Nev. I forbid any man to mend 'em, sir. Good night unto your worship.
Sir J. Wor. Wilt not stay?
Nev. Alas, sir! I have another to set forth
This very night. By your leave, my masters.
[Exit Nevill through them.
2d Ser. By your leave! by your leave! you'll let a man go out?
Sir J. Wor. Now, go with me, and let all in that will.
[Exit Sir John Worldly with them, and run in three or four.
SCENE II.
Enter two or three, setting three or four chairs and four or five stools. Loud music; in which time enter Sir John Worldly, Sir Innocent, Bellafront, Lucida, Kate, my Lady Ninny, Mistress Wagtail. They seat themselves. Lady Ninny offers at two or three chairs; at last finds the great one; they point at her and laugh. As soon as she is set, she drinks of her bottle. The music plays, and they enter. After one strain of the music, Scudmore takes Bellafront, who seems unwilling to dance. Count takes Lucida; Pendant, Kate; Sir Abraham, Mistress Wagtail: Scudmore, as they stand (the other courting too), whispers as follows:—
Scud. I am your Scudmore.
[Soft music.
