_Poet_. This do I hold to be the interpretation of it: In this word Necessary, is concluded all that be helps to Man; Woman was made the first, and therefore here the chiefest. _Young Lo_. Believe me 'tis a learned one; and by these words, The obedience of my people, you Steward being one, are bound to fetch us Wenches. _Capt_. He is, he is. _Young Lo_. Steward, attend us for instructions. _Sav_. But will you keep no house Sir? _Young Lo_. Nothing but drink Sir, three hundred pounds in drink. _Sav_. O miserable house, and miserable I that live to see it! Good Sir keep some meat. _Young Lo_. Get us good Whores, and for your part, I'le board you in an Alehouse, you shall have Cheese and Onions. _Sav_. What shall become of me, no Chimney smoaking? Well Prodigal, your Brother will come home. [_Exit_. _Young Lo_. Come Lads, I'le warrant you for Wenches, three hundred pounds in drink. |
