Is it possible? did you not fear it, say you? To me the mere relation is anague. Good Aphobus no more such terrible stories; I would not for a world lie alone to night: I shall have such strange dreams! Devils! where good Aphobus? I thought there was some conjuring abroad. 'Tis such a terrible wind! Oh here it is; Now it is here again! Oh still, still, still! Still it follows me! The thing in black, behind; soon as the Sun But shines, it haunts me! Gentle spirit leave me! Cannot you lay him Aphobus? what and ugly looks it has! With eyes as big as saucers, nostrils wider Then Barbers basons! Where is it Aphobus? And should not we fear shadows? Who knows but they come learing after us To steal away the substance? Watch him Aphobus. Now I fear every thing. What are they landed? The enemies. That Colax talks of. Why do you not fear Thunder? Squibs and crackers? I hope there be none here! slid, squibs and crackers! The mere Epitomies of the Gunpowder Treason, Faux in a lesser volume. I'll to some other Country. Is there no way, good Colax, To cross the Sea by Land? Oh the situation! The horrible situation of and Island I dare not; Death to me is terrible: I will not die. Why I will kill my self. I shall never eat Larks again while I breath. I'had rather trouble my Executors by the half. Potguns to me Are Canons; the report will strike me dead. And a bodkin. Is a most dangerous weapon; since I read Of Julius Caesars death, I durst not venture Into a Tailors shop for fear of Bodkins. I will trust thee. Oh good Aphobus. Leave conjuring, or take me into the circle. What shall I do good Colax? How a Lookingglass? Dost think I can endure it? why there lies A man within't in ambush to entrap me. I did but lift my hand up, and he presently Catched at it.
Plot summary
Plot — The Muses' Looking Glass
Bird and Mistress Flowerdew, Puritan residents of Blackfriars, bring their wares to the theatre, but are appalled when Roscius tells them they have been ordered for use as props in a filthy stage play. Roscius argues that they themselves make a living from the vice of vanity, and invites them to see the play before they condemn it; he will give them a running commentary on its moral import. Despite Roscius’ high claims, Comedy and Tragedy seem initially more concerned about the order of their precedence; they agree to spend a year in competition, staging examples of their respective genres, and whichever is adjudged the better will thereafter have the theatre to herself. The play is a series of episodes showing specific virtues to be the mean: an excess or a deficiency constitutes a vice. A lack of courtesy makes Dyscolus churlishly ready to pick quarrels, whereas too much of it makes Colax sycophantic, to such an extent that he hangs around for the rest of the play flattering all the other vices. Aphobus is over-confident and Deilus cowardly, afraid of his own shadow: they have respectively too much fortitude and too little. Temperance is the next example, illustrated by Acolastus the epicure and Anaisthetus the ascetic, followed by liberality, missing in Aneleutherus the miser and carried to excess in Asotus the prodigal. The over-ostentatious Banausus, full of extravagant schemes for public works, overdoes magnificence, whereas Microprepes balks at replacing a church steeple. (The Puritans in the audience 1630 approve.) Chaunus overvalues himself, and seeks inappropriate high offices, whereas Micropsychus thinks himself unsuited to even the meanest position. Meekness is quite absent from quarrelsome Orgylus, who persistently tries to provoke patient Aorgus to a fight, without success. The arrogant Alazon and the modest Eiron deviate from truth: one falsely claims personal qualities he lacks, the other denies those he does have. Philotimia is unduly fastidious about her appearance, whereas her slovenly husband Luparus would rather clothes had never been invented. The impudent bawd Anaiskyntia brings Kataplectus to visit Philotimia, but he is too bashful to speak to her in English. Philotimia appoints him her gentleman usher, and they go off together; it looks as if Luparus is going to be cuckolded, but he doesn’t care. The extremes of justice are next: Nimis is worldly and prone to accept bribes, adjudicating between litigants according to which can…
