atural. _Isa_. Ay, so is he that got it. _Non_. Thou art not in earnest? _Isa_. I would I were not:--Hark! I hear him groan hither. Come in, poor Toby. _Enter_ TOBY, _the coachman, with an urinal_. _Non_. How now! what have you there, sirrah? _Tob_. An't please your worship, 'tis my water. I had a spice o'the new disease here i'the house; and so carried it to master doctor. _Non_. Well; and what did he say to you? _Tob_. He told me very sad news, an' please you: I am somewhat bashful to speak on't. _Isa_. Out with it, man. _Tob_. Why, truly, he told me, the party that owned the water was with child. _Isa_. I told you so, uncle. _Non_. To my best remembrance, I never heard of such a thing before. _Tob_. I never stretch out myself to snap my whip, but it goes to the heart of me. _Isa_. Alas, poor Toby! _Non_. Begone, and put off your livery, sirrah!--You shall not stay a minute in my service. _Tob_. I beseech your good worship, be good to me; 'twas the first fault I ever committed in this kind. I have three poor children by my wife; and if you leave me to the wide world, with a new charge upon myself-- _Non_. Begone! I will not hear a word. _Tob_.

I beseech your worship to pardon me; I longed for't. _Isa_. I feared as much. _Amb_. And I beseech your worship let me have a boy, to help me in the kitchen; for I find myself unable to go through with the work. Besides, the doctor has warned me of stooping to the fire, for fear of a mischance. _Non_. Why, are you with child, sirrah? _Amb_. So he tells me; but, if I were put to my oath, I know not that ever I deserved for't. _Non_. Still worse and worse. And here comes Setstone groaning. _Enter_ SETSTONE. _Set_. O, sir! I have been so troubled with swooning fits; and have so longed for cherries! _Non_. He's poopt too. _Isa_. Well, this is not the worst yet: I suspect something more than I will speak of. _Non_. What dost thou suspect, ha! _Isa_. Is not your lordship with child, too? _Non_. Who, I with child! marry, heaven forbid! What dost thou see by me, to ground it on? _Isa_. You're ver
