Enter two Seruing-men.
Orl.

How now knaues, whither wander you?


1.

To seeke your Worship.


Orl.

Stay, which of you has my purse, what money
haue you about you?


2.

Some fifteene or sixteene pounds, sir.


Orl.

Giue it me, I thinke I haue some gold about me; yes,
it's well; leaue my Lodging at Court, and get you home.
Come sir, tho I neuer turned any man out of doores, yet Ile
be so bold as to pull your Coate ouer your eares.


1.

What doe you meane to doe sir?


Orl.

Hold thy tongue knaue, take thou my Cloake, I hope I
play not the paltry Merchant in this bartring; bid the
Steward of my house, sleepe with open eyes in my absence,
and to looke to all things, whatsoeuer I command by Letters
to be done by you, see it done. So, does it sit well?


2.

As if it were made for your Worship.


Orl.

You proud Varlets, you need not bee ashamed to
weare blue, when your Master is one of your fellowes; away,
doe not see me.


Both.

This is excellent.


Exeunt.
Orl.

I should put on a worse suite too; perhaps I will.



My Vizard is on, now to this maske. Say I should shaue off
this Honor of an old man, or tye it vp shorter; Well, I will
spoyle a good face for once. My beard being off, how should
I looke? euen like

A Winter Cuckoo, or vnfeatherd Owle;
Yet better lose this haire, then lose her soule.

Exit.
