e's finger. Thou hast made a good night of
this: what hast won, Frank?

ILF. A matter of nothing, some hundred pounds.

SCAR. This is the hell of all gamesters. I think, when they are at play,
the board eats up the money; for if there be five hundred pound lost,
there's never but a hundred pounds won. Boy, take the wall of any man:
and yet by light such deeds of darkness may not be.

[_Put out the torch_.

WEN. What dost mean by that, Will?

SCAR. To save charge, and walk like a fury with a firebrand in my hand:
every one goes by the light, and we'll go by the smoke.

_Enter_ LORD FALCONBRIDGE.

SCAR. Boy, keep the wall: I will not budge[397] for any man, by these
thumbs; and the paring of the nails shall stick in thy teeth. Not for a
world.

LORD. Who's this? young Scarborow?

SCAR. The man that the mare rid on.

LORD. Is this the reverence that you owe to me.

SCAR. You should have brought me up better.

LORD. That vice should thus transform man to a beast!

SCAR. Go to, your name's lord; I'll talk with you, when you're out of

sack; do you hear? you put a piece of turned stuff upon me, but I
will--

LORD. What will you do, sir?

SCAR. Piss in thy way, and that's no slander.

LORD. Your sober blood will teach you otherwise.

_Enter_ SIR WILLIAM SCARBOROW.

SIR WIL. My honoured lord, you're happily well-met.

LORD. Ill met to see your nephew in this case,
More like a brute beast than a gentleman.

SIR WIL. Fie, nephew! shame you not thus to transform yourself?

SCAR. Can your nose smell a torch?

ILF. Be not so wild; it is thine uncle Scarborow.

SCAR. Why then 'tis the more likely 'tis my father's brother.

SIR WIL. Shame to our name to make thyself a beast,
Thy body worthy born, and thy youth's breast
Till'd in due time for better discipline.

LORD. Thyself new-married to a noble house,
Rich in possessions and posterity,
Which should call home thy unstay'd affections.

SIR WIL. Where thou mak'st havoc.

LORD. Riot, spoil, and waste.

SIR WIL. Of what thy father left.

LORD. And livest disgraced.

SCAR. I'll send you shorter to heaven than you came to the earth. Do you
catechise? do you catechise? [_He draws, and strikes at them_.

ILF. Hold, hold! do you draw upon your uncle?

SCAR. Pox of t
