Dol. Hark to that clause.
Sce. And that speedily,
That nature may be eas’d of such
a Monster. [Exit.
Sep. Yet all this moves not me: nor reflects on me: I keep my gold still, and my confidence, Their want of breeding makes these fellows murmur, Rude valors, so I let ’em pass; rude honours: There is a wench yet, that I know, affects me And company for a King: a young plump villain, That when she sees this gold, she’l leap upon me.
Enter Eros.
And here she comes: I am sure of
her at midnight,
My pretty Eros welcom.
Eros. I have business.
Sep. Above my love, thou canst not.
Eros. Yes indeed Sir,
Far, far above.
Sep. Why, why so coy? ’pray
ye tell me
We are alone.
Eros. I am much asham’d we are so.
Sep. You want a new Gown now, &
a handsom Petticoat,
A Skarf, and some odd toyes: I have
gold here ready,
Thou shal[t] have any thing.
Eros. I want your absence:
Keep on your way, I care not for your
company.
Sep. How? how? you are very short:
do you know me Eros?
And what I have been to ye?
Eros. Yes I know ye:
And I hope I shall forget ye: Whilst
you were honest
I lov’d ye too.
Sep. Honest? come prethee kiss me.
Eros. I kiss no knaves, no Murderers, no Beasts, No base betrayers of those men that fed ’em, I hate their looks; and though I may be wanton, I scorn to nourish it with bloody purchase, Purchase so foully got; I pray ye unhand me I had rather touch the plague, than one unworthy: Goe seek some Mistris that a horse may marry, And keep her company, she is too good for ye. [Exit.
Sep. Marry this goes near; now I perceive I am hatefull, When this light stuff can distinguish, it grows dangerous, For mony, seldom they refuse a Leper: But sure I am more odious, more diseas’d too:
Enter three lame Souldiers.
It sits cold here; what are these? three
poor Souldiers?
Both poor and lame: their misery
may make ’em
A little look upon me, and adore me,
If these will keep me company, I am made
yet.
1 Sol. The pleasure Caesar
sleeps in, makes us miserable,
We are forgot, our maims and dangers laugh’d
at;
He Banquets, and we beg.
