97Luc. If the Duke, with the other Dukes, come not to

98composition with the King of Hungary, why then all the

99Dukes fall vpon the King.

1001. Gent. Heauen grant vs its peace, but not the King

101of Hungaries.

1022. Gent. Amen.

103Luc. Thou conclud'st like the Sanctimonious Pirat,

104that went to sea with the ten Commandements, but

105scrap'd one out of the Table.

1062. Gent. Thou shalt not Steale?

107Luc. I, that he raz'd.

1081. Gent. Why? 'twas a commandement, to command

109the Captaine and all the rest from their functions: they

110put forth to steale: There's not a Souldier of vs all, that

111in the thanks-giuing before meate, do rallish the petition

112well, that praies for peace.

1132. Gent. I neuer heard any Souldier dislike it.

114Luc. I beleeue thee: for I thinke thou neuer was't

115where Grace was said.

1162. Gent. No? a dozen times at least.

1171. Gent. What? In meeter?

118Luc. In any proportion. or in any language.

1191. Gent. I thinke, or in any Religion.

120Luc. I, why not? Grace, is Grace, despight of all con-

121trouersie: as for example; Thou thy selfe art a wicked

122villaine, despight of all Grace.

1231. Gent. Well: there went but a paire of sheeres be-

124tweene vs.

125Luc. I grant: as there may betweene the Lists, and

126the Veluet. Thou art the List.

1271. Gent. And thou the Veluet; thou art good veluet;

128thou'rt a three pild-peece I warrant thee: I had as liefe

129be a Lyst of an English Kersey, as be pil'd, as thou art

130pil'd, for a French Veluet. Do I speake feelingly now?

131Luc. I thinke thou do'st: and indeed with most pain-

132full feeling of thy speech: I will, out of thine owne con-

133fession, learne to begin thy health; but, whilst I liue for-

134get to drinke after thee.

1351. Gen. I think I haue done my selfe wrong, haue I not?

1362. Gent. Yes, that thou hast; whether thou art tainted,

138Luc. Behold, behold, where Madam Mitigation comes.

139I haue purchas'd as many diseases vnder her Roofe,

140As come to

1412. Gent. To what, I pray?

142Luc. Iudge.

1432. Gent. To three thousand Dollours a yeare.

1441. Gent. I, and more.

145Luc. A French crowne more.

1461. Gent. Thou art alwayes figuring diseases in me; but

147thou art full of error, I am sound.

148Luc. Nay, not (as one would say) healthy: but so

149sound, as things that are hollow; thy bones are hollow;

150Impiety has made a feast of thee.

1511. Gent. How now, which of your hips has the most

152profound Ciatica?

153Bawd. Well, well: there's one yonder arrested, and

154carried to prison, was worth fiue thousand of you all.

1552. Gent. Who's that I pray'thee?

156Bawd. Marry Sir, that's Claudio, Signior Claudio.

1571. Gent. Claudio to prison? 'tis not so.

158Bawd. Nay, but I know 'tis so: I saw him arrested:

159saw him carried away: and which is more, within these

160three daies his head to be chop'd off.

161Luc. But, after all this fooling, I would not haue it so:

162Art thou sure of this?

163Bawd. I am too sure of it: and it is for getting Madam

164Iulietta with childe.

165Luc. Beleeue me this may be: he promis'd to meete

166me two howres since, and he was euer precise in promise

167keeping.

1682. Gent. Besides you know, it drawes somthing neere

169to the speech we had to such a purpose.

1701. Gent. But most of all agreeing with the proclamatiō.

171Luc. Away: let's goe learne the truth of it. Exit.

172Bawd. Thus, what with the war; what with the sweat,

173what with the gallowes, and what with pouerty, I am

174Custom-shrunke. How now? what's the newes with

176Clo. Yonder man is carried to prison.

177Baw. Well: what has he done?

178Clo. A Woman.

179Baw. But what's his offence?

180Clo. Groping for Trowts, in a peculiar Riuer.

181Baw. What? is there a maid with child by him?

182Clo. No: but there's a woman with maid by him :

183you haue not heard of the proclamation, haue you?

184Baw. What proclamation, man?

185Clow. All howses in the Suburbs of Vienna must bee

186pluck'd downe.

187Bawd. And what shall become of those in the Citie?

188Clow. They shall stand for seed: they had gon down

189to, but that a wise Burger put in for them.

190Bawd. But shall all our houses of resort in the Sub-

191urbs be puld downe?

192Clow. To the ground, Mistris.

193Bawd. Why heere's a change indeed in the Common-

194wealth: what shall become of me?

195Clow. Come: feare not you; good Counsellors lacke

196no Clients: though you change your place, you neede

197not change your Trade: Ile bee your Tapster still; cou-

198rage, there will bee pitty taken on you; you that haue

199worne your eyes almost out in the seruice, you will bee

200considered.

201Bawd. What's to doe heere, Thomas Tapster? let's

202withdraw?

203Clo. Here comes Signior Claudio, led by the Prouost

204to prison: and there's Madam Iuliet. Exeunt.
