I thought 'twas your knavery to take it away: come, give it me again. ROBIN. Ay, much!<142> when, can you tell?--Dick, make me a circle, and stand close at my back, and stir not for thy life.--Vintner, you shall have your cup anon.--Say nothing, Dick.--[Reads from a book] O per se, O; Demogorgon; Belcher, and Mephistophilis! Enter MEPHISTOPHILIS. MEPHIST. You princely legions of infernal rule, How am I vexed by these villains' charms! >From Constantinople have they brought me now, Only for pleasure of these damned slaves. [Exit VINTNER.] ROBIN. By lady,<143> sir, you have had a shrewd journey of it! will it please you to<144> take a shoulder of mutton to supper, and a tester<145> in your purse, and go back again? DICK. Ay, I pray you heartily, sir; for we called you but in jest, I promise you. |
