Faith, you haue [no] reason, for I am like to break your yong neck. PED. Dost thou mock me, hangman? Pray God I be not preserued to break your knaues-pate for this! HANG. Alas, sir, you are a foot too low to reach it, and I hope you will neuer grow so high while I am in office. PED. Sirra, dost see yonder boy with the box in his hand? HANG. What, he that points to it with his finger? PED. I, that companion. HANG. I know him not; but what of him? PED. Doost thou think to liue till his olde doublet will make thee a new truss? HANG. I, and many a faire yeere after, to trusse vp many an honester man then either thou or he. |
