we came Sir,
An hour of freedome's worth an age of juglings.
_Die_.
I am come too Sir, to specifie my Stomach
A poor reteiner to your worships bountie.
_Bar_.
And thou shalt have it fill'd my merry _Diego_,
My liberal, and my bonny bounteous _Diego_,
Even fill'd till it groan again.
_Die_.
Let it have fair play,
And if it founder then.--
_Bar_.
I'le tell ye neighbours,
Though I were angry yesterday with ye all,
And very angry, for methought ye bob'd me.
_Lop_.
No, no, by no means.
_Bar_.
No, when I considered
It was a jest, and carried off so quaintly,
It made me merry: very merry, Gentlemen,

But I know ye all for merry waggs, and ere long
You shall know me too in another fashion,
Though y'are pamper'd, ye shall bear part o'th' burthen.
_Enter_ Amaranta, _and_ Leandro.
Come wife; Come bid 'em welcom; Come my Jewel:
And Pupil, you shall come too; ne're hang backward,
Come, come the woman's pleas'd, her anger's over,
Come, be not bashfull.
_Am_.
What do's he prepare here?
Sure there's no meat i'th' house, at least not drest,
Do's he mean to mock 'em? or some new bred crotchet
Come o're his brains; I do not like his kindness:
But silence best becomes me: if he mean foul play,
Sure they are enough to right themselves, and let 'em,
I'le sit by, so they beat him not to powder.
_Bar_.
Bring in the meat there, ha? Sit down dear neighbour,
A little meat needs little Complement,
Sit down I say.
_Am_.
What do you mean by this Sir?
_Bar_.
Convey away their weapons handsomely.
_Am_.
You know there's none i'th' house to answer ye,
But the poor Girle; you know there's no meat neither.
_Bar_.
Peace and be quiet; I shall make you smoak else,
There's men and meat enough, s
