I have told the crowns, and here are just so many as you to me did say. Then when thou wilt thou mayest depart, and homewards take thy way, And I pray thee make haste in decking of thy room, that I may find thy lodging fine, when with my friend I come. I'll make speed, and where I have with brooms ofttimes been roaming. I mean henceforth not to be seen, but sit to watch your coming. O how joyful may I be that such success do find, No marvel, for poverty and desire of Lucar do force them follow my mind: Now may I rejoice in full contentation, That shall marry Love with Dissimulation: And have spotted Conscience with all abomination, But I forget myself, for I must to the wedding, Both vauntingly and flauntingly, although I had no bidding. Sir, although you be my master, I would not have you to upbraid my name, But I would have you use the right skill and title of the same: For my name is neither scoggin nor scragging, but ancient Coggin: Sir my ancestors were five of the four worthies, And yourself are of my near kin. Indeed thou sayest true, for Coggin is a kinsman to Dissimulation. But tell me have you taken the names of the guests? Yea sir. Let me hear after what fashion. There is first and foremost master Forgery, and master Flattery Master Perjury, and master Injury: Master Cruelty, and master Pickery, master Bribery, and master Treachery: Master Wink at wrong, and master Headstrong, mistress privy theft, and master deep Deceit, master Abomination, and mistress Fornication his wife, Ferdinando false-weight, and Frissit false-measure his wife. Stay, Fornication & Frissit false-measure are often familiar with my Lady Lucar, and one of them she accounts her friend: Therefore they shall sit with the bride in the midst, and the men at each end: Let me see, there are sixteen, even as many as well near is able: to dine in the summer parlour at the playing table: Beside my fellow Fraud, and you fellow Simony, But I shall have a great miss of my fellow Usury. Take no care for that, he came home yesterday even no longer, His pardon was quickly begged, and that by a courtier. And sirrah, since he came he had like to have slain good neighbourhood and liberality, Had not true friendship stepped between them very suddenly: But sirrah, he hit true friendship such a blow on the ear, That he keeps out of all men's sight, for shame or for fear. Now of my troth it is a pretty jest, hath he made true friendship hide his head? Sure if it be so, good neighbourhood and liberality for fear are fled. But fellow Dissimulation tell me, what Priest shall marry ye? marry that shall an old friend of mine M. Doctor Hypocrisy. Why will you not have sir Peter Pleasman to supply that want?
