Jackson, Helen Hunt, 1830-1885

"A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 4"


2. Masse I am indifferent; ile go along with you, if it be so, why so;
if not why so.
[_Exeunt_.

[SCENE IV.]

_Enter three neighbors knocking at Loneys doore: Loney comes_.
1. Hoe, Maister Loney! here you any newes
What is become of your Tennant _Beech_?
_Lon_. No truely, sir, not any newes at all.
2. What, hath the boy recovered any speach,
To give us light of these suggestions
That do arise upon this accident?
_Lon_. There is no hope he should recover speech;
The wives do say he's ready now to leave
This greevous world, full-fraught with treacherie.
3. Methinkes if _Beech_ himselfe be innocent,
That then the murtherer should not dwell farre off;
The hammer that is sticking in his head,
Was borrowed of a Cutler dwelling by,
But he remembers not who borrowed it:
He is committed that did owe[33] the hammer,
But yet he standes uppon his innocence;
And _Beeches_ absence causeth great suspition.
_Lo_. If _Beech_ be faulty, as I do not thinke,
I never was so much deceiv'd before.
Oh had you knowne his conversation,
You would not have him in suspition.
