Pretty Polly: (shakes Dancing Bear who yawns and snorts)
The better to get the beast in you riled.
Blind Man:
Her voice is as rough as the tongue of a bear.
Tom Fool:
The better to lick away all of your care.
Blind Man: (touches Bear)
Lord save us! She’s got a great hairy twat.
Pretty Polly:
The better to hug you and swallow you up.
Tom Fool:
Jump her now! Give her a shove!
Blind Man:
I die the little death of love!
Blind Man leaps to embrace Dancing Bear, who throws back her head and roars. The man shrieks. They roll on the stage. The audience convulses with screaming laughter. Blind Man runs.
