hillings in these Breeches, and the odd groat, I take it, shall be yours, Sir, a mark to know a Knave by, pray preserve it, do not displease more, but take it presently, now help me off with my Boots. _Hare._ We are no Grooms, Sir. _Val._ For once you shall be, do it willingly, or by this hand I'le make you. _Bell._ To our own, Sir, we may apply our hands. _Val._ There's your Hangers, you may deserve a strong pair, and a girdle will hold you without buckles; now I am perfect, and now the proudest of your worships tell me I am beholding to you. _Fount._ No such matter. _Val._ And take heed how you pity me, 'tis dangerous, exceeding dangerous, to prate of pity; which are the poorer? you are now puppies; I without you, or you without my knowledge? be Rogues, and so be gone, be Rogues and reply not, for if you do-- _Bell._ Only thus much, and then we'll leave you: the Air is far sharper than our anger, Sir, and these you may reserve to rail in warmer. _Hare._ Pray have a care, Sir, of your health.
