eyed beauties of the time. Mony makes men Eternal. _Poet._ Do what you will, 'tis the noblest course, then you may live without the charge of people, only we four will make a Family, I and an Age that will beget new _Annals_, in which I'le write thy life my son of pleasure, equal with _Nero_ and _Caligula_. _Young Lo._ What men were they Captain? _Capt_. Two roaring Boys of _Rome_, that made all split. _Young Lo_. Come Sir, what dare you give? _Sav_. You will not sell Sir? _Young Lo_. Who told you so Sir? _Sav_. Good Sir have a care. _Young Lo_. Peace, or I'le tack your Tongue up to your Roof. What money? speak. _More_. Six thousand pound Sir. _Capt_. Take it, h'as overbidden by the Sun: bind him to his bargain quickly. _Young Lo_. Come strike me luck with earnest, and draw the writings. _More_. There's a Gods peny for thee. _Sav_. Sir for my old Masters sake let my Farm be excepted, if I become his Tenant I am undone, my Children beggers, and my Wife God knows what: consider me dear Sir. _More_. I'le have all or none. _Young Lo_. All in, all in: dispatch the writings. [_Exit with Com._ _Wid_. Go, thou art a pretty forehanded fellow, would thou wert wiser. _Sav_. Now do I sensibly begin to feel my self a Rascal; would I could teach a School, or beg, or lye well, I am utterly undone; now he that taught thee to deceive and cousen, take thee to his mercy; so be it. [_Exit_ Savil. _More_. Come Widow come, never stand upon a Knight-hood, 'tis a meer paper honour, and not proof enough for a Serjeant. Come, Come, I'le make thee-- _Wid_. To answer in short, 'tis this Sir. No Knight no Widow, if you make me any thing, it must be a Lady, and so I take my leave. _More_. Farewel sweet Widow, and think of it. _Wid_. Sir, I do more than think of it, it makes me dream Sir. [_Ex._ Wid. _More_. She's rich and sober, if this itch were from her: and say I be at the charge to pay the Footmen, and the Trumpets, I and the Horsemen too, and be a Knight, and she refuse me then; then am I hoist into the subsidy, and so by consequence should prove a Coxcomb: I'le have a care of that. Six thousand pound, and then the Land is mine, there's some refreshing yet. [_Exit._ _Actus Tertius. Scena Prima_. _Enter_ Abigal, _and drops her Glove._ _Abigal_. If he but follow me, as all my hopes tell me, he's man enough, up goes my rest, and I know I shall draw him. _
