it is, mend it, for your own good.

14261313Cas. I will aske him for my place againe, hee shall tell me I am a

14271314drunkard: had I as many mouthes as Hydra, such an answer would

14281315stop em all: to be now a sensible man, by and by a foole, and pre-

14291316sently a beast. Euery vnordinate cup is vnblest, and the ingredience

14311317is a diuell.

14321318Iag. Come, come, good wine is a good familiar creature, if it be

14331319well vs'd; exclaime no more against it; and good Leiutenant, I

14341320thinke you thinke I loue you.

14361321Cas. I haue well approou'd it sir, ---I drunke?

14371322Iag. You, or any man liuing may bee drunke at some time: I'le

14381323tell you what you shall do, --our Generals wife is now the Gene-

14391324rall; I may say so in this respect, for that he has deuoted and giuen vp

14401325himselfe to the contemplation, marke and deuotement of her parts

14421326and graces. Confesse your selfe freely to her, importune her, shee'll

14431327helpe to put you in your place againe: she is so free, so kind, so apt,

14441328so blessed a disposition, that shee holds it a vice in her goodnesse,

14451329not to doe more then shee is requested. This braule betweene

14471330you and her husband, intreate her to splinter, and my fortunes

14481331against any lay, worth naming, this cracke of your loue
