Bard. Why, Sir Iohn, my Face does you no harme

Falst. No, Ile be sworne: I make as good vse of it, as

many a man doth of a Deaths-Head, or a Memento Mori.

I neuer see thy Face, but I thinke vpon Hell fire, and Diues

that liued in Purple; for there he is in his Robes burning,

burning. If thou wert any way giuen to vertue, I would

sweare by thy Face; my Oath should bee, By this Fire:

But thou art altogether giuen ouer; and wert indeede,

but for the Light in thy Face, the Sunne of vtter Darkenesse.

When thou ran'st vp Gads-Hill in the Night, to

catch my Horse, if I did not thinke that thou hadst beene

an Ignis fatuus, or a Ball of Wild-fire, there's no Purchase

in Money. O, thou art a perpetuall Triumph, an euerlasting

Bone-fire-Light: thou hast saued me a thousand

Markes in Linkes and Torches, walking with thee in the

Night betwixt Tauerne and Tauerne: But the Sack that

thou hast drunke me, would haue bought me Lights as

good cheape, as the dearest Chandlers in Europe. I haue

maintain'd that Salamander of yours with fire, any time

this two and thirtie yeeres, Heauen reward me for it
