Why?
Staph.
As I understand, you've brought no wine.
Strob.
But 'twill be brought anon, when Sir returns
From market.
Staph.
We have got no fire-wood.
Cong.
How?
Have you no beams?
Staph.
Yes sure.
Cong.
There's wood enough then.
Staph.
Why, filthy rogue! wouldst have us fire the house,
That you may dress the supper, and be paid for't?
Cong.
Nay, nay, I am not so unconscionable.
Strob.
Prithee now shew them in.
Staph.
Come, follow me.
[Staphila, Cooks, &c. go into Euclio's house, and Strobilus with the rest go into Megadorus's.
