Poet or if you seek a Lover he is yet unmarried and with that I desired her to go to Aderba But in the mean while in comes a strong big Fellow catches hold of her and so carries her away to the wanton imbraces of Comus At last the counterfeit-Poet gathering courage and snatching a Pot out of a fellows hand threw it with great force at Laopyrgus but he shunned the violence thereof by the agility of his body The women also mingled themselves with the men some to lament the blood of their friends with doleful cries and others to fight and to augment the fury and amongst the rest was the old woman who wanted her Nose Nor was she content to shew her fury by her cries but pulling a Pole out of one of the Porters hands did with the same lay about her with more than feminine force and though her thrusts were ineffectual yet by her blows she made many plain-fac'd people like her self As if she had been revenging the loss of her Nose in this Conflict she filled all places where she came with tumult and fear When two of Hyleus his companions had felt the bloody effects of her rage at last up comes two strong fellows and according to the example of her Nose with two blows cut off both her ears While she is howling and crying for her loss in come a Company of huffing Hectors amongst whom was the Souldier who had debauched the Noblemans Wife and did seem to exact from her Adversaries not only her Ears but her Nose also thinking by that attempt to ingratiate himself so in her favour as should move her to bring him once more into the imbraces of his Mistress At last the Tables were overthrown and the Meat thereon trod under foot Some were beat down with Stools some were defending themselves with Spits and all were raging with divers sorts of Weapons Then Comus leaving his Pleasure comes into the middest of this raging Multitude to appease them but their exasperate minds could by no means be induced thereto Their fury increased and did threaten some sudden mischief But the God because he found himself neglected and despised did vanish together with Luxury and Lasciviousness But their fury still continuing they made use of the Torches and Lamps whereby all the Lights were put out Then did Night Darkness and all that black Multitude which stood at the Palace Gate break in and all this Cimmerian darkness did vanish But I awaking out of Darkness Silence and Sleep did find all this to be but a Dream FINIS ERRATA PAge 7.
