Adul. No!
[Oppr. No!
Insol. No!
Adul. No!
Avar. That, that, that! that, that, that!
Sir, I intend Dame Respublica t'assail;
And, so to creep in to be of her counsel;
I hope well to bring her in such a paradise
That herself shall sue me to have my service;
Then shall I have time and power to bring in you three.
Oppr. Do this out of hand, founder! and first, speak for me;
Bring me in credit that my hands be in the pie:
An I get not elbow room among them, let me lie.
Avar. Nay! see an Oppression, this eager elf,
Be not since more covetous than covetous self!
Soft! be not so hasty, I pray you, Sir! soft awhile!
You will over the hedge ere ye come at the stile.
Oppr. I would fain be shouldering and rumbling among them.
Avar. Nay! I will help javels as shall wrong them.
Adul. I pray you, good founder! let not me be the last.
