Act IV Scene 1.

Before Tailby’s lodging

Enter a Servant bringing in a suit of satin, who knocks at Tailby’s door, from which enter Jack.

JACK
Who knocks?

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

JACK
Yes, this is my master’s lodging.

SERVANT
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.

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

JACK
Mass, that comes happily.

SERVANT
And she hopes the fashion will content him.

JACK
There’s no doubt to be had of that, sir: your mistress’s name, pray?

[Servant shows Jack his mistress’s name.]

You’re much preciously welcome.

SERVANT
I thank you uncommonly, sir.

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

SERVANT
That’s all my mistress desires, sir.

JACK
Fare you well, sir.

SERVANT
Fare you well, sir.

Exit.

JACK
This will make my master leap out of the bed for joy, and dance Wigmore’s galliard in his shirt about the chamber!

Exit into the house.
