Why Sir, I hope you do not mean to make us dance, that you call for a Taber. Nay Master Sencer, do not urge the Knight, He is incensed now, choose a fitter hour, And tempt his love in that: old men are testy, Their rage, if stood against, grows violent; But suffered and forborn, confounds itself. Where's Taber? At hand, noble Master. Show them the door. That I will, and take money too, if it please them. Is thy name Taber? I am so ecliped Sir. And Taber, are you appointed to give us Jack Drum's entertainment? Why sir, you do not play upon me. Though I cannot, yet I have known an Hare that could. But Knight, thou dost not forbid us the House. Yes, and forewarn it too. But by thy favour, we may choose whether we will take any warning or no. Well, farewell old Knight, though thou forbidst me thine house, I'll honour thee, and extol thee; and though thou keep'st me from thy Daughter, thou shalt not hinder me to love her, and admire her: and by thy favour, sometimes to see her: A cat may look at a King, and so may I at her. Give me thine hand, Knight, the next time I come into thy company, thou shalt not only bid me welcome, but hire me to stay with thee, and thy daughter. When I do that, enjoy my full consent, To marry Graciana. 'tis a match, strike me luck: Wife that may be, farewell: Father in law that Must be, adieu. Taber, play before, my friend And I will dance after. When I receive thee gladly to mine house, And wage thy stay, thou shalt have Gratiana, Doubt not, thou shalt. Here's a strange Humourist, To come a-wooing. Taber, are they gone? I have played them away, if it please your Worship; and yonder at the door attends a Schoolmaster, you sent for him, if you remember, to teach my little young Master and Mistress. A proper Scholar, pray him to come neare. Eques Honoratus: Ave fulutatus: non video quid est in Tergo, sed salve bona virgo. Sir, you may call me nicknames: if you love me, speak in your Mother-tongue; or at the least, if Learning be so much allied unto you, that Latin unawares flows from your lips: to make your mind familiar with my knowledge, pray utter it in English: what's your name? Sit . I'll tell you my Nomen. Will you tell it to no men. I'll entertain none ere I know their names: Nay, if you be so dainty of your name, You are not for my service. Intende . Not for twenty Nobles: Trust me, I will not buy your name so dear. O Ignorantia! what it is to deal with stupidity? Sir Henry, Sir Henry, hear me one word, I see, preceptor legit, vos vero negligitis.
