Thinkest thou so Tanner: 'tis no matter what I think, come let's go to supper, What Nell, what Dudgeon, where be these folks? Daughter bid my friends welcome. Ye are welcome Gentlemen as I may say. I thank ye fair maid. A pretty wench be my fay. How likest her Ned? I like her so well, I would ye would make me your son in law. And I like thee so well Ned, that hadst thou an occupation, for service is no heritage, a young courtier, an old beggar, I could find in my heart to cast her away upon thee, and if thou wilt forsake the court and turn Tanner, or vind thyself to a shoemaker in Lichfield, I'll give thee twenty nobles ready money, with my Nell, and trust thee with a dicker of leather, to set up thy trade. Ned he offers ye fair, if ye have the grace to take it. He does indeed, Tom, and hereafter i'll tell him more. Come sit down to supper: go to Nell, no more sheeps eyes, ye may be caught I tell ye, these be irish lads. I warrant ye father, yet in truth Ned is a very proper man, and other may serve, but Ned's a pearl in mine eye. Daughter, call Dudgeon and his fellows, we'll have a three men song, to make our guests merry. Nails what courtnolls are ye? ye'll neither talk nor eat, What news at the court? do somewhat for your meat. Heavy news there, King Henrie is dead. That's light news & merry for your master king Edward. But how will the commons take it? Well, God be with good King Henrie, faith the commons will take it as a common thing, deaths an honest man, for he spares not the King: for as one comes, another's ta'en away, and seldom comes the better, that's all we say. Shrewdly spoken Tanner by my fay. Come fill me a cup of mother Whetstone's ale, I may drink to my friends, and drive down my tale. Here Ned and Tom I drink to ye: and yet if I come to the court, I doubt you'll not know me. Yes, Tom shall be thy surety Tanner I will know thee. If thou dost not Ned, by my troth I beshrew thee. I drink to my wife that may be. Faith Ned thou mayst live to make her a Lady. Tush, her father offers nothing, having no more children but her. I would I had not, condition she had all. But I have a knave to my son, I remember him by you, even such an ●thrist as one of you two, that spends all on gay clothes and new fashions, and no work will down with him, that I fear he'll be hanged, God bless you from a better fortune, yet you wear such filthy breeks, Lord, were not this a good fashion? yes, and would save many a fair penny.
