_Dub._ There's no such thriving way to live in grace, As to have no sence of it; his back nor belly Shall not want warming that can practise me mischief; I walk now with a full purse, grow high and wanton, Prune and briske my self in the bright shine Of his good Lordships favours; and for what virtue? For fashioning my self a murderer. O noble _Montague_, to whom I owe my heart, With all my best thoughts, though my tongue have promis'd To exceed the malice of thy destiny, Never in time of all my service knew I Such a sin tempt thy bounty; those that did feed Upon thy charge had merit or else need.
_Enter Laverdine, and La-poope, with disguises._
_La._ This way, immediately; therefore thy assistance, dear _Duboys_.
_Dub._ What have you cheated him of the money you spoke of?
_Lav._ Fough, as easily as a silly Countrey wench of her maydenhead; we had it in a twinkling.
_Dub._ 'Tis well Captain, let me help you, you must be our leader in this action.
_La-p._ Tut, fear not, I'll warrant you if my Sword hold, we'll make no sweating sickness of it.
_Dub._ Why that's well said, but let's retire a little, that we may come on the more bravely; this way, this way. [_Exeunt._
_Enter Montague in the hands of three Officers, and three Creditors._
_1 Cre._ Officers look to him, and be sure you take good security before he part from you.
_Mont._ Why but my friends, you take a strange course with me; the sums I owe you are rather forgetfulness, they are so slight, than want of will or honesty to pay you.
_1 Cred._ I Sir, it may be so; but we must be paid, and we will be paid before you scape: we have wife and children, and a charge, and you are going down the wind, as a man may say; and therefore it behooves us to look to't in time.
_2 Cred._ Your cloak here wou'd satisfie me, mine's not above a three pound matter, besides the arrest.
_3 Cred._ 'Faith and mine is much about that matter too; your Girdle and Hangers, and your Beaver, shall be sufficient bail for't.
_1 Cred._ If you have ever a plain black sute at home, this Silken one, with your Silke-stockings, Garters, and Roses shall pacifie me too; for I take no delight, if I have a sufficient pawn, to cast any Gentleman in prison; therefore 'tis but an untrussing matter: and you are free, we are no unreasonable creatures you see; for mine own part, I protest I am loth to put you to any trouble for security.
