jest, And yet the jest may chance to break our necks Should it be known. _Cler._ Fear nothing. _Din._ _Cleremont_, Say, what success? _Cler._ As thou wouldst wish, 'tis done Lad, The grove will witness with me, that this night I lay not like a block: but how speed you? _Din._ I yet am in suspence, devise some means To get these off, and speedily. _Cler._ I have it, Come, we are dull, I think that the good fellows, Our predecessors in this place, were not So foolish, and improvident husbands, but 'Twill yield us meat and wine. _1 Gent._ Let's ransack it, 'Tis ours now by the Law. _Cler._ How say you sweet one, Have you an appetite? _Ana._ To walk again I'th' Woods, if you think fit, rather than eat. _Cler._ A little respite prethee; nay blush not, You ask but what's your own, and warrantable: _Monsieur_, _Beaupre_, _Verdone_, What think you of the motion? _Verd._ Lead the way. _Beau._ We follow willingly.
