Volume I Part 91 (2/2)

_Hau._ Why look you here now, you d.a.m.n'd Rogue, [To _Gload_.] Have not you serv'd me finely, hah?

_Gload._ Why, Sir, 'tis but crying Peccavi.

_Hau._ Peccavi, and be hang'd to you-- Lord, Sir, [To _Alonzo_.] why are you so angry? I came but to ask you a civil Question, from my Wife that must be.

_Alon._ You must ask me leave, first.

_Hau._ Yes, yes, Sir, so she said mun; for she must marry me to night.

_Alon._ Yes, you shall have it with this-- too. [Draws.

_Hau._ Why look you [_Haunce_ runs away, _Lovis_ stays him.] here now, here's d.a.m.n'd doings. For my part, I declare it here upon my Death-bed, I am forc'd to what I do, and you kill me against my Will.

_Alon._ Do'st think we are not discover'd in our Design? I'd kill the Dog if I thought we were.

_Lov._ I believe not; and perceive by my Sister's Message, that we are to come to her, and prevent this Fellow's marrying her.

_Alon._ Well, Sir, I'll spare your Life, and give your Mistress leave to marry to night.

_Hau._ How, Sir, to Night?-- But is he in earnest, _Lovis_?

_Lov._ In very good earnest.

_Hau._ Tan, ta, ra, ra, ra-- hay, Boys, what a Night we'll have on't, _Gload_, for Fiddles and Dancing.

_Alon._ Tell your Mistress I will dispatch a little Affair, and wait on her.

_Gload._ And pray, Sir, may I have leave to marry the Maid too?

_Alon._ We'll consider on't.

_Hau._ I am not such a Fool to venture tho, till I know the Coast is clear, for his very Looks are terrible; but go you, _Gload_, and tell her what he says.

[_Alonzo_ talks to _Lovis_.

Enter _Hippolyta_ from aside.

_Hip._ These be the Men that rescu'd me this morning, And are not to be employ'd in my Affair.

But yonder Stranger has a n.o.ble Look, And from him I'll intreat this Favour-- Sir-- [To _Alonzo_.

_Alon._ With me, Sir?

_Hip._ Yes, please you to walk a little this way, Sir.

[Takes him aside.

_Hau._ Well, make you sure of Fiddles, for look ye, we'll appear to night like our selves.

_Gload._ It shall be done, Sir.
