Elb.

Nay, if there be no remedy for it, but that you will needs buy and sell men and women like beasts, we shall have all the world drink brown and white ^{3 note}bastard.

Duke.

Oh, heav'ns! what stuff is here?

Clown.

^{4 note}'Twas never merry world since of two usuries the merriest was put down, and the worser allow'd by order of law. ***a furr'd gown to keep him warm, and furr'd with fox and lamb-skins too, to signifie, that craft, being richer than innocency, stands for the facing.

Elb.

Come your way, Sir: bless you, good father Friar.

Duke.

And you, good brother father; what offence hath this man made you, Sir?

Elb.

Marry, Sir, he hath offended the law; and, Sir, we take him to be a Thief too, Sir; for we have

found upon him, Sir, a strange pick-lock, which we have sent to the Deputy.

Duke.
Fie, Sirrah, a bawd, a wicked bawd!
The evil that thou causest to be done,
That is thy means to live. Dost thou but think,
What 'tis to cram a maw, or cloath a back,
From such a filthy vice? say to thy self,
From their abominable and beastly touches
I drink, I eat, (a) ^note array my self, and live.
Canst thou believe thy living is a life,
So stinkingly depending! go mend, mend.

Clown.

Indeed, it doth stink in some sort, Sir; but yet, Sir, I would prove—

Duke.
Nay, if the devil have giv'n thee proofs for sin,
Thou wilt prove his. Take him to prison, officer;
Correction and instruction must both work,
Ere this rude beast will profit.

Elb.

He must before the Deputy, Sir; he has given him warning; the Deputy cannot abide a whore-master; if he be a whore-monger, and comes before him, he were as good go a mile on his errand.

Duke.

That we were all, as some would seem to be, Free from all faults, ^{5 note}as faults, from seeming, free!
