ke that. 1 _Play againe_. _Capt_. Nor that. (_Play againe_)--No, no, no, neither. 1. An't please your Worship, Mr. _Capt_., our Boyes can singe songs to these. _Cap_. No, no, saveing your presence, your Boyes have nothing, sarreverence,[263] but Love songs, and I hate those monstruously, to make thinges appeare better then they are, and that is but _deceptio Visus_, which after some embraceings the parties see presently what it is. _The Musique Playes_. (_Hee sings and reeks and fillips all the time with his finger, then sayees_:) _Cap_. I, I, this thumping tune I like a life; a Song, a Song to it! _One Singes. This Song. _The Juice of Spanish squeez'd Grapes is It That makes a dull Braine so full of witt; The Lemonades cleere sparkling wine The grosser witts too, doth much refine.

And now begon, my Masters, without noise, for I will have no more fiddle-faddle for my money, no tunes of supererrogation after the Musicall Bill is paid. [_Exeunt[266] omnes_. [SCENE 2.] _Enter Thomas_. _Tho_. They are all drunke already, and such Confusion in their heads and tongues, my master kisses the next man and calls him Mistres _Dorothy_; Mr. _Courtwell_, possest with the spiritt of defiance to _Cupid_, is ready to beat him for being in love; my Projector dead drunk in a Chaire, and the Captaine peepeing into his mouth like a tooth drawer and powring downe sack which he feeles not, but his chapps shut againe like a spring lock till he returne with a key to open his teeth, to poure i
