_ ACT IV - SCENE II

SCENE II. -- ANOTHER ROOM IN THE SAME.

[ENTER FALLACE AND FUNGOSO RUNNING; SHE CLAPS TO THE DOOR.]

FAL.
Help me, brother! Ods body, an you come here I'll do myself a mischief.

DELI.
[WITHIN.]
Nay, hear me, sweet wife; unless thou wilt have me go, I will not go.

FAL.
Tut, you shall never have that vantage of me, to say, you are undone by me. I'll not bid you stay, I. Brother, sweet brother, here's four angels, I'll give you towards your suit: for the love of gentry, and as ever you came of Christian creature, make haste to the water side, (you know where master Fastidious uses to land,) and give him warning of my husband's malicious intent; and tell him of that lean rascal's treachery. O heavens, how my flesh rises at him! Nay, sweet brother, make haste: you may say, I would have writ to him, but that the necessity of the time would not permit. He cannot choose but take it extraordinarily from me: and commend me to him, good brother; say, I sent you.

[EXIT.]

FUNG.
Let me see, these four angels, and then forty shillings more I can borrow on my gown in Fetter Lane. -- Well, I will go presently, say on my suit, pay as much money as I have, and swear myself into credit with my tailor for the rest.

[EXIT.] _
