You know we have serv'd you long enough.
Mem. No Souldier
That ever landed on the blest Elyzium
Did or shall march, as I will.
Chi. Would ye would march, Sir,
Up to the King and get us —
Mem. King nor Keiser
Shall equal me in that world.
Chi. What a Devil ails he?
Mem. Next, the rare beauties of those Towns I fir'd.
Chi. I speak of money, Sir.
Mem. Ten thousand Coaches —
Chi. O pounds, Sir, pounds I beseech your Lordship,
Let Coaches run out of your remembrance.
Mem. In which the wanton Cupids, and the Graces
Drawn with the Western winds kindling desires,
And then our Poets —
Chi. Then our pay.
Mem. For Chilax when the triumph comes; the Princess
Then, for I will have a Heaven made —
Chi. Bless your Lordship!
Stand still, Sir.
Mem. So I do, and in it —
Chi. Death Sir,
You talk you know not what.
Mem. Such rare devices:
Make me I say a Heaven.
Chi. I say so too, Sir.
Mem. For here shall run a Constellation.
Chi. And there a pissing Conduit.
Mem. Ha!
Chi. With wine, Sir.
Mem. A Sun there in his height, there such a Planet.
Chi. But where's our money, where runs that?
Mem. Ha?
Chi. Money,
Money an't like your Lordship.
Mem. Why all the carriage shall come behind, the stuff,
Rich hangings, treasure;
Or say we have none.
Chi. I may say so truly,
For hang me if I have a Groat: I have serv'd well
And like an honest man: I see no reason —
Mem. Thou must needs die good Chilax.
Chi. Very well, Sir.
Mem. I will have honest, valiant souls about me,
I cannot miss thee.
Chi. Dye?
Mem. Yes die, and Pelius,
Eumenes and Polybius: I shall think
Of more within these two hours.
Chi. Dye Sir?
Mem. I, Sir,
And ye shall dye.
Chi. When, I beseech your Lordship?
Mem. To morrow see ye do dye.
C[h]i. A short warning,
Troth, Sir, I am ill prepar'd.
Mem. I dye my self then,
Beside there's reason —
Chi. Oh!
Mem. I pray thee tell me,
For thou art a great Dreamer.
Chi. I can dream, Sir,
If I eat well and sleep well.
Mem. Was it never
By Dream or Apparition open'd to thee —
Chi. He's mad.
Mem. What the other world was, or Elyzium?
Didst never travel in thy sleep?
Chi. To Taverns,
When I was drunk o're night; or to a Wench,
There's an Elyzium for ye, a young Lady
Wrapt round about ye like a Snake: is that it?
Or if that strange Elyzium that you talk of
Be where the Devil is, I have dream't of him,
And that I have had him by the horns, and rid him,
He trots the Dagger out o'th' sheath.
Mem. Elyzium,
The blessed fields man.
Chi. I know no fields blessed, but those I have gain'd by.
I have dream't I have been in Heaven too.
Mem. There, handle that place; that's Elyzium.
Chi. Brave singing, and brave dancing,
And rare things.
Mem. All full of flowers.
Chi. And Pot-herbs.
Mem. Bowers for lovers,
Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
