1684956and throwne into the Thames like a barow of But-

957chers offoll. Well, and I be serued such another

1685958tricke, Ile giue them leaue to take out my braines

1686959and butter them, and giue them to a dog for a new-

1687960yeares gift. Sblood, the rogues slided me in with as

1688961little remorse as if they had gone to drowne a blind

1689962bitches puppies in the litter: and they might know

1690963by my sise I haue a kind of alacritie in sinking: and

1691964the bottom had bin as deep as hell I should downe.

1692965I had bene drowned, but that the shore was sheluie

966and somewhat shallowe: a death that I abhorre.

1693967For you know the water swelles a man: and what a

1694968thing should I haue bene whẽ I had bene swelled?

1694.1969By the Lord a mountaine of money. Now is the

1694.2970Sacke brewed?

1697971Bar. I sir, there's a woman below would speake

972 with you.

1698973Fal. Bid her come vp. Let me put some Sacke

974among this cold water, for my belly is as cold as if I

1699975had swallowed snow-balles for pilles.

1708977Now whats the newes with you?

1709978Quic. I come from misteris Ford forsooth.

1710979Fal. Misteris Ford, I haue had Ford inough,

980I haue bene throwne into the Ford, my belly is full

1711981Of Ford: she hath tickled mee.

1716982Quic. O Lord sir, she is the sorrowfullest woman

1713983that her seruants mistooke, that euer liued. And sir,

1718984she would desire you of all loues you will meet her

985once againe, to morrow sir, betweene ten and ele-

1720986uen, and she hopes to make amends for all.

1725987Fal. Ten, and eleuen, saiest thou?
