20081850some liking, I shall be out of heart shortly, and then I shall haue

20091851no strength to repent. And I haue not forgotten what the inside

20111852of a Church is made of, I am a Pepper corne, a brewers Horse,

20121853the inside of a Church. Company, villainous company, hath been

20131854the spoile of me.

20141855Bar. Sir Iohn, you are so fretfull you cannot liue long.

20161856Fal. Why, there is it; come sing me a bawdie song, make me

20171857merry. I was as vertuously giuen as a gentleman need to be, ver-

20181858tuous enough, swore little, dic't not aboue seuen times a weeke,

20191859went to a baudy house not aboue once in a quarter of an houre,

20201860paid money that I borrowed three or foure times, liued wel, and

20211861in good compasse, and nowe I liue out of all order, out of all

20221862compasse.

20241863Bar. Why, you are so fat, sir Iohn, that you must needes be out

20251864of all compasse: out of all reasonable compasse, sir Iohn.

20271865Fal. Do thou amend thy face, and ile amend my life: thou art

20281866our Admiral, thou bearest the lanterne in the poope, but tis in the

20291867nose of thee: thou art the knight of the burning lampe.

20311868Bar. Why, sir Iohn, my face does you no harme.

20321869Fal. No ile be sworn, I make as good vse of it as many a man

20331870doth of a deaths head, or a memento mori. I neuer see thy face,

20341871but I thinke vpon hell fire, and Diues that liued in Purple: for

20351872there he is in his robes burning, burning. If thou wert any waie

20361873giuen to vertue, I would sweare by thy face: my oath should be

20371874by this fire that Gods Angell. But thou art altogether giuen o-

20381875uer: and wert indeede but for the light in thy face, the sonne of

20391876vtter darkenesse. When thou ranst vp Gadshill in the night to

20411877catch my horse, if I did not thinke thou hadst beene an ignis fa-

20421878tuus

or a ball of wildfire, theres no purchase in money. O thou

20431879art a perpetuall triumph, an euerlasting bonefire light, thou hast

20441880saued me a thousand Markes in Linkes, and Torches, walking

20451881with thee in the night betwixt tauerne and tauerne: but the sacke

20471882that thou hast drunke me, would haue bought me lights as good

20481883cheape, at the dearest Chandlers in Europe. I haue maintained

20491884that Sallamander of yours with fire any time this two and thirty

20501885yeares, God reward me for it.

20511886Bar. Zbloud, I would my face were in your belly.

20521887Fal. Godamercy, so should I be sure to be hartburnt.
