_ Here they stand ready Sir.
_Zab._ 'Tis well, be sure
The wines be lusty, high, and full of Spirit,
And Amber'd all.
_Ser._ They are.
_Zab._ Give fair attendance.
In the best trim, and state, make ready all.
I shall come presently again. [_Banquet set forth. Exit._
_2 Ser._ We shall Sir,
What preparation's this?
Some new device
My Lady has in hand.
_1 Ser._ O, prosper it
As long as it carries good wine in the mouth,
And good meat with it, where are all the rest?
_2 Ser._ They are ready to attend. [_Musick._
_1 Ser._ Sure some great person,
They would not make this hurry else.
_2 Ser._ Hark the Musick.
_Enter_ Zabulon, _and_ Arnoldo.
It will appear now certain, here it comes.
Now to our places.
_Arn._ Whither will he lead me?
What invitation's this? to what new end
Are these fair preparations? a rich Banquet,
Musick, and every place stuck with adornment,
Fit for a Princes welcome; what new game
Has Fortune now prepar'd to shew me happy?
And then again to sink me? 'tis no illusion,
Mine eyes are not deceiv'd, all these are reall;
What wealth and state!
_Zab._ Will you sit down and eat Sir?
These carry little wonder, they are usual;
But you shall see, if you be wise to observe it,
That that will strike dead, strike with amazement,
Then if you be a man: this fair health to you.
