ow?-- [ENTER SERVANTS.] Bar up my doors, you varlets! EPI: He is a varlet that stirs to such an office. Let them stand open. I would see him that dares move his eyes toward it. Shall I have a barricado made against my friends, to be barr'd of any pleasure they can bring in to me with their honourable visitation? [EXEUNT SER.] MOR: O Amazonian impudence! TRUE: Nay, faith, in this, sir, she speaks but reason: and, methinks, is more continent than you. Would you go to bed so presently, sir, afore noon? a man of your head and hair should owe more to that reverend ceremony, and not mount the marriage-bed like a town-bull, or a mountain-goat; but stay the due season; and ascend it then with religion and fear. Those delights are to be steeped in the humour and silence of the night; and give the day to other open pleasures, and jollities of feasting, of music, of revels, of discourse: we'll have all, sir, that may make your Hymen high and happy. MOR: O, my torment, my torment! TRUE: Nay, if you endure the first half hour, sir, so tediously, and with this irksomness; what comfort or hope can this fair gentlewoman make to herself hereafter, in the consideration of so many years as are to come-- MOR: Of my affliction. Good sir, depart, and let her do it alone. TRUE: I have done, sir. MOR: That cursed barber. TRUE: Yes, faith, a cursed wretch indeed, sir. MOR: I have married his cittern, that's common to all men. Some plague above the plague-- TRUE: All Egypt's ten plagues. MOR: Revenge me on him! TRUE: 'Tis very well, sir. If you laid on a curse or two more, I'll assure you he'll bear them. As, that he may get the pox with seeking to cure it, sir; or, that while he is curling another man's hair, his own may drop off; or, for burning some male-bawd's lock, he may have his brain beat out with the curling-iron. MOR: No, let the wretch live wretched. May he get the itch, and his shop so lousy, as no man dare come at him, nor he come at no man! TRUE: Ay, and if he would swallow all his balls for pills, let not them purge him. MOR: Let his warming pan be ever cold. TRUE: A perpetual frost underneath it, sir. MOR: Let him never hope to see fire again. TRUE: But in hell, sir. MOR: His chairs be always empty, his scissors rust, and his combs mould in
