o shake a wall
withal. Here comes the very person of him, do as you shall find
your temper, I must leave you: but if you do not break him like a
Bisket, you are much to blame Sir.
[_Exit_ Mar.
_Enter_ Bessus _And the Sword men_.
_Lyg_.
Is your name _Bessus_?
_Bes_.
Men call me Captain Bessus.
_Lyg_.
Then Ca[p]tain _Bessus_, you are a rank rascall, without more
exordiums, a durty frozen slave; and with the favor of your
friends here I will beat you.
_2 Sword_.
Pray use your pleasure Sir,
You seem to be a Gentleman.
_Lyg_.
Thus Captain _Bessus_, thus; thus twing your nose, thus kick,
thus tread you.
_Bes_.
I do beseech you yield your cause Sir quickly.
_Lyg_.
Indeed I should have told that first.
_Bes_.
I take it so.
_1 Sword_.

_Lyg_.
Sir, you shall have it quickly, and more beating,

_Bes_.

brains out, wash'em, and put 'em in again, that will I.
_Bes_.
There was a Lady Sir, I must confess, once in my charge: the
Prince Tigranes gave her to my guard for her safety, how I us'd
her, she may her self report, she's with the Prince now: I did
but wait upon her like a groom, which she will testife I am sure:
if not, my brains are at your service when you please Sir, and
glad I have 'em for you.
_Lyg_.
This is most likely, Sir, I ask you pardon, and am sorry I was so
intemperate.
_Bes_.
Well I can ask no more, you will think it strange not to have me
beat you at first sight.
_Lyg_.
Indeed I would, but I know your goodness can forget twenty
beatings, you must forgive me.
_Bes_.
Yes there's my hand, go where you will, I shall think you a
valiant fellow for all this.
_Lyg_.
My da[u]ghter is a Whore, I feel it now too sensible; yet I will
see her, discharge my self from being father to her, and then
