SCENE II. The same. Enter Mary in a balcony⁴ ^note. To her below, Sir John Pennydub.

Sir John.

Whew! mistress Moll, mistress Moll.

Mary.

Who's there?

Sir John.

'Tis I.

Mary.

Who? sir John Pennydub? O you're an early cock i'faith. Who would have thought you to be so rare a stirrer?

Sir John.

Pr'ythee, Moll, let me come up.

Mary.

No by my faith, sir John; I'll keep you down; for you knights are very dangerous, if once you get above.

Sir John.

I'll not stay i'faith.

Mary.

I'faith you shall stay; for, sir John, you must note the nature of the climates: your northern wench in her own country may well hold out till she be fifteen; but if she touch the south once, and come up to London, here the chimes go presently after twelve.

Sir John.

O thou'rt a mad wench, Moll: but I pr'ythee make haste, for the priest is gone before.

Mary.

Do you follow him; I'll not be long after.

[Exeunt.
