Sce. 1.
Enter Hog, & Delia.Hog.
Protest you play the Lady excellently you out doe
Madam Cœlia.
Del.
He hath e'ne changd me into one with his talk; no
salutations but Madam Delia, and dear Lady cast not away
your sworn servant; he haunts me like a ghost in every
corner; so that to satisfie him J was content to answer to his
compellations and giue him leaue to be an asse.
Hog:
You did well to grant it, for he would take it else,
and be a fool in spight of your teeth.
Del.
This is the first hower of Liberty J haue had since
J knew him; last night he fell a sleep with a Lady in his
mouth by the kitchen fire, where he lay till morning, and
wakeing about Break-fast, as he is of an invincible stomack,
he preferd the cooks Larder before his Ladies chamber, and
presently after he had buried a tray of dead flesh, his appetite
was up for the liueing, and then he puld me worse then a
cold Capon.
Hog.
He is thine own, wench, by my turkey eggs he is.
Del.
Alass that oath is soon broaken.
Hog.
Well hen of the game, when you have scraped a
fortune out of the dunghill, you'l not envy your Hog a little
refin'd dirt to wallow in.
No, no, thou shalt swim in golden mires, and J will
tip thy snowt with silver, whilst thy head and ears lye sowct
in sack.
Hog.
You may see how J loue honesty more then bribes
for J haue rejected 2 dozen of waiting Gentlewomen, that
besides consideration in the hand, proferd other feeling.
Del:
J hope you will be true to me you haue found me none
of your hardest dealers.
Hog.
Yet, one of my Customeres is very importunate.
Del.
Who prethee? none of our house is it.
Hog.
No, no, she that sent me the box of Tobacco, J protest
she hath had a beer license lying by her in Lavender for the
opportunity long since; well, the next draught is hers.
Del.
Faith pitty her you know not what need there may be.
Hog.
What makes your Ladies Sutors altogether?
Del.
Some demurr, some half years vacation from wooing,
or such a toy, is agreeing on.
Hog.
Here is old seiges indeed.
Del:
And yet this castle must be sakt at last, and one
wisely consider, 'twere better yeild at first, then after so
much expence of men, time, & money.
Hog.
Come we will about the project instantly.
Exeunt.
