(stage directions). [Enter another Carrier]

house is turned upside down since Robin Ostler died.

First Carrier. Poor fellow, never joyed since the price of oats

London road for fleas: I am stung like a tench.

II,1,661

First Carrier. Like a tench! by the mass, there is ne'er a king
christen could be better bit than I have been since
the first cock.

Second Carrier. Why, they will allow us ne'er a jordan, and then we
leak in your chimney; and your chamber-lie breeds
fleas like a loach.

II,1,665

First Carrier. What, ostler! come away and be hanged!

Second Carrier. I have a gammon of bacon and two razors of ginger,

Second Carrier. Ay, when? can'st tell? Lend me thy lantern, quoth

Gadshill. Sirrah carrier, what time do you mean to come to London?

gentleman: they will along with company, for they
have great charge.
