Part 29

Kit. Sir, thus they go from me; kiss me, sweetheart.

See what a drove of horns fly in the air, Wing'd with my cleansed and my credulous breath!

Watch' em suspicious eyes, watch where they fall.

See, see! on heads that think they have none at all!

O, what a plenteous world of this will come!

When air rains horns, all may be sure of some!

I have learn'd so much verse out of a jealous man's part in a play.

Clem. 'Tis well, 'tis well! This night we'll dedicate to friendship, love, and laughter. Master bridegroom, take your bride and lead; every one a fellow. Here is my mistress, Brainworm! to whom all my addresses of courtship shall have their reference: whose adventures this day, when our grandchildren shall hear to be made a fable, I doubt not but it shall find both spectators and applause.

[Exeunt.
