Enter E. KNOWELL, WELLBRED, STEPHEN, and BRAINWORM,

disguised as before.

E. Know. Well, Brainworm, perform this business happily, and thou

makest a purchase of my love for ever.

Wel. I'faith, now let thy spirits use their best faculties: but, at

any hand, remember the message to my brother; for there's no other

means to start him.

Brai. I warrant you, sir; fear nothing; I have a nimble soul has

waked all forces of my phant'sie by this time, and put them in true

motion. What you have possest me withal, I'll discharge it amply,

sir; make it no question.

[Exit.

Wel. Forth, and prosper, Brainworm. Faith, Ned, how dost thou

approve of my abilities in this device?

E. Know. Troth, well, howsoever; but it will come excellent if it

take.

Wel. Take, man! why it cannot choose but take, if the circumstances

miscarry not: but, tell me ingenuously, dost thou affect my sister

Bridget as thou pretend'st?

E. Know. Friend, am I worth belief?

Wel. Come, do not protest. In faith, she is a maid of good

ornament, and much modesty; and, except I conceived very worthily

of her, thou should'st not have her.

E. Know. Nay, that I am afraid, will be a question yet, whether I

shall have her, or no.

Wel. 'Slid, thou shalt have her; by this light thou shalt.

E. Know. Nay, do not swear.

Wel. By this hand thou shalt have her; I'll go fetch her presently.

'Point but where to meet, and as I am an honest man I'll bring her.

E. Know. Hold, hold, be temperate.

Wel. Why, by—what shall I swear by? thou shalt have her, as I am—

E. Know. Praythee, be at peace, I am satisfied; and do believe thou

wilt omit no offered occasion to make my desires complete.

Wel. Thou shalt see, and know, I will not.

[Exeunt.
