How lik'st thou this Ambiguity? is not his Style changed since? Yes methinks; before he spoke in Verse, now he scans not his words. Oh thou shalt hear him talk out of all measure. I will now go walk into the Garden of the Muses, and gather the choicest flowers that grow about Helicon, to make a Garland for thy temples. I'll make the skilful Rhetoricians to empty all their shops of the freshest colours to paint thy cheeks withal. Then the Grammarians I'll cause to shape fit and well-fashioned garments for thee of the purest Silk that ever was framed of true-woven words: Come go with me, come go with me. NOw what strange passion hath befallen my father I I wonder that he did so fawn upon Unworthy Fallacy; yet that may be Proceeded from a Father's tender love. But he looked ghastly, and his colour changed, And seemed to grow forgetful what he did; I pray this humour hold not. How now Brother? Met you your Father? Not I; is he gone? He bid me call up young Lord Intellect. Marry beshrew you, I could wish you had let me alone; you awaked me out of a most sweet sleep. What is the matter? Nay I swear I know not; But I do fear all is not well with him. Not well, and stand we talking? I protest I am amazed. Come let us seek him out. Young Lord you were best to stay; they go to seek one whom they know not where to find. Now I hope to make my Master dote as much on me, as his mad father doth on him, if I can convey away this purchase. But when will Lord Discourse come? I desire to learn somewhat this morning. My young Lord, if you will go with me, I will lead you to such a Library, as all Hermenia yields not the like again. But are there any Books for my use? Of all sorts. Any Logic or Philosophy? The best Logic, Rhetoric, & Philosophy that can be. Whose I prithee? Why you shall find there Piscators Logic, Butler's Rhetoric. Indeed, Faecundi calices quem non fecere disertum? O sir, the only Rhetoric in price; You shall have too Magirus Physics. What kitchen-physic? baker's Arithmetic. That will teach me to tell thirteen to the dozen: what, you think I will prove Helluo librorum? Well, I will go with you for once. And stay with me I hope, longer than you are willing But is it certain which Report affirms? Young Topicus and Demonstration, So shortly shall be married? Speak Iudicium, What do you hear? I am for truth assured ere night their Nuptials will be finished: This Morning from Verona come the Ladies, Whose presence only is attended here. And now the love, Invention, which you bear To Topicus, may best conceive my joy, For Demonstrations equal happiness.
