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.
Then to bee foxd[264] it is no crime,

_Boy_. No, Captaine, I say white wine at the Divell.
_Cap_. That's true; thats a good Boy, indeed. _Underwit_, lend mee a
Peice to give these harmonious men there. 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
