onour in you? _Limb._ Well, honour is honour, and I must go: But I shall never get me such another Pug again! O, my heart! my poor tender heart! it is just breaking with Pug's unkindness! [_They drag him out._ SCENE II.--WOODALL _and_ TRICKSY _discovered in the Garden-house._ _Enter_ GERVASE _to them._ _Gerv._ Make haste, and save yourself, sir; the enemy's at hand: I have discovered him from the corner, where you set me sentry. _Wood._ Who is it? _Gerv._ Who should it be, but Limberham? armed with a two-hand fox. O Lord, O Lord! _Trick._ Enter quickly into the still-house, both of you, and leave me to him: There is a spring-lock within, to open it when we are gone. _Wood._ Well, I have won the party and revenge, however: A minute longer, and I had won the tout. [_They go in: She locks the Door._ _Enter_ LIMBERHAM, _with a great Sword._ _Limb._ Disloyal Pug! _Trick._ What humour is this? you are drunk, it seems: Go sleep. _Limb._ Thou hast robbed me of my repose for ever: I am like Macbeth, after the death of good king Duncan; methinks a voice says to me,--Sleep no more; Tricksy has murdered sleep. _Trick._ Now I find it: You are willing to save your settlement, and are sent by some of your wise counsellors, to pick a quarrel with me. _Limb._ I have been your cully above these seven years; but, at last, my eyes are opened to your witchcraft; and indulgent heaven has taken care of my preservation.
