CLOWN. Nay, sir, you may save<39> yourself a labour, for they
are as familiar with me as if they paid for their meat and drink,

WAGNER. Well, sirrah, leave your jesting, and take these guilders.

CLOWN. Yes, marry, sir; and I thank you too.

WAGNER. So, now thou art to be at an hour's warning, whensoever

CLOWN. Here, take your guilders again;<40> I'll none of 'em.

WAGNER. Not I; thou art pressed: prepare thyself, or<41> I will
