Counselled well; And meet some half hour hence. This plunge well past, All things fall even, to Crown my Brain at last. Where shall we dine today? At th' ordinary. I see Sir, you are but a stranger here; This Barnet, is a place of great resort; And commonly upon the Market days, Here all the Country Gentlemen Appoint, A friendly meeting; Some about affairs Of Consequence and Profit; Bargain, Sale, And to confer with Chapmen, some for pleasure, To match their Horses; Wager in their Dogs, Or try their Hawks; Some to no other end, But only meet good Company, discourse, Dine, drink, and spend their Money. That's the Market, we have to make this day. 'Tis a Commodity, that will be easily vented: What my worthy Friend, You are happily encountered; Oh, y'are grown strange, To one that much respects you; troth the House Hath all this time seemed naked without you; The good Old Man doth never sit to meat, But next his giving Thanks, he speaks of you; There's scarce a bit, that he at Table tastes, That can digest without a Geraldine, You are in his mouth so frequent: He and She Both wondering, what distaste from one, or either, So suddenly, should alienate a Guest, To them, so dearly welcome.

Y'are Noble— Who had thought To have met with such good Company; Y'are it seem But new alighted; Father and Son, ere part, I vow we'll drink a cup of Sack together: Physicians say, It doth prepare the appetite And stomach against dinner. we old men, Are apt to take these courtesies. What say you Friend? lie but inquire for one, at the next Inn, And instantly return. 'Tis enough. Bess: How dost thou Gentle? Faith we may do how we list for you, you are grown so Great a stranger: We are more beholding To Master Dalavill, he's a constant Guest: And howsoe'er to some, that shall be nameless, His presence may be graceful; Yet to others— I could say somewhat. he's a noble fellow, And my choice friend. Come come, he is, what he is; and that the end will prove. And how's all at home? Nay, we'll not part without a glass of wine, And meet so seldom: Boy, Drawer Anon, anon Sir.
