t is in the proverb; he does triumph in his felicity, admires the party! he has given me the lease of my house too! and I am now going for a silent minister to marry them, and away. TRUE: 'Slight, get one of the silenced ministers, a zealous brother would torment him purely. CUT: Cum privilegio, sir. DAUP: O, by no means, let's do nothing to hinder it now: when it is done and finished, I am for you, for any device of vexation. CUT: And that shall be within this half hour, upon my dexterity, gentlemen. Contrive what you can in the mean time, bonis avibus. [EXIT.] CLER: How the slave doth Latin it!

At this instant he is marshalling of his bull, bear, and horse. DAUP: What be those, in the name of Sphynx? TRUE: Why, sir, he has been a great man at the Bear-garden in his time; and from that subtle sport, has ta'en the witty denomination of his chief carousing cups.
