And I believe't as a notorious truth. Howsoever I was begot, here you see I am, And if my Parents went to it without fear or wit, What can I help it. Very probable, for as he was got without fear, So it is apparent he was borne without wit. Gentlemen, it seems you have some private business amongst yourselves, which I am not willing to interrupt, I know not how the day goes with you, but for mine own part, my stomach is now much upon 12. You know what hour my Uncle keeps, and I love ever to be set before the first grace, I am going before, speak, shall I acquaint him with your coming after? We mean this day to see what fare he keeps. And you know it is his custom to fare well, And in that respect I think I may be his kinsman, And so farewell Gentlemen, I'll be your forerunner, To give him notice of your visit. And so entire us to you. Sweet Mr. Whetstone. Kind Mr. By-blow. I see you are perfect both in my name & surname; I have been ever bound unto you, for which I will at this time be your Noverint, and give him notice that you Universi will be with him per praesentes, and that I take to be presently. Farewell As in praesenti. It seems he's piece of a Scholar. What because he hath read a little scrivener's Latin, he never proceeded farther in his Accidence than to Mentiri non est meum; and that was such a hard Lesson to learn, that he stuck at mentiri; and could never reach to non est meum: since, a mere Ignaro, and not worth acknowledgement. Are these then the best parts he can boast of? As you see him now, so shall you find him ever: all in one strain, there is one only thing which I wonder he left our. And what might that be: Of the same affinity with the rest. At every second word, he his commonly boasting either of his Aunt or his Uncle. You name him in good time, see where he comes. Gentlemen, Welcome, 'tis a word I use, From me expect no further compliment: Nor do I name it often at one meeting, Once spoke (to those that understand me best, And know I always purpose as I speak) Hath ever yet sufficed: so jet it you; Nor do I love that common phrase of guests, As we make bold, or we are troublesome, we take you unprovided, and the like; I know you understanding Gentlemen, And knowing me, cannot persuade yourselves With me you shall be troublesome or bold, But still provided for my worthy friends, Amongst whom you are lifted. Noble sir, you generously instruct us, and to express We can be your apt scholars: in a word we come to dine with you.
