Min. I thinke (sauing your reuerence) Sir Adam a puppy, for a dog is the most louing creature to a christian that is, vnles it be a childe.
Sir Ad. No, I thinke if loue should bee turn’d away, and goe to serue any beast, it must bee an Ape, and my reason——
Sir Vaugh. Sir Adam, an Ape? ther’s no more reason in an Ape, than in a very plaine Monkey; for an Ape has no tayle, but we all know, or tis our duty to know, loue has two tailes; In my sudsment, if loue be a beast, that beast is a bunce of Reddis; for a bunce of Reddis is wise meate without Mutton, and so is loue.
Mi. Ther’s the yawning Captaine (sauing your reuerence that has such a sore mouth) would one day needes perswade me, that loue was a Rebato; and his reason was (sauing your reuerence) that a Rebato was worne out with pinning too often; and so he said loue was.
Sir Vaugh. And Master Captaine Tucca sayd wisely too, loue is a Rebato indeede: a Rebato must be poaked; now many women weare Rebatoes, and many that weare Rebatoes——
Sir Adam. Must be poakt.
Sir Vau. Sir Adam Prickshaft has hit the cloute.
Musicke.
Sir qui. The Musicke speakes to vs, we’ll haue a daunce before dinner.
