Dream. Madam while you live, Your dreaming Poets are the best, and have Distilled raptures, spirits that converse with 'em, And teach 'em what to write; this I set down Before I eat again, after I walk Upon the strength of Supper into th' park, And ruminate an Elegy at return, I do discourse of Epigrams, and an Epitaph Upon some one or other of my kindred. I ha' made a rare one on my Uncle, and He would die shortly to deserve it. What's that? If you so methodize your study signior I shall but sin against your muse, 'tis now Your hour by course, for your heroic Poem: 'twere best you sleep my Lord, I'll take my leave. Nay Madam, 'tis not every day I study So hard, on some I whet my muse Your Lordship's weapon hangs to much a fore. Thou hast my bosom, treasure up my secrets Faithfully, and deserve I should be thine; Giotto, the first opportunity Commends thee to the Duchess, then's the time, To show thy gratitude, if she still look on me With lucky eyes. My Lord you've made yourself the creditor of what I am; If I return you not the interest Of all my service, I should justly forfeit To be unmade again. Sweet Laura, world confounding beauty. Again Hyperbolising, than you Lordship Must pardon me. What's the signification of this word? hum. I have heard some say, to hyperbolise Is to lie, and it may be she would not have Your Lordship lie with her. signior de patri, what part of your discourse Concerned my death, I heard with Madam Laura You name your uncles dying. 'twas with grief then, I had no cause to name you else my Lord. Apply yourself Nephew to this Gentleman, And make him precious to you. I shall study his honour's service. Giotto. My Lord. You are a Scholar. I have lost time in Padua. I'll tell you a jest a Gentleman i'th' Court Writing a Letter to his Mistress could not Contain himself from hyperbolising with her. Is your Lordship serious? True upon my honour, what a gull 'twas To make himself ridiculous, I laughed at him, Than he asked me what that word meant, Giotto What do you think on't? I my Lord, Your honour needs no comment to inform you, Much less my translation. Yes I know't, but what says your Dictionary. Your Lordship shall pardon me, for that hyperbolising It is some bawdy word, he is so modest, Wherein did I hyperbolise with her Ladyship: My Lord Volterre. signior de Pazzi Comesta. I am transported to see your Lordship well. Io soy il uvestra servadore. What's this? Between Goth and Vandal, Spanish. And Giotto were not here now, I would ask him What were hyperbolising by your Lordship's favour.
