Look, the elves are come.
To pinch you, if you tell not truth. Advise you.
[THEY PINCH HIM.]
DAP. O! I have a paper with a spur-ryal in't.
FACE. Ti, ti.
They knew't, they say.
SUB. Ti, ti, ti, ti. He has more yet.
FACE. Ti, ti-ti-ti.
[ASIDE TO SUB.]
In the other pocket.
SUB. Titi, titi, titi, titi, titi.
They must pinch him or he will never confess, they say.
[THEY PINCH HIM AGAIN.]
DAP. O, O!
FACE. Nay, pray you, hold: he is her grace's nephew,
Ti, ti, ti? What care you? good faith, you shall care. --
Deal plainly, sir, and shame the fairies. Shew
You are innocent.
DAP. By this good light, I have nothing.
SUB. Ti, ti, ti, ti, to, ta. He does equivocate she says:
Ti, ti do ti, ti ti do, ti da;
and swears by the LIGHT when he is blinded.
DAP. By this good DARK, I have nothing but a half-crown
Of gold about my wrist, that my love gave me;
And a leaden heart I wore since she forsook me.
FACE. I thought 'twas something. And would you incur
Your aunt's displeasure for these trifles? Come,
I had rather you had thrown away twenty half-crowns.
[TAKES IT OFF.]
You may wear your leaden heart still. --
[ENTER DOL HASTILY.]
How now!
SUB. What news, Dol?
DOL. Yonder's your knight, sir Mammon.
FACE. 'Ods lid, we never thought of him till now!
Where is he?
DOL. Here hard by: he is at the door.
SUB. And you are not ready now! Dol, get his suit.
[EXIT DOL.]
He must not be sent back.
FACE. O, by no means.
