aw coming: hide, [THEY WITHDRAW] and do not laugh, for God's sake. [RE-ENTER DAW.] DAW: Which is the way into the garden trow? TRUE: O, Jack Daw! I am glad I have met with you. In good faith, I must have this matter go no further between you. I must have it taken up. DAW: What matter, sir? between whom? TRUE: Come, you disguise it: sir Amorous and you. If you love me, Jack, you shall make use of your philosophy now, for this once, and deliver me your sword. This is not the wedding the Centaurs were at, though there be a she one here. [TAKES HIS SWORD.] The bride has entreated me I will see no blood shed at her bridal, you saw her whisper me erewhile. DAW: As I hope to finish Tacitus, I intend no murder. TRUE: Do you not wait for sir Amorous? DAW: Not I, by my knighthood. TRUE: And your scholarship too? DAW: And my scholarship too. TRUE: Go to, then I return you your sword, and ask you mercy; but put it not up, for you will be assaulted. I understood that you had apprehended it, and walked here to brave him: and that you had held your life contemptible, in regard of your honour. DAW: No, no; no such thing, I assure you. He and I parted now, as good friends as could be. TRUE: Trust not you to that visor. I saw him since dinner with another face: I have known many men in my time vex'd with losses, with deaths, and with abuses; but so offended a wight as sir Amorous, did I never see, or read of. For taking away his guests, sir, to-day, that's the cause: and he declares it behind your back with such threatenings and contempts--He said to Dauphine, you were the arrant'st ass-- DAW: Ay, he may say his pleasure. TRUE: And swears you are so protested a coward, that he knows you will never do him any manly or single right, and therefore he will take his course. DAW: I'll give him any satisfaction, sir--but fighting. TRUE: Ay, sir: but who knows what satisfaction he'll take? blood he thirsts for, and blood he will have: and whereabouts on you he will have it, who knows but himself? DAW: I pray you, master Truewit, be you a mediator. TRUE: Well, sir, conceal yourself then in this study till I return. [PUTS HIM INTO THE STUDY.] Nay, you must be content to be lock'd in: for, for mine own reputation, I would not have you seen to receive a public
