Pro. Methinks The Knight of the brning Pestle were better.
Wife. I'll be sworn Husband.
That's as good a name as can be.
Cit. Let it be so, begin, begin;
My Wife and I will sit down.
Pro. I pray you do.
Cit. What stately Musick have you?
You have Shawnes.
Pro. Shawns? no.
Cit. No?
I'm a thief if my mind did not give me so.
Ralph plaies a stately part,
And he must needs have Shawns:
I'll be at the charge of them my self,
Rather than we'll be without them.
Pro. So you are like to be.
Cit. Why and so I will be,
There's two shillings,
Let's have the Waits of Southwark,
They are as rare fellows as any are in England;
And that will fetch them all o'r the water, with a vengeance,
As if they were mad.
Pro. You shall have them:
Will you sit down then?
