Cart. Ha, ha, ha, dost heare him Dicke, he has forgot his leg.

Horse. I, I, he dos not stand much upon that.

Cart. Then I pray remember your courtesse.

Faust. Thanke you sir.

Cart. Tis not so much worth: I pray you tell me one thing.

Faust. What's that?

Cart. Bee both your legs bed-fellowes every night together?

Cart. No truly sir, I would make nothing of you, but I would faine know that.

Faust. Then I assure thee certainly they are. Rh
