Dirtier than 5 Week Old Laundry

"Yonder's another vessel; I'll board her.
If she be lawful prize, down goes her topsail."
Act 1.1.91-92

This as well as many other sexual references kept me laughing through the entire scene. I'm guessing Rowley is perverted in some way, although it was very entertaining. Unfortunately, it makes me wonder if Middleton can live up to Rowley's sex-crazed mind. Tons of imagery and slipped in phrases point to an underlying sexual tone so far, but I am left thinking if Middleton will ruin this entirely inappropriate undertone.
