Is our old enemy entomb'd?
_Abig_. He's safe.
_Rog_. And does he snore out supinely with the Poet?
_Mar_. No, he out-snores the Poet.
_Wel_. Gentlewoman, this courtesie shall bind a stranger to you, ever your
servant.
_Mar_. Sir, my Sisters strictness makes not us forget you are a stranger
and a Gentleman.
_Abig_. In sooth Sir, were I chang'd into my Lady, a Gentleman so well
indued with parts, should not be lost.
_Wel_. I thank you Gentlewoman, and rest bound to you. See how this foul
familiar chewes the Cud: From thee, and three and fifty good Love deliver
me.
_Mar_. Will you sit down Sir, and take a spoon?
_Wel_. I take it kindly, Lady.
_Mar_. It is our best banquet Sir.
_Rog_. Shall we give thanks?
_Wel_. I have to the Gentlewomen already Sir.
_Mar_. Good Sir _Roger_, keep that breath to cool your part o'th' Posset,
you may chance have a scalding zeal else; and you will needs be doing,
pray tell your twenty to your self. Would you could like this Sir?
_Wel_. I would your Sister would like me as well Lady.
_Mar_. Sure Sir, she would not eat you: but banish that imagination; she's
only wedded to her self, lyes with her self, and loves her self; and for
another Husband than herself, he may knock at the gate, but ne're come in:
be wise Sir, she's a Woman, and a trouble, and has her many faults, the
least of which is, she cannot love you.
