Ear. Come, Moll, come, Malkin:[50] we'll even to the camomile bed, and talk of household stuff; and be sure thou rememberest a trade.
Moll. Please you go before, sir.
Ear. Nay, an old ape has an old eye; I shall go before, an' thou woot show me a love-trick, and lock me into the garden. I will come discreetly behind, Moll.
Moll. Out upon him, what a suitor have I got! I am sorry you're so bad an archer, sir.
Ear. Why, bird, why, bird?
Moll. Why, to shoot at butts, when you should use prick-shafts: short shooting will lose you the game, I assure you, sir.
Ear. Her mind runs, sure, upon a fletcher[51] or a bowyer: howsoever, I'll inform against both; the fletcher, for taking whole money for pierced arrows: the bowyer, for horning the headmen of his parish, and taking money for his pains. [Exeunt.
Enter in the tavern, Alexander, the Captain, Lieutenant, Sue Shortheels, and Mistress Coote, a bawd.
Alex. Some rich canary, boy.
Drawer. Anon, anon, sir.
