2. Serv. Whence are you, sir? Has the porter

his eyes in his head, that he gives entrance to

such companions? Pray, get you out.

Cor. Away!

2. Serv. 'Away!' Get you away.

Cor. Now, th' art troublesome.

2. Serv. Are you so brave? I'll have you talked

with anon.

3. Serv. What fellow's this?

1. Serv. A strange one as ever I looked on: I

cannot get him out o' the house: prithee, call my

master to him.

3. Serv. What have you to do here, fellow?

Pray you, avoid the house.

Cor. Let me but stand; I will not hurt your

hearth.

3. Serv. What are you?

Cor. A gentleman.

3. Serv. A marvellous poor one.

Cor. True, so I am.

3. Serv. Pray you, poor gentleman, take up

some other station; here's no place for you; pray

you, avoid: come.

Cor. Follow your function; go, and batten on

cold bits.

3. Serv. What, you will not? Prithee, tell

my master what a strange guest he has here.

2. Serv. And I shall.

3. Serv. Where dwell'st thou?

 14 companions: rascals

25 avoid: get out of

35 Follow function: do your proper business
