ACT I.

SCENE I.-A Village.

WELLBORN discovered, with a large rough Stick, in
tattered apparel, knocking at the Alehouse door,
L. S. E. TAPWELL and FROTH come from the House.
Well. [Goes to R.] No credit, nor no liquor?
Tap. (c.) Not a suck, sir:

Nor the remainder of a single can,

Left by a drunken porter.

Froth. (L.) Not the dropping of the tap for your morning's draught, sir:

"Tis verity, I assure you.

Well. Verity, you brache!

[Crosses to c.

The devil turned precision? Rogue, what am I?

Tap. (R.) Troth, durst I trust you with a looking

glass,

To let you see your trim shape, you would quit me,

And take the name yourself.

Well. (c.) How? dog!

[Raising his cudgel.

Tap. Advance your Plymouth cloak,

There dwells, and within call, if it please your worship,

A potent monarch, call'd the constable,

That does command a citadel, call'd the stocks;

Such as with great dexterity will hale

Your threadbare, tatter'd

Well. Rascal ! slave!
Froth. No rage, sir.

Tap. At his own peril! Do not put yourself
In too much heat, there being no water near
To quench your thirst; and other drink, I take it,
You must no more remember; not in a dream, sir.
