That and the ring, and a hundred pieces,
Will all but make two
hundred?
Ben Jonson - The Devil's Association
145
Your man will take my bond?
MER. That he will, ?ure.
But, the?e ?ame Citizens, they are ?uch ?harks!
There's an old debt of forty, I ga' my word
For one is runne away, to the _Bermudas_,
And he will hooke in that, or he wi' not doe. 150
_He whi?pers_ Fitz-dottrell _a?ide_.
FIT. Why, let him.
That and the ring, and a hundred pieces,
Will all but make two
hundred?
MER. No, no more, Sir.
What ready _Arithmetique_ you haue? doe you heare?
_And then_ Guilt-head.
A pretty mornings worke for you, this? Do it,
You ?hall ha' twenty pound on't.
GVI. Twenty pieces? [135] 155
(PLV. Good Father, do't)
MER. You will hooke ?till? well,
Shew vs your ring.
