Let Titan rife as early as he dare,

I'll through and through you!-And thou, great-fiz'd

coward!

No space of earth shall funder our two hates ;
I'll haunt thee like a wicked confcience ftill,
That mouldeth goblins fwift as frenzy thoughts.-
Strike a free march to Troy!-with comfort go:
Hope of revenge fhall hide our inward woe.

[Exeunt ÆNEAS, and Trojans.

As TROILUS is going out, enter, from the other fide, PANDARUS.

Pan. But hear you, hear you!

Tro. Hence, broker lackey! ignominy and shame Pursue thy life, and live aye with thy name!

[Exit TROILUS.

Pan. A goodly medicine for my aching bones!—O world! world! world! thus is the poor agent defpis'd! O traitors and bawds, how earneftly are you fet a' work, and how ill requited! Why fhould our endeavour be fo loved, and the performance so loath'd? what verse for it? what inftance for it ?-Let me fee :

Full merrily the humble-bee doth fing,
Till he hath loft his honey, and his fting:
And being once fubdu'd in armed tail,

Sweet honey and sweet notes together fail.

Good traders in the flesh, set this in your painted cloths.

As many as be here of pander's hall,
Your eyes, half out, weep out at Pandar's fall:
Or, if you cannot weep, yet give fome groans,
Though not for me, yet for your aching bones.

Brethren,

Brethren, and sisters, of the hold-door trade,

Some two months hence my will shall here be made :
It should be now, but that my fear is this,-
Some galled goose of Winchester would hiss:
Till then I'll sweat, and seek about for eases;
And, at that time, bequeath you my diseases.

[Exit.
