herself_.
Ye looked about you ill, fox; we have caught ye;
I met ye at Blackheath, and ye were hot.
FAU. I knew thee, Moll; now, by my sword, I knew thee.
I wink'd at all; I laughed at every jest.
ROB. Aye, he did wink; the blind man had an eye.[528]
FAU. Peace, Robin, thou't once be a man as I.
LADY F. Well, I must bear it all.
FAU. Come, and ye bear,
It's but your office; come, forget, sweet Moll.
LADY. F. I do forgive it, and forget it, sir.
FAU. Why, that's well said; that's done like a good girl.
Ha, sirrah, ha, you match'd me, pretty earl.
ROB. I have, ye see, sir; I must unto Blackheath
In quest of Richard, whom I sent to seek
Earl Gloster out. I know he's at the hermit's.
Lend me your coach; I'll shift me, as I ride;
Farewell, Sir Richard.
[_Exit_.
FAU. Farewell, England's pride.
By the matins, Moll, it is a pretty child;
Shall we go meet John? shall we go mock the prince?
LADY F. We will.
FAU. O, then we shall have sport anon.
Never wear yellow, Moll; 'twas but a trick;
Old Fauconbridge will still be a mad Dick.
[_Exeunt_.
SCENE THE TWENTY-NINTH.
_Enter_ REDCAP _and_ GLOSTER.
RED. Do ye s-s-say, fa-fa-father hermit, th-that Gl-Gloster is about
this heath?
GLO. He is upon this heath, son; look about it.
Run but the compass, thou shalt find him out.
RED. R-r-run? I'll r-run the co-compass of all K-Kent but I'll f-find
him out; my f-f-father (where'er he lays his head) dare ne-never come
home, I know, t-t-till he be fo-fo-found.
GLO. Well, thou shalt find him. Know'st thou who's a-hunting?
RED. M-m-marry, 'tis the Earls of La-La-Lancaster and Le-Leicester,
Fa-fa-farewell, f-father; and I find Skink or Glo-Gloster, I'll
g-g-give thee the pr-price of a penny p-p-pudding for thy p-pains.
[_Exit_.
GLO. Adieu, good friend: this is sure the fellow
I sent on message from the Parl'ament--
The porter's son--he's still in quest of me,
And Skink, that cosen'd him of his red cap!
_Enter_ RICHARD, _like a Serving-man_.
But look about thee, Gloster; who comes yonder?
O, a plain serving-man, and yet perhaps
His bags are lin'd,
And my purse now grows thin:
If he have any, I must share with him.
_Enter_ SKINK, _like a Hermit_.
And who's on yond side? O, it is my hermit;
Hath got his other suit, since I went forth.
SKINK. Sblood, yo
