Well sir, will it please you to come and dine with me. I thank you sir heartily. But what's he there in your company. A plain fellow, and his name is Honesty. O let him go where he will, for he shall not dine with me. See how the Farmer fears my name, What would he do if he knew my nature? But hear you (master Courtier) shall I dine with you? I promise you sir, I am very hungry, Truly Honesty, if I were furnished with money, I would not stick to give thee thy dinner, But now thou seest I am but a guest myself. Truly honest fellow, if I were certain of my cheer, I would bid thee to dinner, but know not my provision I promise thee Hear you sir, will it please you to take part of a piece of beef with me, you shall be welcome. I thank you sir, but I must dine with my honest friend here, else I would not refuse your gentle offer. See how he can use my name and not me, But I perceive I may go dine with Duke Humfrie, Good bye Gentlemen, for none here hath occasion to use Honesty Yes Honesty, thou shalt be my brother's guest and mine. marry and I thank you to, for now the world may say, That Honesty dines with Hospitality today, DAughter, see that you entertain the Earl, As best beseems his state and thy degree: He comes to see whether Fame have worthily been niggard, in commending thee or no, So shall thy virtues be admired at the court. And thou be praised for kind and debonair, For courtesy contents a Courtier oft: When nothing else seems pleasant in his eyes. Father, you shall perceive that Alfrida Will do her best in honouring of your age, To entertain the Earl of Cornwell so, That he shall think him highly favoured, Throw loving speech and courteous entertain. How fares my L. of Cornwall, what displeased Or troubled with a mood that's male content? Not male content, and yet I am not well, For I am troubled with a painful rheum, That when I would be merry, troubles me, And commonly it holds me in my eyes. With such extremes, that I can scantly see. How long have you been troubled with the pain, Or is it a pain that you have usual? Or is it some water, that by taking cold, Is fallen into your eyes, and troubles you? I cannot tell, but sure it pains me much, Nor did it ever trouble me till now, For till I came to lodge within your house, My eyes were clear, and I never felt the pain. I am sorry that my house should cause your grief Daughter, if you have any skill at all, I pray you use your cunning with the Earl, And see if you can ease him of his pain.
