dream'd of.
_Pyr._ Wee held discourse of a perfum'd asse,
that being disguis'd in a lions case imagin'd
himself a lion: I hope that toucht not you.
_Buss._ So, sir? Your descants doe marvellous
well fit this ground; we shall meet where your
buffonly laughters will cost ye the best blood in
your bodies.
_Bar._ For lifes sake, let's be gone; hee'll kill's
outright else.
_Buss._ Goe, at your pleasures; Ile be your
ghost to haunt you; and yee sleepe an't, hang
me.
_L'An._ Goe, goe, sir; court your mistresse.
_Pyr._ And be advis'd; we shall have odds
against you.
_Buss._ Tush, valour stands not in number: Ile
maintaine it that one man may beat three boyes.
_Brisac._ Nay, you shall have no ods of him in
number, sir; hee's a gentleman as good as the
proudest of you, and yee shall not wrong him.
_Bar._ Not, sir?
_Melynell._ Not, sir; though he be not so rich,
hee's a better man than the best of you; and I
will not endure it.
_L'An._ Not you, sir?
_Bris._ No, sir, nor I.
_Buss._ I should thank you for this kindnesse,
if I thought these perfum'd musk-cats (being
out of this priviledge) durst but once mew at us.
_Bar._ Does your confident spirit doubt that,
sir? Follow us and try.
_L'An._ Come, sir, wee'll lead you a dance.
Exeunt.
