Your name proclaims To be such as it speaks, you, Generous. Still in that strain! Sir, sir, whilst you persever to be good I must continue grateful. Gentlemen, the greatest part of this day you see is spent In reading deeds, conveyances, and bonds, With sealing and subscribing; will you now Take part of a bad Supper. We are like travellers And where such bait, they do not use to Inn. Our love and service to you. The first I accept, The Last I entertain not, farewell Gentlemen. We'll try if we can find in our way home When Hares come from their coverts, to reliffe, A course or too. Say you so Gentlemen, nay then I am for your company still, 'tis said Hares are like Hermaphrodites, one while Male, and another Female, and that which begets this year, brings young ones the next; which some think to be the reason that witches take their shapes so oft: Nay if I lie Pliny lies too, but come, now I have light upon you, I cannot so lightly leave you farewell Uncle. cousin I wish you would consort yourself, With such men ever, and make them your precedent, For a more genteel carriage. Good Master Generous— Robin. Sir. Go call your Mistress hither. My Mistress Sir, I do call her Mistress, as I do call you Master, but if you would have me call my Mistress to my Master, I may call loud enough before she can hear me. Why she's not deaf I hope, I am sure since Dinner She had her hearing perfect. And so she may have at Supper too for aught I know, but I can assure you she is not now within my call. Sirrah you trifle, give me the Key o'th' Stable, I will go see my Gelding; i' th' mean time Go seek her out, say she shall find me there. To tell you true sir, I shall neither find my Mistress here, nor you your Gelding there. Ha! how comes that to pass? Whilst you were busy about your writings, she came and commanded me to saddle your Beast, and said she would ride abroad to take the air. Which of your fellows did she take along to wait on her? None sir. None! hath she used it often? Oftener I am sure then she goes to Church, and leave out Wednesdays and Fridays. And still alone? If you call that alone, when nobody rides in her company. But what times hath she sorted for these journeys? Commonly when you are abroad, and sometimes when you are full of business at home. To ride out often and alone, what sayth she When she takes horse, and at her back return? Only conjures me that I shall keep it from you, than claps me in the fist with some small piece of silver, and then a Fish cannot be more silent than I.
