Exeunt
Actus quintus.
Scaena prima.
[A Street]
Enter Liladam, Taylor, Officers.
Lila Why ’tis both most vnconscionable, and vntimely
T’arrest a gallant for his cloaths, before
He has worne them out: besides you sayd you ask’d
My name in my Lords bond but for me onely,
And now you’l lay me vp for’t. Do not thinke [5]
The taking measure of a customer
By a brace of varlets, though I rather wait
Neuer so patiently, will proue a fashion
Which any Courtier or Innes of court man
Would follow willingly.
Tayl. There I beleeue you. [10]
But sir, I must haue present moneys, or
Assurance to secure me, when I shall.—
Or I will see to your comming forth.
Lila. Plague on’t,
You haue prouided for my enterance in:
That comming forth you talke of, concernes me. [15]
What shall I doe? you haue done me a disgrace
In the arrest, but more in giuing cause
To all the street, to thinke I cannot stand
Without these two supporters for my armes:
Pray you let them loose me: for their satisfaction [20]
I will not run away.
Tayl. For theirs you will not,
But for your owne you would; looke to them fellows.
Lila. Why doe you call them fellows? doe not wrong
Your reputation so, as you are meerely
A Taylor, faythfull, apt to beleeue in Gallants [25]
You are a companion at a ten crowne supper
For cloth of bodkin, and may with one Larke
Eate vp three manchets, and no man obserue you,
Or call your trade in question for’t. But when
You study your debt-booke, and hold correspondence [30]
With officers of the hanger, and leaue swordmen,
The learned conclude, the Taylor and Sergeant
In the expression of a knaue are these
To be Synonima. Looke therefore to it,
And let vs part in peace, I would be loth [35]
You should vndoe your selfe.
