Though I can scarcely go, I needs must run——
[Exit Humphrey and Ralph.
Wife. Run, Ralph; run, Ralph; run for thy life, boy; Jasper comes, Jasper comes!
Jasp. Come, Luce, we must have other arms for you.
Humphrey and Golden Pestle, both adieu. [Exeunt.
Wife. Sure the devil, God bless us, is in this springald; why, George, didst ever see such a fire-drake? I am afraid my boy's miscarried; if he be, though he were Master Merry-thought's son a thousand times, if there be any law in England, I'll make some of them smart for't.
Cit. No, no, I have found out the matter, sweetheart. Jasper is enchanted as sure as we are here, he is enchanted; he could no more have stood in Ralph's hands than I can stand in my Lord Mayor's; I'll have a ring to discover all enchantments, and Ralph shall beat him yet. Be no more vexed, for it shall be so.
Enter Ralph, Squire, Dwarf, Mistress Merry-thought, and Michael.
Wife. Oh, husband, here's Ralph again; stay, Ralph, let me speak with thee; how dost thou, Ralph? Art thou not shrewdly hurt? The foul great lunges laid unmercifully on thee! There's some sugar-candy for thee; proceed, thou shalt have another bout with him.
Cit. If Ralph had him at the fencing-school, if he did not make a puppy of him, and drive him up and down the school, he should ne'er come in my shop more.
