O by no means, but they cannot be seen Conveniently this morning: another time, At your best leisure, I shall not deny you. Please you walk in, and taste our Beer? I know 'tis but o'th' sixes; and I hate liquour of that complexion: pray commend me To both my sweethearts. Tristram come let's back, And, as my Cosen says, drink lusty sack. There's some deceit in this, perhaps some gallant, Knowing my purpose with Sir Geoffrey Holdfast, Has ta'en his name upon him: i'll dispatch A messenger straight to him: whom have we here? Sir, that's the Alderman my Master. Is this the venerable Man, to whom This goodly Mansion is impropriate: I should negotiate with his reverence About authentic business. This rather Should be sir Geff. son, his words and habit Speak him most learned. I'm the person, pray Let me be bold to crave your name. My appellation or pronomen, as (It is termed by the Latins) is hight Ieremie, But my Cognomen, as the English gather, Is called Holdfast. This is he certainly; are you, I pray Sir Geffrey's son of Epping? The Nominals, the Thomists, all the sects Of old and modern Schoolmen, do oblige me, To pay to that Sir Geoffrey filial duty. I'm glad to hear it, t'other was some varlet, I shall find out and punish: Sir, you're welcome; I guess your business; 'tis about a match, Or with my Niece, or Daughter: which you like, Shall be at your dispose: if not, your business. My business is of procreation, or as The Civil Lawyers learnedly do paraphrase, Is of concomitance, Cohabitation, Or what you please to term it. How am I blessed, that this rare scholar shall Be matched into my family? Within there; Niece, Daughter, both come hither. One at once sir, 'twill satisfy; the Canon does prohibit Us Polygamy. Sir, this is my only daughter, this my niece, Pray know them better. Fair types, nay Orbs of beauty, I salute you, Each in his proper altitude. Heyday, this is some Fortune-teller. 'tis Thorowgood, you must not seem to know him. Daughter and Niece, this is a gentleman, My care has picked out, as a most fit husband For one of you; which he can soonest fancy, Hear him but speak, and he will put you down Ten Universities, and inns of Court, in twenty syllables. Good Mr. Holdfast Speak learnedly to th'wenches; though I say't, They have both good capacities. Most rubicund, stelliferous splendent Ladies, The ocular faculties, by which the beams Of love are darted into every soul, Or humane essence, have into my breast Conveyed this lady's lustre: and I can Admire no other object; therefore beauty Your pardon, if I only do address In terms Scholastic, and in Metaphors My phrase to her. I shall not Envy my cousin's happiness.
