SCENE XIX.--GORGIBUS, MADELON, CATHOS, AND MUSICIANS.

1 MUS. Sir, as they have not paid us, we expect you to do so, for it was

in this house we played.

GORG. (_Beating them_). Yes, yes, I shall satisfy you; this is the coin

I will pay you in. As for you, you sluts, I do not know why I should not

serve you in the same way; we shall become the common talk and

laughing-stock of everybody; this is what you have brought upon

yourselves by your fooleries. Out of my sight and hide yourselves, you

jades; go and hide yourselves forever. {_Alone_). And you, that are the

cause of their folly, you stupid trash, mischievous amusements for idle

minds, you novels, verses, songs, sonnets, and sonatas, the devil take

you all.
