"Fletcher's Works (1 of 10) - the Custom of the Country"


_Rut._ Speak softly Sir, you do not mean to betray me,
I wisht the Gallows, now th'are coming fairly.
_Dua._ Be confident, for as I live, I love you,
And now you shall perceive it: for that service,
Me, and my purse command: there, take it to ye,
'Tis gold, and no small sum, a thousand Duckets,
Supply your want.
_Rut._ But do you do this faithfully?
_Dua._ If I mean ill, spit in my face and kick me:
In what else I may serve you, Sir--
_Rut._ I thank you,
This is as strange to me as Knights adventures.
I have a project, 'tis an honest one,
And now I'le tempt my fortune.
_Dua._ Trust me with it.
_Rut._ You are so good and honest I must trust ye,
'Tis but to carry a letter to a Lady
That sav'd my life once.
_Dua._ That will be most thankful,
I will do't with all care.
_Rut._ Where are you, white-broth?
Now lusty blood,
Come in, and tell your mony:
'Tis ready here, no threats, nor no orations,
Nor prayers now.
_Sulp._ You do not mean to leave me.
_Rut._ I'le live in Hell sooner than here, and cooler.
Come quickly come, dispatch, this air's unwho[l]som:
Quickly good Lady, quickly to't.
_Sulp._ Well, since it must be,
The next I'le fetter faster sure, and closer.
