y men of law will speak! _Enter_ ANSELM _and_ FULLER. ANS. Good morrow, gentlemen! MRS ART. What? are you there? ANS. Good morrow, mistress, and good morrow, all! JUS. If I may be so bold in a strange place, I say, good morrow, and as much to you. I pray, gentlemen, will you sit down?

AMIN. _Salvete, omnes_! and good day To all at once, as I may say; First, Master Justice; next, Old Arthur, That gives me pension by the quarter; To my good mistress and the rest, That are the founders of this feast; In brief, I speak to _omnes_, all, That to their meat intend to fall.

ART. Gentlemen, welcome all; whilst I deliver Their private welcomes, wife, be it your charge To give this gentlewoman entertainment. MRS ART. Husband, I will. O, this is she usurps The precious interest of my husband's love; Though, as I am a woman, I could well Thrust such a lewd companion out of doors; Yet, as I am a true, obedient, wife, I'd kiss her feet to do my husband's will.

And here shall Mistress Mary sit by me. Y. ART. Pardon me, sir, she shall have my wife's place. MRS ART. Indeed, you shall, for he will have it so. MRS MA. If you will needs; but I shall do you wrong To take your place. O. LUS. Ay, by my faith, you should. MRS ART. That is no wrong, which we impute no wrong! I pray you, sit. Y. ART. Gentlemen all, I pray you, seat yourselves: What, Sir Aminadab, I know where your heart is. [_Aside_. AMIN. Mum, not a word, _pax vobis_, peace: Come, gentles, I'll be of this mess. Y. ART. So, who gives thanks? AMIN. Sir, that will I. Y. ART. I pray you to it by and by. Where's Pipkin? Wait at the board; let Master Season's man Be had into the buttery; but first give him A nap
