MRS. OTT: Ah!-- [MRS. OTTER, DAW, AND LA-FOOLE RUN OFF.] OTT: Mistress Mary Ambree, your examples are dangerous. Rogues, hell-hounds, Stentors! out of my doors, you sons of noise and tumult, begot on an ill May-day, or when the galley-foist is afloat to Westminster! [DRIVES OUT THE MUSICIANS.] A trumpeter could not be conceived but then! DAUP: What ails you, sir? MOR: They have rent my roof, walls, and all my windows asunder, with their brazen throats. [EXIT.] TRUE: Best follow him, Dauphine. DAUP: So I will. [EXIT.] CLER: Where's Daw and La-Foole? OTT: They are both run away, sir. Good gentlemen, help to pacify my princess, and speak to the great ladies for me. Now must I go lie with the bears this fortnight, and keep out of the way, till my peace be made, for this scandal she has taken. Did you not see my bull-head, gentlemen? |
