Faith you are too outrageous; but come near, I have procured your pardons;
welcome all.
R
OB
.
Nay, sir, we will be welcome for our money, and we will pay for what we
take. What ho! give's half a dozen of beer here, and be hanged.
F
AUST
.
Nay, hark you, can you tell me where you are? Cart. Ay, marry, can I, we are
under heaven.
S
ERV
.
Ay; but, Sir Saucebox, know you in what place?
H
ORSE
-C.
Ay, ay, the house is good enough to drink in; zouns! fill us some beer, or
we'll break all the barrels in the house, and dash out all your brains with your
bottles.
F
AUST
.
Be not so furious; come, you shalt have beer. My lord, beseech you give me
leave awhile, I'll gage my credit 'twill content your grace.
D
UKE
.
With all my heart, kind Doctor, please thyself, Our servants and our court's at
thy command.
F
AUST
.
I humbly thank your grace;—then fetch some beer.
H
ORSE
-C.
Ay, marry! there spake a doctor, indeed! and faith, I'll drink a health to thy
wooden leg for that word.
F
AUST
.
My wooden leg! what dost thou mean by that?

C
ART
.
Ha, ha, ha! dost hear him, Dick? he has forgot his leg.
H
ORSE
-C.
Ay, ay, he does not stand much upon that.
F
AUST
.
No, faith, not much upon a wooden leg.
C
ART
.
Good Lord! that flesh and blood should be so frail with your worship! Do not
you remember a horse-courser you sold a horse to?
F
AUST
.
Yes, I remember I sold one a horse.
C
ART
.
And do you remember you bid he should not ride into the water?
F
AUST
.
Yes, I do very well remember that.
C
ART
.
And do you remember nothing of your leg.
F
AUST
.
No, in good sooth.
C
ART
.
Then, I pray, remember your courtesy.
F
AUST
.
I thank you, sir.

C
ART
.
'Tis not so much worth: I pray you tell me one thing.
F
AUST
.
“What's that?
C
ART
.
Be both your legs bedfellows every night together?
F
AUST
.
Would'st thou make a Colossus of me, that thou askest me such a question?
C
ART
.
No, truly, sir, I would make nothing of you; but I would fain know that.
Enter Hostess with drink.
F
AUST
.
Then I assure thee, certainly they are.
C
ART
.
I thank you, I am fully satisfied.
F
AUST
.
But wherefore dost thou ask?
C
ART
.
For nothing, sir; but methinks you should have a wooden bedfellow of one of
'em.
H
ORSE
-C.
Why, do you hear, sir, did not I pull off one of your legs when you were
asleep?
F
AUST
.
But I have it again now I am awake? look you here, sir.
