_Thomas_, of being drunke, for it doth drowne the
mortall soule; and yours cannot swim, _Thomas_,--can it?
_Tho_. Not as I know, Captaine; if it scape fire tis as much as I
looke for.
_Within Eng_. Oh--oh--
_Cap_. What's that?
_Tho_. Tis Mr. _Engine_ recovered from his dead sleepe. [_Exit_.
_Un_. D'ee heare, Captaine, for all this I have a great mind to a wench,
and a wench I must have if there be one above ground. Oh _London,
London_, thou art full of frank tenements, give me _London_. Shall we
wheele about yet?
_Cap_. Give you _London_? Wo'nott _Cheapeside_ serve your turne, or the
_Exchange_?
_Enter Thomas_.
_Tho_. Oh, gentlemen, Mr. _Engine_ is surely bewitch'd.
_Cap_. What, what's the matter? bring the witch and Mr. _Engine_
before us.
_Tho_. He does vomit the strangest things yonder.
_Cap_. Did not I say, murder will out?
_Tho_. I thinke he has eaten and drunke nothing but Monopolies, and too
hard to be digested they come up againe.
_Within Eng_. Oh!
_Tho_. Harke, I must hold his head. [_Exit_.
_Cap_. Did not I tell you something would come out?
_Tho_. Pins, pins, they lay across his throat. I told you he was

_Un_. Whats that?
_Tho_. Tis something clammy,--now,--oh, tis sope!
_Cap_. Sope? give a man leave to wash his mouth.
_Un_. Does not the lyme burne his throat, _Thomas_?
_Tho_. Alas, poore gentleman, something now agen is ready to strangle
him; out with em,--hides, hides,--it was the hornes stuck in his gullett.
_Within_. Oh--
_Tho_. Well straind; what a foule stomack he has! open your mouth,
Mr. _Engine_.
_Cap_. Throw downe a pottlepot.
_Tho_. I have, sir, and it has come up full of medium wine; if you have
any charity come and helpe me to hold his head; now agen!
_Within_. Oh, oh, oh!
_Un_. This is very strange, Captaine; the man is certainely enchanted.
_Tho_. Master, master, tis _Shrovetuesday_[267] and the prentices are
pulling downe _Covent Garden_; the Brickes come as whole out as if he
had swallowed Cherristones. Hey! will you take Tobacco in the Roll? here
is a whole shiplading of _Bermudas_ and one little twopenny paper of
berrinas, with a superscription 'To my very loving friends the
Custome-house.'
_Cap_. Put up that for a relique, _Thomas_, and open it upon high dayes
to clear the sore eyes of our _Spanish_
