e, than one unworthy: Goe seek some Mistris that a horse may marry, And keep her company, she is too good for ye. [_Exit._ _Sep._ Marry this goes near; now I perceive I am hatefull, When this light stuff can distinguish, it grows dangerous, For mony, seldom they refuse a Leper: But sure I am more odious, more diseas'd too: _Enter three lame_ Souldiers.
