I'll try what that will do, if you please. Do so: and when you have 'em, study hard. Yes sir: and I could study to get forty shillings more now: well, I will put myself into the Fashion, as far as this will go presently. I wonder it rains not! the Almanac says we should have store of rain to day. Why sir, tomorrow I will associate you to the Court myself; and from thence to the City, about a Business, a Project I have: I will expose it to you sir: Carlo I am sure has heard of it. What's that sir? I do intend this year of jubilee to travail: and (because I will not altogether go upon expense) I am determined to put forth some five thousand pound, to be paid me five for one, upon the return of myself, my Wife, and my Dog, from the Turks Court in Constantinople. If all, or either of us miscarry in the journey, 'tis gone: if we be successful, why, there will be xxv. thousand pound to entertain time withal. Nay, go not neighbour Sordido; stay tonight, and help to make our society the fuller. Gentlemen, frolic: Carlo? what? dull now? I was thinking on your Project sir, and you call it so: is this the Dog goes with you? This is the Dog sir. He do'not go barefoot, does he? Away you traitor, away. Nay afore God, I speak simply; he may prick his foot with a thorn, and be as much as the whole venture is worth. Besides, for a Dog that never travailed before, its huge journey to Constantinople: I'll tell you now (and he were mine) I'd have some present conference with a Physician, what Antidotes were good to give him, and Preservatives against poison: for (assure you) if once your money be out, there'll be divers attempts made against the life of the poor Animal. Thou art still dangerous. Is signor Deliro's wife your kinswoman? ay sir, she is my Niece, my brother's daughter here, and my nephews sister. Do you know her sir? O God sir, signor Deliro her husband is my Merchant. ay, I have seen this Gentleman there, often. I cry you mercy sir: let me crave your name, pray you. Fungoso sir. Good signor Fungoso, I shall request to know you better sir. I am her brother Sir. In fair time sir. Come Gentlemen, I will be your Conduct. Nay pray you sir; we shall meet at signor Deliro's often. You shall ha'me at the Herald's office sir, for some week or so, at my first coming up. Come Carlo. methinks Cordatus, he dwelled somewhat too long on this Scene; it hung i'the hand. I see not where he could have insisted less, and t'have made the Humours perspicuous enough. True, as his Subject lies: but he might have altered the shape of Argument, & explicated 'em better in single Scenes.
