CUT: He will cough out the rest, sir.
PAR: Uh, uh, uh! MOR: Away, away with him! stop his mouth! away! I forgive it.-- [EXIT CUT. THRUSTING OUT THE PAR.] EPI: Fie, master Morose, that you will use this violence to a man of the church. MOR: How! EPI: It does not become your gravity, or breeding, as you pretend, in court, to have offer'd this outrage on a waterman, or any more boisterous creature, much less on a man of his civil coat. MOR: You can speak then! EPI: Yes, sir. MOR: Speak out, I mean. EPI: Ay, sir. Why, did you think you had married a statue, or a motion, only? one of the French puppets, with the eyes turn'd with a wire? or some innocent out of the hospital, that would stand with her hands thus, and a plaise mouth, and look upon you? MOR: O immodesty! a manifest woman! What, Cutbeard! |
