_Grimes_, ty this cloath about his head: oh, for some blood! _Grimes_. Here, I have prickt my finger. _Tim_. Let you and I, Mr. _Crackby_, goe to buffitts for a bloody nose. _Crac_. No, no, you shall pardon me for that, _Tim_[82]; no, no; no boyes play. _Suc_. So, so; now set him in the chaires. Hart of valour! he looks like a Mapp oth world. Death, what are these?[83] _Enter Musike_. _Grimes_. The Town Waites whome I appointed to come and visitt us. _Suc_. 'Twas well donn: have you ere a good song? _Tim_. Yes, they have many. _Suc_. But are they bawdy? come, sir, I see by your simpring it is you that sings, but do not squeake like a _French_ Organ-pipe nor make faces as if you were to sing a Dirge. Your fellowes may goe behind the arras: I love to see Musitions in their postures imitate those ayrey soules that grace our Cittie Theaters, though in their noats they come as short of them as _Pan_ did of _Apollo_. [_Musike_. _Grimes_. Well, sir, this is indifferent Musicke, trust my judgment. Sing, boy. [_A song_. _Crac_. Now on my life this boy does sing as like the boy[84] at the _Whitefryers_ as ever I heard: how say you Captain? _Suc_. I, and the Musicks like theires: come, Sirra, whoes your Poett? _Crac_. Some mad wag, I warrant him: is this a new song? _Mus_. Tis the first edition, sir: none else but we had ever coppie of it. _Suc_. But you wilbe intreated to let a gent have it? _Mus_. By no meanes; the author has sworne to the contrary, least it should grow so wonderous old and turne a Ballad. _Crac_. Well said, Captain; the tother health, Captain: heres good wine, good Tobackoe, good everything: had we but a good wench or two twere excellent. _Suc_. Great _Alexander_, does not dreame of this, I warrant yee. _Grimes_. Oh, hees fast enough; heele be ready to cast up his accounts the easier when my lady calls him. _Crac_. Come, come; who payes the Musicke? Captain, you have my purse. _Suc_. Truths a truth from Infidell or Pagan: I am in trust, and that's beleife, and so it shalbe saved. Pay the Musick? umh, where are they? let me see, how many's of you, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6: good, can any of you daunce? _Mus_. Daunce? Yes, sir, we can shake our legs or soe. _Suc_. So said so don, brave ladd; come, letts have a daunce, some daunce and some play. _Mus_
