_Ger._ Now interpret this unto him.
_Hig._ I pour on thy pate a pot of good ale,
And by the Rogues [oth] a Rogue thee instal:
To beg on the way, to rob all thou meets;
To steal from the hedge, both the shirt and the sheets:
And lye with thy wench in the straw till she twang,
Let the Constable, Justice, and Devil go hang.
_Hig._ You are welcom Brother.
_All._ Welcom, welcom, welcom, but who shall have the keeping
Of this fellow?
_Hub._ Sir, if you dare but trust me;
For if I have kept wild dogs and beasts for wonder,
And made 'em tame too: give into my custody
This roaring Rascal, I shall hamper him,
With all his knacks and knaveries, and I fear me
Discover yet a further villany in him;
O he smells ranck o'th' Rascal.
_Ger._ Take him to thee,
But if he scape--
_Hub._ Let me be ev'n hang'd for him,
Come Sir, I'le tye ye to my leash.
_Hem._ Away Rascal.
_Hub._ Be not so stubborn: I shall swindge ye soundly,
And ye play tricks with me.
_Ger._ So, now come in,
But ever have an eye Sir, to your Prisoner.
_Hub._ He must blind both mine eyes, if he get from me.
