Hang cases and books that are spoiled with them. Give me Iohnson and Shakespeare; there's learning for a gentleman. I tell thee Sam. were it not for the dancing-school and playhouses, I would not stay at the Inns of Court for the hopes of a chief justiceship. Time would be better spent in reading laws, Teaching our knowledge how to argue doubts: For in our after-states such may arise That without policy's help may ruin it. Formality; a grave youth in a gown. Thou think'st 'tis becoming to walk thus to Tottenham-court, and at home so punctual in conformity. I had rather a French consumption should wear my hair off then a round cap. 'Tis not to make it my profession, (Although in some it be most necessary) (For how can government and laws subsist Without their ministers, whose skill and judgement Distinguish right from wrong) but to be able To manage what's mine own, as time shall send it, You are likely to inherit fair possessions, Gained by a father's industry; perhaps With some contention, and conveyances May be defective: were't not better far yourself could understand it, than to trust The honesty or skill of a bought counsel?

I love his company man, and pay him with nothing but courtesies: a Tottenham-court's kindness is principal, interest and security. What shall we drink? Ale? I love it best; the old English natural drink. But can this gentleman study after Ale? If I avoid the excess. Ale's muddy: what think you of Beer? I love Beer best. The planting of hops was a rare projection in the Dutch; it hath taught some of them English naturally. Shall we hunt today Will? I heard the common cry abroad. Hunting! 'tis sport to make immortal activeness Even in the dullest Earth. A well-mouthed cry Outdoes the Spheres in Music. Gods themselves Have left their fabulous Heaven, to put on The shapes of hunters: courting such delights In these disguises, that hath made them wish Th'exchange of their ethereal government To live with mortals. I love hunting dearly. What saith your friend? Indeed sir, my affection Is better pleased with solitary study: A sober morning's walk, is exercise Enough for me. You are to be commended. Why, Contemplation is the very being Of man's delight: it shows his nobler part Converse with things divine; the nimble soul Climbs by it to a height of happiness. I must confess I love it.
