Nay, Sir, I have searched the records of the Low-Countries, and find that by your pardon I need not care a pin for Goblins, and therefore I will do't Sir. I did but recoil because I was double charged. No more, here comes a Satire with sharp horns. Sir here's a Frenchman charged with some strange Which to your close ear only he'll deliver, (business Or else to none. A Frenchman? We Mounsire. Cannot he speak the Spanish? Si Signior, ur Poco:— Monsir Acontez in de Corner, me come for offer to your Bon grace mi trezhumbla service, by gar no Iohn fidleco shall put into your near braver Melody dan dis un petite pipe shall play upon to your great bon Grace. What is the tune you'll strike up, touch the string. Dis; me ha' run up and down mane Country, and learn many fine ting, and mush knavery, now more and all dis, me know you ha' jumbla de fine vench and fill her belly wid a garcon, her name is le Madame— Onalia.

Speak low. As de bagpipe when de wind is puff, Gar beigh. Thou namest ten thousand Crowns, I'll treble them Rid me but of this leprosy: thy name? Monsire Doctor Devile. Shall I a second wheel add to this mischief To set it faster going? If one break, Th'other may keep his motion. Eslelent fort boon. Baltazar, To give thy Sword an edge again, this Frenchman Shall whet them on, that if thy pistol fail, Or poniard, this can send the poison home. Brother Cain we'll shake hands. In de bowl of de bloody busher: 'tis very fine wholesome. And more to arm your resolution, I'll tune this Churchman so, that he shall chime In sounds harmonious, Merit to that man Whose hand has but a finger in that act. That music were worth hearing. Holy Father, You must give pardon to me in unlocking A Cave stuffed full with Serpents, which my State Threaten to poison, and it lies in you To break their bed with thunder of your voice. How Princely son? Suppose an universal Hot Pestilence beat her mortiferous wings O re all my kingdom, am not I bound in soul To empty all our academes of Doctors, And Aesculapian spirits to charm this plague? You are. Or had the Canon made a breach Into our rich Escurial, down to beat it About our ears, should I to stop this breach Spare even our richest Ornaments, nay, our Crown, Could it keep bullets off. No Sir, you should not.
