Jackson, Helen Hunt, 1830-1885

"A Collection of Old English Plays, Volume 4"


_Acut_. Sirra drawer, for the other thats a sleepe; let him so remaine;
for the Dog, let him be bound to a post for his appearance, till I take
order for his undooing.
_Draw_. The foole and the Dogge shall both take rest at your commaund,
Sir.
_Phy_. Gentlemen, I hope we are all friends: sol, sol, shal's have a
catch?
_Grac_. I, come, come, everie one catch a part. [_Sing_.
_Phy_. Hey good boies ifaith, now a three man's song, or the olde _downe
a downe_; well things must be as they may, fils the other quart;
muskadine,[269] with an egg is fine, there's a time for all things.
_Bonos nocthus_.[270] [_Sleepe_.
_Grac_. Good night to you sirs.
_Accut_. So now, _Graccus_, see what a polluted lumpe,
A deformed _Chaos_ of unsteddy earth
Man is, being in this ill kinde unmand seeming somthing
Bestial man, brutish animall. Well tis thus decreede,
He shall be what he seemes, that's deade.
For what in him shows life but a breathing ayre?
Which by a free constraint it self ingenders
In things without life, as twixt a pair of bellowes
We feele a forcible aire, having of it self
Force and being, no more is this breathing block
But for his use in kinde.
