These I'le soon send for; arise, my _Pincula_.
_Enter a little Devil, and tumbles the Summerset._ _Jasp._ Heav'ns bless me! save me, good Aunt. _Witch._ From what? You Fool, 'tis but a little Boy, Which I instruct to carry on my Cheats: Come, leave your Fooling, I have bus'ness for you; Uncase your self, and quickly go and find _Ranter_, and _Swash_, _Dive_, _Fob_, _Snap_, _Gilt_, and _Pick-lock_, Those are my Archest Devils; as you go Call upon _Dog'rell_ the Ballad-maker, and say I want him strait, bid them be sure To bring home half a dozen more with them, For I shall need their help, let e'm not fail, For money's to be got. _Devil._ 'Tis that will make e'm come; I'le haste, forsooth. [Exit. _Jasp._ I'm glad it's gone, for surely it was a Devil, What ever you pretend. _Witch._ Thou'rt a Fool: It was a Boy, I tell thee, and no Devil; Nor am I a sorceress, though I could wish To do thee good I was: But 'tis no matter, Bring thou thy Lord, I'le practice well enough To make him think all true, that I shall shew him. |
