shelf. His beard so frowsy, his gestures so aukward are, | Both. You will lie till your're mouldy upon the Daph. You stump o' th' gutter, you hop o' my thumb, A husband for you must from Lilliput come. Nysa. You stalking steeple, you gawky stag, Daph. Nysa. Both. I'll humble your vanity, Mistress Trapes. Enter NYSA. Nysa. Marry come up, forsooth, Is't me, you forward vixen, Daph. You choose to play your tricks on? Nysa. And could your liquorish tooth Daph. Find none but my sweetheart to fix on? Nysa. Daph. No more of those freedoms, Miss Nysa, I beg. Nysa, Young birds alone are caught with chaff; | SCENE III.—A Lawn before MIDAS's House. At your base scheme I laugh. Mid. Yet take my vows Nysa. I would not take your bond, sir Mid. Half my estate Nysa. No; nor the whole-my fond sir. At your command, do but this job for Mysis. Count them-six guineas and an old Jacobus, Keep Pan, and shame that scape-grace coram nobis. Enter SILENO and DAMETAS, in warm Sil. My Daph a wife for thee, the squire's base pandar! To the plantations sooner would I send her. Dam. Sir, your good wife approved my offers. Sil. Name her not, hag of Eudor, What knew she of thee but thy coffers? Dam. And shall this ditch-born whelp, this jack-anapes, By dint of congees and of scrapes Sil. These are thy slanders, and that cankered hag's Dam. A thing made up of pilfered rags- Of flocks, and herds, and money-bags. AIR. If a rival thy character draw, In perfection he'll find out a flaw; With black he will paint, Make a de'il of a saint, And change to an owl a macca. Dam. Can a father pretend to be wise,. Who his friend's good advice would despise? Sil. Who, when danger is nigh, Throws his spectacles by, And blinks through a green girl's eyes? You're an impudent pimp, and a grub! Dam. You are fooled by a beggarly scrub; Your betters you snub. Sil. Who will lend me a club, This insolent puppy to drub? You are an impudent pimp, and a grub. Dam. You're cajoled by a beggarly scrub, Sil. Who will rot in a powdering tub. Dam. Whom the prince of impostors I dub; Sil. A guinea for a club, Dam. Your bald pate you'll rub, Sil. The muckworm to drub.
