Yes, my girl: good Formal use thy motion to convey Thy ears a little farther off, there's money To buy thee a new pair of garters: Clare Thou shalt no more behold me in the garb And noble ornament I used to wear, my fashion shall be altered. To the scholars, Young Holdfasts likeness. O by all means girl, thou shalt behold this comely hat transformed To frugal brim, and steeple crown, this band Of fair extent changed to a modern cut, Narrower than a precisian's: all this gay And gaudy silk I will convert to Serge Of limber length: like some spruce student (newly Exalted for saying grace well, to be fellow Oth' College he had studied) I will Salute thy reverent Uncle's spectacles, And without fear of his gold chain, i'll woe thee In metaphors and tropes Scholastic till The doting Senator with a liberal hand give Thee his dainty darling to become my spouse inseparable. This suits well with my directions. True girl true, farewell Clare, I kiss thy white hand: Sir resume your charge, I've done my errand: let not your old Sir Amiar, Know of this conference, if you do, that twist Of spinners thread, on which your life depends Shall be shorn off like a horse mane. Farewell. Man's life indeed is but a thread, good day sir. Attend your charge friend, Valentine, Sir Timothy. You're well encountered, may I inquire the affair Which happily has brought you up toth' City? May I know it? is't not to purchase a Monopoly For Salt and Herrings? for state business, Unless it be to see the great new ship, Or Lincolns Inn fields built: I'm sure you none here. Very right sir. But for thee: my noble man of merit, thou art welcome, we'll be as kind to one another boy, And witty as brisk poets in their wine, we'll court the black browed beauties of the time, And have by them the height of our desires: with ease accomplished Noble Thorowgood, Did I not own you by the name of friend, Already these endearments would engage me to beg that title. Very right, and me too. I know you for the most Egregious knight In all the country. You sir, you've reason, Very right, I am indeed esteemed so. One that live on Onions and Corn-salads. Right again, Sure he can conjure, I had one to my breakfast. Nay no Herald Can better blaze your pedigree. I've heard Your father my most worthy knight, was one That died a knave to leave you so. Passing right still. And pray right witty, and right honoured sir, What may your business seem to be i'th' city. Are you come up to learn new fashions? Exceeding right again. To change this ancient garment to a new one Of a more spruce edition. Yes, but before, For I am privy unto all's intentions, He means to see and court his mistress. Who's that? my doughty Imp of spur and sword, Some fair Dulcina de Toboso.
