have me do? TAC. Go to the city, make a case for me; Stuff it with wool, then come again and fetch me. OLF. Ha, ha, ha! Thou'lt be laughed out of case and countenance. TAC. I care not. So it must be, or I cannot stir. OLF. I had best leave troubling him; he's obstinate. Urinal, I leave you, but above all things take heed Jupiter sees you not; for, if he do, he'll ne'er make water in a sieve again; thou'lt serve his turn so fit, to carry his water unto Esculapius. Farewell, Urinal, farewell. [_Exit_ OLFACTUS. TAC. Speak not so loud; the sound's enough to crack me. What, is he gone? I an urinal! ha, ha, ha! I protest I might have had my face washed finely if he had meant to abuse me. I an urinal! ha, ha, ha! Go to, Urinal; you have 'scaped a fair scouring. Well, I'll away, and get me to mine own house; there I'll lock up myself fast, playing the chemic, Augmenting this one crown to troops of angels, With which gold-winged messengers I mean To work great wonders, as to build and purchase; Fare daintily; tie up men's tongues and loose them; Command their lives, their goods, their liberties, And captive all the world with chains of gold.

If I run there, Visus beats me to Scylla; If here, then Gustus blows me to Charybdis. Neptune hath sworn my hope shall suffer shipwreck. What shall I say? mine Urinal's too thin To bide the fury of such storms as these. SCAENA OCTAVA. VISUS _in a garland of bays, mixed with white and red roses, a light-coloured taffeta mantle striped with silver, and fringed upon green silk bases, buskins, &c_. GUSTUS _in the same fashion, differing only in colour_. TACTUS _in a corner of the stage_. VISUS, GUSTUS, TACTUS. VIS. Gustus, good day. GUS. I cannot have a bad, Meeting so fair an omen as yourself. TAC. Shall I? will't prove? ha! well, 'tis best to venture. [TACTUS _puts on the robes_. GUS. Saw you not Tactus? I should s
