Heigh. Ned.
Wal. What, let me come.
Master Pisaro, we have occasion of affairs,
Which calls us hence with speed; wherefore, I pray,
Defer this business till some fitter time,
And to perform what at the Exchange we spoke of.
Anth. A blessing on that tongue, saith Anthony.
[Aside.
Pis. Yes, marry, gentlemen, I will, I will.
Alvaro, to your task: fall to your task!
I'll bear away those three who, being here,
Would set my daughters on a merry pin:
Then cheerly try your lucks. But speak and speed;
For you alone, say I, shall do the deed.
[Exeunt Pisaro, Harvey, Walgrave, and
Heigham.
Fris. Hear you, master Mouse, did you dine to-day at Paul's with the rest of the gentlemen there?
Anth. No, sir, I am yet undined.
Fris. Methinks you should have a reasonable good stomach then by this time: as for me, I can feel[515] nothing within me from my mouth to my cod-piece, but all empty: wherefore I think it a piece of wisdom to go in and see what Maudlin hath provided for our dinner. Master Mouse, will you go in?
Anth. With as good a stomach and desire as yourself.
