A high pair of gallows for Mordecai the Jew,
And was the first himself that thereon was hanged:

And ere I leap once, I will look twice.
New. Well, Tom Tosspot, first let me hear thee.

Tom. You know that Tom Tosspot men do me call?
New. A knave thou hast always been, and evermore shall.
Tom. My conditions, I am sure, ye know as well as I.
