If you attempt it— {To Lampedo, ^vho is making off) you have cooked up for me? Host. None, as I hope for mercy! Balth. Is not thy wine a poison? Host. No indeed, sir;

'Tis not, I own, of the first quality;

But — Balth. What? Host. I always give short measure, sir.

And ease my conscience that way. Balth. Ease your conscience!

I'll ease your conscience for you. Host. Mercy, sir!

Balth. Rise, if thou canst, and hear nie. Hod. Your commands, sir? Balth. If, in five minutes, all things are prepared

For my departure, you may yet survive. Host. It shall be done in less. Balth. Away, thou lumj^-fish. {Exit hostess.) Lamp. So! now comes my turn! 'tis all over with me!

There's dagger, rope, and ratsbane in his looks! Balth. And now, thou sketch and outline of a man!

Thou thing that hast no shadow in the sun!

Thou eel In a consumption, eldest born

Of Death and Famine! thou anatomy

And, therefore, spare me. Balth. Why wouldst thou have made me

A thoroughfare, for thy whole shop to pass through ? Lamp. Man, you know, must live. Balth. Yes: he must die, too. Lamp. For my patients' sake! Balth. I'll send you to the major part of them —

The window, sir, is open; — come, prepare. Lamp. Pray consider!
