bs i'faith, married, and with child too!
how long has this been, I trow? they seem grave fellows, they should not
come to flout; married, and bedded, the world takes notice too! where
lies this May-game? I could be vext extreamly now, and rail too, but
'tis to no end, though I itch a little, must I be scratcht I know not
how, who waits there?
_Enter_ Humphrey, _a_ Servant.
_Hum._ Madam.
_Wid._ Make ready my Coach quickly, and wait you only, and hark you
Sir, be secret and speedy, inquire out where he lies.
_Hum._ I shall do it, Madam.
_Wid._ Married, and got with child in a dream! 'tis fine i'faith,
sure he that did this, would do better waking. [_Exit._
_Enter_ Valentine, Fran. Lance, _and a Boy with a Torch_.
_Val._ Hold thy Torch handsomely: how dost thou _Frank_?
_Peter Bassel_, bear up.
_Fran._ You have fried me soundly, Sack do you call this drink?
_Val._ A shrewd dog, _Frank_, will bite abundantly.
_Lan._ Now could I fight, and fight with thee.
_Val._ With me, thou man of _Memphis_?
_Lan._ But that thou art mine own natural master, yet my sack says
thou art no man, thou art a Pagan, and pawnest thy land, which a noble
cause.
_Val._ No arms, nor arms, good _Lancelot_, dear _Lance_,
no fighting here, we will have Lands boy, Livings, and Titles, thou
shalt be a Vice-Roy, hang fighting, hang't 'tis out of fashion.
_Lan._ I would fain labour you into your lands again, go to, it is
behoveful.
_Fran._ Fie _Lance_, fie.
_Lan._ I must beat some body, and why not my Master, before a
stranger? charity and beating begins at home.
_Val._ Come, thou shalt beat me.
_Lan._ I will not be compel'd, and you were two Masters, I scorn
the motion.
_Val._ Wilt thou sleep?
_Lan._ I scorn sleep.
_Val._ Wilt thou go eat?
_Lan._ I scorn meat, I come for rompering, I come to wait upon my
charge discreetly; for look you, if you will not take your Mortgage
again, here do I lie S' George, and so forth.
_Val._ And here do I S' George, bestride the Dragon, thus with my
Lance.
_Lan._ I sting, I sting with my tail.
_Val._ Do you so, do you so, Sir? I shall tail you presently.
_Fran._ By no means, do not hurt him.
_Val._ Take this _Nelson_, and now rise, thou Maiden Knight of
Malllgo, lace on thy Helmet of inchanted Sack, and charge again.
_Lan._ I'le play no more, you abuse me, will you go?
_Fran._ I'le bid you good morrow, Brother, for sleep I cannot, I
have a thousand fancies.
