Sec. Clo. Was he a gentleman? 30
First Clo. A' was the first that ever bore arms.[1981]
Sec. Clo. Why, he had none.[1982]
First Clo. What, art a heathen? How dost thou understand[1982][1983]
the Scripture? The Scripture says Adam digged:[1982]
could he dig without arms? I'll put another question[1982] 35
to thee: if thou answerest me not to the purpose, confess[1984]
thyself—[1985]
Sec. Clo. Go to.
First Clo. What is he that builds stronger than either
the mason, the shipwright, or the carpenter? 40
Sec. Clo. The gallows-maker; for that frame outlives a[1986]
thousand tenants.
First Clo. I like thy wit well, in good faith: the gallows
does well; but how does it well? it does well to those that
do ill: now, thou dost ill to say the gallows is built stronger 45
than the church: argal, the gallows may do well to thee.
To't again, come.
Sec. Clo. 'Who builds stronger than a mason, a shipwright,
or a carpenter?'[1987]
First Clo. Ay, tell me that, and unyoke. 50
