but
gone almost an hour agoe.
_Val._ Good ee'n then.
_Wid._ You must not so soon Sir, here be some Gentlemen, it may be
you are acquainted with 'em.
_Hare._ Will nothing make him miserable?
_Fount._ How glorious!
_Bel._ It is the very he, does it rain fortunes, or has he a
familiar?
_Hare._ How doggedly he looks too?
_Fount._ I am beyond my faith, pray let's be going.
_Val._ Where are these Gentlemen?
_Wid._ Here.
_Val._ Yes I know 'em, and will be more familiar.
_Bel._ Morrow Madam.
_Wid._ Nay stay and dine.
_Val._ You shall stay till I talk with you, and not dine neither,

down the looser.
_Wid._ Will you stay Gentlemen, a piece of Beef and a cold Capon,
