He says true: all times ha' been guilty of good fellowship, why not this? I like the Leaguer now so well, I care not if I buy a place of command in it myself. Why now you come to me, That's the Pearl I ha' dived for all this while: I have a catalogue of names, places, and prizes. A cup of entertainment for my friend. Welcome to the new Leaguer. We'll pledge, we'll pledge: Victualled and Wined already? To the Society at the Swan two pottles and a half: Monkey the health; these are my noble & prime visitants; the boxes I gave you to lay up. How now Iulio, gold? By this light, and the most curious. A poor Granam's gift gentlemen: 300 pieces, or such a taste, partly induction to a business, or so. There's a Bordeaux Merchant in Town now, would lay me between wind and water this twelvemonth, but the spite is, I am tied not to part with this gold for ever: if I knew where to borrow but half the worth on't— Half the worth? I'll vow to lend the full worth, If that will pleasure thee. You shall keep the gold under lock and key for your pawn. Thou shalt not want for such a courtesy to do thee good: I'm glad thouart so thriving. Lock up the box, and keep the key; there's the full sum. To a Piece I assure you: you shall see else again. No more, no more trouble: Let me see for how long? Three Months, not a day longer: Nay sooner if money chance to come in afore: I have offices in my Leaguer stand upon Fortune's hill. 'Uds me Signior Stultissimo promised Me a courtesy last night: Assure thee sweet chuck he'll not fail thee. I believe thee without an oath: Make my friend welcome to the Leaguer Monkey: As soon as I have dispatched my voyage To the Canaries, I am for you again Lads. Gentlemen, who can read? Who cannot? I can resolve you: She cannot. What's here? Opprobrious Saint, and most Angelic fiend, Ere I begin, thus do I make an end. I should have been sorry else: Nay silence, or the Proclamation's lost. And if thy heart be not patched up in Marble, Hark how my pen does in thy praises warble. O dear Apollo, how art thou abused, Is there more? Sweet stinging Wasp, and well conceited Dove; For beauty nice, entitled Queen of love Of me; Sir reverence; that does thee adore; Which art esteemed a good one and no more: Let reason rule thy Amazonian fist, Let ladle rude be thrown at hady wist, So shall I love thee, take it for no fable Better than well, and more than I am able. Ass, Ass. The Authors name. Cannot you get her Signior Stultissimo? O, lamentable complaint! As ever poor man heard. Will he take no warning. Is this a Challenge? Fie no, they are too violent to come in rhyme.
