and returnes_. _Ri_. Deare hart be patient. _La_. I, you have your homilies of patience, but if you had my paine twould make you wild. Oh! _Ri_. Ile send for the _french_ toothdrawer in the morning. _La_. Oh, there is no rack nor torture like it. What shall I do? I shall never sleepe agen. _Ri_. Which tooth ist? _Do_.--The sweet one you may be sure which troubles her. _La_. This, this, O that there. _Ri_. They are happie that are old and have no teeth. _La_. Oh, take heed, now it shoots up to my head. _Ri_. Thou dost make my head ake with the noise. _La_. If you knew what I suffer your head would ake indeed.

I prethe come to Bed. _Do_. Oh, oh, oh! _Ri_. The musick at a convocation of Catts upon a witches upsetting is the spheres to this Catterwalling. I will thrust my head into the pillow, as _Dametas_[274] did in a bush when the beare was a comeing, and then I shanot heare her. _Do_. Oh, this is a kind of Purgatory for sins of the flesh. If she should fall asleepe with the tother knight it is not possible I should hold out till morning; that which would fright away an Ague would put me into a feare, I shall ha the toothache indeed with counterfeiting; I have knowne some men caught the stammers so; my gums begin to murmure, there is a f
