Well spoke Soldier. I like thy resolution. Fellow, you then Have given the Mill quite over. Over and over, here I utterly renounce it; nor would I stay in it longer, if you would give me your whole estate; nay if I say it, you may take my word Landlord. I pray sir dare you trust your mill with me. I dare, but I am loath, my reasons these. For many months, scarce any one hath lain there But have been strangely frighted in his sleep, Or from his warm bed drawn into the floor, Or clawed and scratched, as thou seest this poor man, So much, that it stood long untenanted, Till he late undertook it, now thine eyes Witness how he hath sped. Give me the keys, i'll stand it all danger. 'Tis a match: deliver them. marry with all my heart, and I am glad, I am so rid of 'em. Now I have gathered Bullies, and filled my belly pretty well, i'll go see some sport. There are gentlemen coursing in the meadow hard by; and 'tis a game that I love better than going to School ten to one. What have we here a brace of Greyhounds broke loose from their masters: it must needs be so, for they have both their collars and slips about their necks. Now I look better upon them, methinks I should know them, and so I do: these are Mr. Robinsons dogs, that dwells some two miles off, i'll take them up, & lead them home to their master; it may be something in my way, for he is as liberal a gentleman, as any is in our country, Come Hector, come. Now if I could but start a Hare by the way, kill her, and carry her home to my supper, I should think I had made a better afternoon's work of it than gathering of bullies. Come poor curs along with me. My Dog as yours. For what? A piece. 'Tis done. I say the pied dog shall outstrip the brown. And i'll take the brown dogs part against the pied Yes when he's at his lap you'll take his part. Bantam forbear him prithee. He talks so like an Ass I have not patience to endure his non sense. The brown dog for two pieces. Of what? Of what you dare; name them from the last Farthings with the double rings, to the late coined pieces which they say are all counterfeit. Well sir, I take you: will you cover these, give them into the hands of either of those two gentlemen. What needs that? do you think my word and my money is not all one? And weigh alike: both many grains too light. Enough of that, I presume Mr. Whetstone, you are not ignorant what belongs to the sport of hunting. I think I have reason, for I have been at the death of more Hares. More than you shed the last fall of the leaf.
