Ezel_? _Olin._ What, did you come in at the Door? _Hau._ Yes, marry did I; what, do you think I creep in like a Lapland Witch through the Key-holes? _Dor._ Nay, nay, this cannot be the Bridegroom. _Olin._ No, for 'tis but a moment since we left him, you know, in my Lady's Chamber. _Hau._ Very drunk, by this good Light. _Dor._ And therefore it cannot be _Myn heer Haunce_. _Hau._ What a Devil will you persuade me out of my Christian Name? _Olin._ The Priest has yet scarce done his Office, who is marrying him above to my Lady. _Hau._ _Salerimente_, here's brave doing, to marry me, and never give me notice; or thou art damnable drunk, or very mad. _Glo._ Yes, and I am married to you too, am I not? [To _Olinda_. _Olin._ You? we know neither of you. _Hau._ Ha, ha, ha, here's a turn for you. Enter _Carlo_. _Car._ Why, _Olinda_, _Dorice_, _Olinda_, where be these mad Girls? 'tis almost Night, and nothing in Order. Why, what now? Who's here? _Hau._ So the old Man's possest too-- Why, what a Devil ails you, Sir? [Goes roughly to him. _Car._ From whence come you, Sir? and what are you? _Hau._ _Gload_, let's be gone, for we shall be transmigrated into some strange Shapes anon, for all the House is inchanted. Who am I, quoth ye? before I came you all knew me; and now you are very well acquainted with me, you have forgot me. _Car._ If you be my Son _Haunce_, how came you here? _Hau._ If I be your Son _Haunce_, where should I be else? _Car._ Above with your Wife, not below amongst the Maids. _Hau._ What Wife? what Wife? Ha, ha, ha, do not provoke me, lest I take you a slap in the Face, I tell you that now. _Car._ Oh, I find by his Humour this is he, and I am finely cheated and abus'd. I'll up and know the Truth. [Goes out. _Hau._ And so will I. [Follows. _Glo._ Why, but Mistress _Olinda_, you have not, indeed, forgot me, have you? _Olin._ For my Lover I have, but perhaps I may call you to mind, as my Servant hereafter. _Glo._ Since you are so proud and so fickle, you shall stand hereafter as a Cypher with me; and I'll begin upon a new Account with this pretty Maid: what say you forsooth? _Dor._ I am willing enough to get a Husband as young as I am. _Glo._ Why, that's well said, give your Hand upon the Bargain-- God-ha'-Mercy, with all my Heart, i'faith.
