LA-F: Yes, 'tis very feasible: she'll do any thing she says, rather than the La-Fooles shall be disgraced. DAUP: She is a noble kinswoman. It will be such a pestling device, sir Amorous; it will pound all your enemy's practices to powder, and blow him up with his own mine, his own train. LA-F: Nay, we'll give fire, I warrant you. CLER: But you must carry it privately, without any noise, and take no notice by any means-- [RE-ENTER CAPTAIN OTTER.] OTT: Gentlemen, my princess says you shall have all her silver dishes, festinate: and she's gone to alter her tire a little, and go with you-- CLER: And yourself too, captain Otter? DAUP: By any means, sir. OTT: Yes, sir, I do mean it: but I would entreat my cousin sir Amorous, and you, gentlemen, to be suitors to my princess, that I may carry my bull and my bear, as well as my horse. CLER: That you shall do, captain Otter. LA-F: My cousin will never consent, gentlemen. |
