Where be the Ladies? In the next room sir; My Lady Rosamond is sitting for her picture, I presume you will be welcome. An English Painter? Yes sir. Prithee let me see him. This way, Honest gudgeon, How, and the matters abroad, a touch of Thy travel, what news. First, let me understand the state of things At home. We have little alteration since thou went'st, The same news are in fashion, Only gentlemen are fain to ramble, and stumble For their flesh since the breach o'th' bank side. Is my aunt defunct. Yet the Viragoes ha' not lost their spirit, some on 'Em have challenged the field, every day where Gentlemen have met 'em, oh the dog-days bit Shrewdly, 'twas a vilanous dead vacation. Is Paul's alive still? Yes, yes, a little sick o'th' stone, she voids some Every day, but she is now in physic, And may in time recover. The Exchange stands? Longer than a Church, There is no fear while the Merchants have faith; A little of thy travels, for the time is precious, what Things have you seen or done since you left England? I have not leisure to discourse of particulars, but first My Mr. and I have run France through, and through. Through and through, how is that man? Why once forward, and once backward, that's through And through. 'twas but a cowardly part to run a Kingdom Through backward. Not with our horses Solomon, not with our horses. Madam, I did not think your Ladyship Had so little judgement As how signior? As to let an English man draw Your Picture, and such rare Mounsieurs in town. Why not English? Oh by no means Madam, They ha' not active pencils. Think you so. You must encourage strangers while you live, It is the Character of our nation, We are famous for dejecting our own countrymen. Is that a principle. Who teaches you to dance? A Frenchman Signior. Why so, 'tis necessary, Trust while you live the Frenchman with your legs, Your faces with the Dutch, if you mislike Your faces, I mean if it be not sufficiently Painted, let me commend upon my credit A precious workman to your Ladyship. What is he. Not an English man I warrant you, One that can please the Ladies every way, You sha'not sit with him all day for shadows, He has regalias, and can present you with Suckets of fourteen pence a pound, Canary, Prunellas, Venice glasses, parmesan, Sugars, Bologuia, Sausages all from Antwerp; But he will make Ollepodredos most incomparably. I have heard of him by a noble Lady Told me the other day, that sitting for Her picture, she was stifled with a strange Perfume of horns. A Butcher told me of 'em, very likely. When I have need Of this rare Artist I will trouble you For my directions, leaving this discourse, How thrives your Catalogue of debtors Signior.
