FITZ-DOTTRELL. Mi? tre? ? e FITZ-DOTTREL. PVG.

How now, ? weet heart? what's the matter?

M^rs. FI. Good!
You are a ? tranger to the plot! you ? et not
Your fancy _Diuell_, here, to tempt your wife,
With all the in? olent vnciuill language,
Or action, he could vent?

FIT. Did you so, _Diuell_? 5

M^rs. FIT. Not you? you were not planted i' your hole to heare him,
Vpo' the ? tayres? or here, behinde the hangings?
I doe not know your qualities? he dur? t doe it,
And you not giue directions?

FIT. You shall ? ee, wife,
Whether he dur? t, or no: and what it was, 10
I did direct.

_Her hu? band goes out, and enters presently with a
cudgell vpon him. _

PVG. Sweet Mi? tre? ? e, are you mad?

FIT. You mo? t mere Rogue! you open manife? t Villaine!
You Feind apparant you! you declar'd Hel-hound!

PVG. Good S^r.

FIT. Good Knaue, good Ra? cal, and good Traitor.
Now, I doe finde you parcel-_Diuell_, indeed. 15
Vpo' the point of tru? t? I' your fir? t charge?
The very day o' your probation?
To tempt your Mi? tre? ? e? You doe ? ee, good wedlocke,
How I directed him.

M^rs. FIT. Why, where S^r? were you? [119]

FIT. Nay, there is one blow more, for exerci? e: 20
_After a pause. He ? trikes him againe_
I told you, I ? hould doe it.

PVG. Would you had done, Sir.

FIT. O wife, the rare? t man! yet there's another
To put you in mind o' the la? t, ? uch a braue man, wife!
Within, he has his proiects, and do's vent 'hem,
_and againe. _
The gallante? t! where you _tentiginous_? ha? 25
Would you be acting of the _Incubus_?
Did her ? ilks ru? tling moue you?

PVG. Gentle Sir.

FIT. Out of my ? ight. If thy name were not _Diuell_,
Thou ? hould? t not ? tay a minute with me. In,
Goe, yet ? tay: yet goe too. I am re? olu'd. 30
What I will doe: and you ? hall know't afore-hand.
Soone as the Gentleman is gone, doe you heare?
I'll helpe your li? ping. Wife, ? uch a man, wife!
Diuell _goes out_.
He has ? uch plots! He will make mee a _Duke_!
No le? ? e, by heauen! ? ix Mares, to your coach, wife! 35
That's your proportion! And your coach-man bald!
Becau? e he ? hall be bare, inough. Doe not you laugh,
We are looking for a place, and all, i' the map
What to be of. Haue faith, be not an Infidell.
You know, I am not ea? ie to be gull'd. 40
I ? weare, when I haue my _millions_, el? e. I'll make
Another _Dutche? ? e_: if you ha' not faith.

M^rs. FI. You'll ha' too much, I feare, in the? e fal? e ? pirits.

FIT. Spirits? O, no such thing! wife! wit, mere wit!
This man defies the _Diuell_, and all his works! 45
He dos't by _Ingine_, and deui? es, hee!
He has his winged ploughes, that goe with ? ailes,
Will plough you forty acres, at once! and mills.
Will ? pout you water, ten miles off! All _Crowland_
Is ours, wife; and the fens, from vs, in _Norfolke_, 50
To the vtmo? t bound of _Lincoln-? hire_! we haue view'd it,
And mea? ur'd it within all; by the ? cale!
The riche? t tract of land, Loue, i' the kingdome!
There will be made ? euenteene, or eighteene _millions_;
Or more, as't may be handled! wherefore, thinke, 55
Sweet heart, if th' ha?
t a fancy to one place,
More then another, to be _Dutche? ? e_ of;
Now, name it: I will ha't what ere it co? t,
(If't will be had for money) either here, 59
Or'n _France_, or _Italy_.

M^rs. FI. You ha' ? trange phanta? ies!

INGINE.

Where are you, Sir?

FIT. I ? ee thou ha? t no _talent_ [120]
This way, wife. Vp to thy gallery; doe, _Chuck_,
Leaue vs to talke of it, who vnder? tand it.

MER. I thinke we ha' found a place to fit you, now, Sir.
_Gloc'? ter_.

FIT. O, no, I'll none!

MER. Why, S^r?

FIT. Tis fatall. 5

MER. That you ? ay right in. _Spen? er_, I thinke, the younger,
Had his la? t honour thence. But, he was but _Earle_.

FIT. I know not that, Sir. But _Thomas_ of _Wood? tocke_,
I'm ? ure, was _Duke_, and he was made away,
At _Calice_; as _Duke Humphrey_ was at _Bury_: 10
And _Richard_ the third, you know what end he came too.

MER. By m'faith you are cunning i' the _Chronicle_, Sir.

FIT. No, I confe? ? e I ha't from the _Play-bookes_,
And thinke they'are more _authentique_.

ING. That's ? ure, Sir.

MER. What ? ay you (to this then)

_He whi? pers him of a place. _

FIT. No, a noble hou? e. 15
Pretends to that. I will doe no man wrong.

MER. Then take one propo? ition more, and heare it
As pa? t exception.

FIT. What's that?

MER. To be
_Duke_ of tho? e lands, you ? hall recouer; take
Your title, thence, Sir, _Duke_ of the _Drown'd lands_, 20
Or _Drown'd-land_.

FIT. Ha? that la? t has a good ? ound!
I like it well. The _Duke_ of _Drown'd-land_?

ING. Yes;
It goes like _Groen-land_, Sir, if you marke it.

MER. I,
And drawing thus your honour from the worke,
You make the reputation of that, greater; 25
And ? tay't the longer i' your name.

FIT. 'Tis true.
_Drown'd-lands_ will liue in _Drown'd-land_!

MER. Yes, when you
Ha' no foote left; as that mu? t be, Sir, one day.
And, though it tarry in your heyres, some _forty_,
_Fifty_ de? cents, the longer liuer, at la? t, yet, 30
Mu? t thru? t 'hem out on't: if no quirk in law,
Or odde _Vice_ o' their owne not do'it fir? t.
Wee ? ee tho? e changes, daily: the faire lands,
That were the _Clyents_, are the _Lawyers_, now:
And tho? e rich Mannors, there, of good man _Taylors_, 35

By which th' were mea? ur'd out for the la? t purcha? e. [121]
Nature hath the? e vici? ? itudes. Shee makes
No man a ? tate of perpetuety, Sir.

Svre hee will geld mee, if I stay: or wor? e,
