you out? _Elder Lo_. Yes, that, that shall correct your boys tongue. Dare you fight, I will stay here still. [_They draw._ _Abig_. O their things are out, help, help for Gods sake, Madam; Jesus they foin at one another. _Enter_ Lady. Madam, why, who is within there? _Lady_. Who breeds this rudeness? _Wel._ This uncivil fellow; He saies he comes from Sea, where I believe, H'as purg'd away his manners. _Lady._ Why what of him? _Wel._ Why he will rudely without once God bless you, Press to your privacies, and no denial Must stand betwixt your person and his business; I let go his ill Language. _Lady._ Sir, have you business with me? _Elder Lo._ Madam some I have, But not so serious to pawn my life for't: If you keep this quarter, and maintain about you Such Knights o'th' _Sun_ as this is, to defie Men of imployment to ye, you may live, But in what fame? _Lady._ Pray stay Sir, who has wrong'd you? _Elder Lo._ Wrong me he cannot, though uncivilly He flung his wild words at me: but to you I think he did no honour, to deny The hast I come withal, a passage to you, Though I seem course. _Lady._ Excuse me gentle Sir, 'twas from my knowledge, And shall have no protection.
