PUT. Sfoot, how many yards are in thy Garters, that thou art so long a tying on them? come away, sir.
PYE. Troth, Sergeant, I protest, you could never ha took me at a worse time; for now at this instant I have no lawful picture about me.
PUT.
Slid, how shall we come by our fees then?
RAVEN.
We must have fees, Sirra.
PYE. I could ha wisht, ifaith, that you had took me half an hour hence for your own sake; for I protest, if you had not crossed me, I was going in great joy to receive five pound of a Gentleman, for the Device of a Mask here, drawn in this paper. But now, come, I must be contented: tis but so much lost, and answerable to the rest of my fortunes.
PUT.
Why, how far hence dwells that Gentleman?
RAVEN.
Aye, well said, sergeant, tis good to cast about for money.
PUT.
Speak; if it be not far—
PYE.
We are but a little past it, the next street behind us.
PUT. Slid, w have waited upon you grievously already: if you’ll say you’ll be liberal when you hate, give us double fees, and spend upon’s, why we’ll show you that kindness, and go along with you to the Gentleman.
