I cannot do't without counters. Let me see; what am |
I to buy for our sheep-shearing feast? Three pound |
of sugar, five pound of currants, rice,--what will |
this sister of mine do with rice? But my father |
hath made her mistress of the feast, and she lays it |
on. She hath made me four and twenty nose-gays for |
the shearers, three-man-song-men all, and very good |
ones; but they are most of them means and bases; but |
one puritan amongst them, and he sings psalms to |
horn-pipes. I must have saffron to colour the warden |
pies; mace; dates?--none, that's out of my note; |
nutmegs, seven; a race or two of ginger, but that I |
may beg; four pound of prunes, and as many of |
raisins o' the sun. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
O that ever I was born! |
Clown: |
I' the name of me-- |
AUTOLYCUS: |
O, help me, help me! pluck but off these rags; and |
then, death, death! |
Clown: |
Alack, poor soul! thou hast need of more rags to lay |
on thee, rather than have these off. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
O sir, the loathsomeness of them offends me more |
than the stripes I have received, which are mighty |
ones and millions. |
Clown: |
Alas, poor man! a million of beating may come to a |
great matter. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
I am robbed, sir, and beaten; my money and apparel |
ta'en from me, and these detestable things put upon |
me. |
Clown: |
What, by a horseman, or a footman? |
AUTOLYCUS: |
A footman, sweet sir, a footman. |
Clown: |
Indeed, he should be a footman by the garments he |
has left with thee: if this be a horseman's coat, |
it hath seen very hot service. Lend me thy hand, |
I'll help thee: come, lend me thy hand. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
O, good sir, tenderly, O! |
Clown: |
Alas, poor soul! |
AUTOLYCUS: |
O, good sir, softly, good sir! I fear, sir, my |
shoulder-blade is out. |
Clown: |
How now! canst stand? |
AUTOLYCUS: |
Clown: |
Dost lack any money? I have a little money for thee. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
No, good sweet sir; no, I beseech you, sir: I have |
a kinsman not past three quarters of a mile hence, |
unto whom I was going; I shall there have money, or |
any thing I want: offer me no money, I pray you; |
that kills my heart. |
Clown: |
What manner of fellow was he that robbed you? |
AUTOLYCUS: |
A fellow, sir, that I have known to go about with |
troll-my-dames; I knew him once a servant of the |
prince: I cannot tell, good sir, for which of his |
virtues it was, but he was certainly whipped out of the court. |
Clown: |
His vices, you would say; there's no virtue whipped |
out of the court: they cherish it to make it stay |
there; and yet it will no more but abide. |
AUTOLYCUS: |
Vices, I would say, sir. I know this man well: he |
hath been since an ape-bearer; then a |
process-server, a bailiff; then he compassed a |
motion of the Prodigal Son, and married a tinker's |
wife within a mile where my land and living lies; |
