oo common: But this Sir Giles feeds high, keeps many servants, Who must at his command do any outrage; Rich in his habit; vast in his expenses; Yet he to admiration still increases In wealth and lordships. _Order._ He frights men out of their estates, And breaks through all law-nets, made to curb ill men, As they were cobwebs. No man dares reprove him. Such a spirit to dare, and power to do, were never Lodg'd so unluckily. _Enter_ Amble. _Amble._ Ha! ha! I shall burst. _Order._ Contain thyself, man. _Fur._ Or make us partakers Of your sudden mirth. _Amble._ Ha! ha! my lady has got Such a guest at her table, this term-driver, Marall, This snip of an attorney. _Fur._ What of him, man? _Amble._ The knave stinks, and feeds so slovenly! _Fur._ Is this all? _Amble._ My lady Drank to him for fashion's sake, or to please Mr. Wellborn, As I live, he rises, and takes up a dish, In which there were some remnants of a boil'd capon, And pledges her in white broth.

However in my language I am sparing. Come, Mr. Marall. _Mar._ I attend your worship. [_Exeunt_ Wellborn _and_ Marall. _Lady A._ I see in your looks you are sorry, and you know me An easy mistress: be merry! I have forgot all. Order and Furnace, come with me; I must give you Farther directions. [_Exit._ _Order._ What you please. _Fur._ We are ready. [_Exeunt._ SCENE III.--_The Country._ _Enter_ Wellborn _and_ Marall. _Wellb._ I think I am in a good way. _Mar._ Good sir, the best way; The certain best way. _Wellb._ There are casualties That men are subject to. _M
