Lop.
A Lawyer, that entangles
all mens honesties,
And lives like a Spider
in a Cobweb lurking,
And catching at all
Flies, that pass his pit-falls?
Puts powder to all States,
to make ’em caper?
Would he trust you?
Do you deserve?
Die.
I find, Gentlemen,
This Cataplasm of a
well cozen’d Lawyer
Laid to my stomach,
lenifies my Feaver,
Methinks I could eat
now, and walk a little.
Bar.
I am asham’d to
feel how flat I am cheated,
How grossly, and maliciously
made a May-game,
A damned trick; my Wife,
my Wife, some Rascal:
My Credit, and my Wife,
some lustful Villain,
Some Bawd, some Rogue.
Ars.
Some crafty Fool has
found ye:
This ’tis, Sir,
to teach ye to be too busie,
To covet all the gains,
and all the rumours,
To have a stirring Oare
in all mens actions.
Lop.
We did this, but to vex your fine officiousness.
Bar.
Good yield ye, and good
thank ye: I am fooled, Gentlemen;
The Lawyer is an Ass,
I do confess it,
A weak dull shallow
Ass: good even to your Worships:
Vicar, remember Vicar,
Rascal, remember,
Thou notable rich Rascal.
Die.
I do remember, Sir,
’Pray ye stay a little, I have ev’n
two Legacies
To make your mouth up, Sir.
Bar.
Remember Varlets,
Quake and remember, Rogues;
I have brine for your Buttocks.
[Exit.
Lop.
Oh how he frets, and fumes now like a Dunghil!
Die.
His gall contains fine stuff now
to make poysons,
Rare damned stuff.
Ars.
Let’s after him,
and still vex him,
And take my Friend off:
by this time he has prosper’d,
He cannot lose this
dear time: ’tis impossible.
Mil.
Well Diego, thou hast done.
Lop.
Hast done it daintily.
Mil.
And shalt be as well paid, Boy—
Ars.
Go, let’s crucifie him.
[Exeunt.
SCENA VI.
Enter Amaranta, Leandro.
Lean.
I have told ye all my story, and how desperately.
Ama.
I do believe: let’s
walk on, time is pretious,
Not to be spent in words,
here no more wooing,
The open Air’s
an enemy to Lovers,
Do as I tell ye.
Lean.
I’le do any thing,
I am so over-[joy’d],
I’le fly to serve ye.
Am.
