_Acut_. Better and better, goodnes never mends so fast in the carrying:
nine!
_Cittie wife_. They say one is your guest, _Philautus_.
_Acut_. And all, I dare sweare, whome ile revive againe.
_Cittie wife_. Well he was a propper man, yfaith.
_Hostis_. I, and had good skill in prick-song, yet he had a fault in his
humor, as none are without (but Puritans,); he would swear like an
Elephant, and stamp and stare, (God blesse us,) like a play-house
book-keeper when the actors misse their entrance.
_Scil_. Nay, harke ye, sir, I can brooke much injurie but not that;

_Scil_. _Occiput_? what meane you by _occiput_?
_Grac_.
