MOR: Sir--
TRUE: Or, may he cut a collier's throat with his razor, by chance-medley, and yet be hanged for't. MOR: I will forgive him, rather than hear any more. I beseech you, sir. [ENTER DAW, INTRODUCING LADY HAUGHTY, CENTAURE, MAVIS, AND TRUSTY.] DAW: This way, madam. MOR: O, the sea breaks in upon me! another flood! an inundation! I shall be overwhelmed with noise. It beats already at my shores. I feel an earthquake in my self for't. DAW: 'Give you joy, mistress. MOR: Has she servants too! DAW: I have brought some ladies here to see and know you. My lady Haughty-- [AS HE PRESENTS THEM SEVERALLY, EPI. KISSES THEM.] this my lady Centaure--mistress Dol Mavis--mistress Trusty, my lady Haughty's woman. Where's your husband? let's see him: can he endure no noise? let me come to him. MOR: What nomenclator is this! |
