Marry I would after my Master. Thy Master? why is yond raggamuffin able to keep a man? ay that he is able to keep a man, and himself too. Then that man must be able to pay for himself too, or else he may cool his heels without if his appetite be hot. Then shall I not go in? No by my Maidenhead shall you not, nor any such beggarly companion shall enter here, but he shall come thorough me too. No? what remedy? ha, ha; he that rings at a door with such a Bell, and cannot enter? Well, if there be no remedy, I'll even stay without. Oh me! is it you Sir? and are so strong to stand at the door? Pray will you come near? your Master is new gone in afore: Lord, Lord, that you would not enter without trusting! you were even as far out of my remembrance as one that I had never seen afore. I cannot blame you to forget me, for I think this be the first time of our meeting. What would you have Sir? Nothing as they say, but a congratulation for our first acquaintance. I have it here old bully bottom, I have it here. I have it here too: nay, pray sir come in, I am loath to kiss at door, for fear my neighbours should see. Speak, shall you and I condog together? I'll pay you to a hair. Nay, I beseech you sir, come in: a Gentleman, and stand at door? I'll lead the way, and you shall come behind. No, no; I will not salute you after the Italian fashion: I'll enter before. Most lovingly, pray draw the latch sir. Nay faith sweet rogue thou shalt trust me for once. Trust you? come up, canst thou pay the hackney for the hire of a horse, and think'st thou to breathe me upon trust? Thou bid'st me come up, and shall I not ride? Yes the gallows as soon. A Gentleman, and have no money? marry you make a most knightly offer. How? to offer thee no money? How can they offer that have none? I'll either give thee ware or money, that's as good. ay but sir, I'll deal with no such chapmen. What's the matter here? ha? can you not agree about the bargain? Here's Gallants would have us breathed, and forsooth they have no money. They think belike, diet, lodging, ruffs, clothes, and hollandsmocks can all be had without money, and a disease, if we should catch it, Heaven bless us, can be cured without money. That's fine i'faith: if my beds be shaken out of their joints, or my cords broken, must not the joiner and the Rope-maker both have money? if my rags be rubbed out with your toes, can they be repaired without money? if my linen be fouled, can I pay my laundress without money? beside, we must have so something to maintain our broken windows I hope; the Glazier will not mend them without money.
