Good Morrow Gentlemen: I have good news for you; your friend is well. Your tidings makes us happy, and gives us a moiety of that content which nothing can do more. I shall rejoice to see him what he was, and Master of that temper he commanded, when he did dare the vaunting Bajazet for taxing his belief. Tomaso, Lodwick. Valentius. I am glad to see you once again yourself. You're welcome to your wits. When time and place shall serve, my wit shall thank you I am ever bound to you sweet Lady. Hark you Lodwick, are not we partly Bawds? Faith in one kind, we have a snatch that way. So I say partly. I must confess, partly. Not remember you, have not that bad opinion, do not think I can be one so false by this kiss. Sibylla. Ay me, my husband. Once again and part. Sibylla. Farewell, Valentius. A thousand take with thee. What, hungry still Vallentius, that you cast such a greedy eye that way? How is't man? what in a trance? And kinder far than fair. What, shall we have a Pamphlet; that he begins to study? do you hear Valentius: here's a friend of yours would speak with you, when you are at leisure. I crave your pardon Gentlemen, as I live she is— What's this to the purpose? You know my price: for the fineness of the silk, the working of the stuff, and the pleasantness of the colour, the whole street shall not afford you a better, I'll assure you 'tis died in grain. The better for him that shall wear it, nothing but what's in grain can please him: let me see, I know not how my money will reach: the Silkman hath emptied my pocket this morning, but you will bate nothing of your price? I protest sir, I cannot, and save by it, and I know you would not wish me to be a loser. By no means, I would have every man to live & thrive by what he professeth, it is mine own case: let me see, I cannot make up the sum, I pray you let one of your men step over to the next lane: I lie there at the Barbers, I'll dispatch him presently. My servants are all busy for the present, you see my shop is full of Customers, and every one striveth who shall be first served. And I am in haste too, for I have sent for my Tailor to meet me at my lodging, and I am loath to disappoint him, because I would have his opinion in the stuff. I pray you, sir, be expeditious, and my man shall be with you by that time you have told out the money. I am much obliged to you as a stranger, I care not if I accept— Dispatch me that Customer quickly, and follow this Gentleman to his lodging: you hear where he lies.
