Jack. Who knocks?

Ser. A Christian: pray, is not this master Tailby’s lodging? I was directed hither.

Jack. Yes, this is my master’s lodging.

Ser. Cry you mercy, sir: is he yet stirring?

Jack. He’s awake, but not yet stirring, for he played away half his clothes last night.

Ser. My mistress commends her secrets unto him, and presents him by me with a new satin suit here.

Jack. Mass, that comes happily.

Ser. And she hopes the fashion will content him.

Jack. There’s no doubt to be had of that, sir: your mistress’ name, I pray? you’re much preciously welcome.

280Ser. I thank you uncommonly, sir.

Jack. The suit shall be accepted, I warrant you, sir.

Ser. That’s all my mistress desires, sir.

Jack. Fare you well, sir.

Ser. Fare you well, sir. [Exit.

Jack. This will make my master leap out of the bed for joy, and dance Wigmore’s galliard^[622] in his shirt about the chamber!^[623] [Exit into the house.
