The Floating Island | ||
Scena VI.
Enter Hilario before Melancholico and Concupiscence, brought in a Sedan.Hil.
Now Sister you are right: now you can snuffle
‘As well a Melancolico. Care of fiction
“With help of somewhat else hath brought perfection.
“None come in Pomp but you: weakenesse is stately.
“Twere brave if these two beasts that draw without
“And these two rotten carcasses within
‘Made it not look so Cart-like. My clean couple,
If you would be divorc'd, there's none can do't
Like Desperato; he can seperate
At a worlds distance; that ye ner'e shall meet
To clamour me or others, or your selves.
Fan.
“A pretty kinde of Coach; one horse before
“And one behinde!
Am.
“Horses? why, these are Men.
I see it now; it is the glassmans pack.
“Have you good choice of Glasses, made in Figure
“Of Guns and Trumpets, or of Rats and Owles?
“Last time I saw the like, I bid a Gallant
“Begin a health, and after break his glasse:
“So did the rest; but do not do so now,
“Least for a Glasse some should mistake a Lady.
Hil.
“Femals are Venice mettle.
Am.
These sad men
Use to be sumptuous in their Feasts.
Hil.
And witty.
Tim.
I fear 'twill be too great.
Ir.
Too tedious.
Au.
Wellcome and bold I'le be.—
