2d Con. Appear, appear; what are you?

Mul. A simple vintner.

1st Con. A vintner ha! and simple; draw nearer, nearer; here’s the cloak.    41

2d Con. Ay, Master Vintner, we know you: a plain stuff cloak; ’tis it.

1st Con. Right, come! O thou varlet, dost not thou know that the wicked cannot ’scape the eyes of the constable?

Mul. What means this violence? As I am an honest man I took the cloak——

1st Con. As you are a knave, you took the cloak, we are your witnesses for that.    50

Mul. But, hear me, hear me! I’ll tell you what I am.

2d Con. A thief you are.

Mul. I tell you my name is Mulligrub.
