A fit Trumpet to proclaim such a person. But can this be possible? why 'tis nothing sir, when a man gives his Affections to it. Good Pylades discourse a Robbery or two, to satisfy these Gentlemen of thy worth. Pardon me my dear Orestes: Causes have their Quiddits, and 'tis ill jesting with Bell-ropes. How? Pylades and Orestes? ay, he is my Pylades, and I am his Orestes: how like you the conceit? O, it's an old stale Interlude devise: No, I'll give you Names myself: look you, he shall be your Iudas, and you shall be his Elder tree to hang on. Nay rather, let him be Captain Pod, and this his Motion; for he does nothing but Show him. Excellent: or thus; you shall be Holden, and he your camel. You do not mean to ride Gentlemen? Faith let me end it for you Gallants: you shall be his Countenance, and he your Resolution. Troth that's pretty: how say you Cavalier, shalt be so? ay, ay, most voices. Faith I am easily yielding to any good Impressions: Then give hands good Resolution. Mass he cannot say good Countenance now (properly) to him again. Yes, by an Irony. O sir, the countenance of Resolution should, as he's altogether grim and unpleasant. Good hours make Music with your mirth Gentlemen, and keep time to your humours: how now Carlo? Monsieur Briske! many a long look have I extended for you sir. Good faith I must crave pardon; I was invited this morning ere I was out of my bed, by a Bevy of Ladies, to a Banquet: whence it was almost one of Hercules' Labours for me to come away, but that the respect of my promise did so prevail with me: I know they'll take it very ill, especially one that gave me this Bracelet of her Hair but over night, and this Pearl another gave me from her forehead, Mary she— what? are the Writings ready? I will send my man to know. Sirrah, go you to the Notaries, and learn if he be ready: leave the Dog sir. And how does my rare qualified friend Sogliardo? oh signor Macilente! by these eyes I saw you not, I had saluted you sooner else on my troth: I hope sir I may presume upon you that you will not divulge my late cheek, or disgrace indeed sir. You may sir. S'heart he knows some notorious jest by this Gull, that he hath him so obsequious. Monsieur Fastidius, do you see this fellow there? does he not look like a Clown? would you think there's any thing in him? Any thing in him? beshrew me, I; the fellow hath a good ingenious face. By this Element, he is an ingenious tall man as ever swaggered about London: he and I call Countenance & Resolution, but his name is Cavalier Shift. Cavalier, you knew signor Clog, that was hanged for the robbery at Harrow on the hill? Knew him Sir! why 'twas he gave all the directions for the Action. How? was't your Project sir?

A fit Trumpet to proclaime such a person. But can this be possible? why' tis nothing sir, when a man giues his Affections to it. Good Pylades discourse a Robberie or two, to satisfie these Gentlemen of thy worth. Pardon me my deare Orestes: Causes haue their Quiddits, and 'tis ill jesting with Bell-ropes. How? Pylades and Orestes? I, he is my Pylades, and I am his Orestes: how like you the conceit? O, it's an old stale Enterlude deuise: No, I'le giue you Names my selfe: looke you, he shal be your Iudas, and you shal be his Elder tree to hang on. Nay rather, let him be Captaine Pod, and this his Motion; for he does nothing but Shew him. Excellent: or thus; you shall be Holden, and hee your camell. You doe not meane to ride Gentlemen? Faith let me end it for you Gallants: you shall be his Countenance, and he your Resolution. Troth that's prettie: how say you Caualier, shalt be so? I, I, most voices. Faith I am eas'ly yeelding to any good Impressions: Then giue hands good Resolution. Masse he cannot say good Countenance now (properly) to him againe. Yes, by an Ironie. O sir, the countenance of Resolution should, as hee's altogither grim and vnpleasant. Good houres make Musicke with your mirth Gentlemen, and keepe time to your humors: how now Carlo? Monsieur Briske! many a long looke haue I extended for you sir. Good faith I must craue pardon; I was inuited this morning ere I was out of my bedde, by a Beuie of Ladies, to a Banquet: whence it was almost one of Hercules Labors for me to come away, but that the respect of my promise did so preuaile with me: I know they'le take it verie ill, especially one that gaue me this Bracelet of her Haire but ouer night, and this Pearle another gaue me from her forehead, Mary she— what? are the VVritings readie? I will send my man to know. Sirrah, goe you to the Notaries, and learne if he be readie: leaue the Dog sir. And how does my rare qualified friend Sogliardo? oh Signior Macilente! by these eyes I saw you not, I had saluted you sooner else on my troth: I hope sir I may presume vpon you that you will not divulge my late cheeke, or disgrace indeed sir. You may sir. S'heart hee knowes some notorious jest by this Gull, that he hath him so obsequious. Monsieur Fastidius, doe you see this fellow there? does hee not looke like a Clowne? would you thinke there's any thing in him? Any thing in him? beshrow me, I; the fellow hath a good ingenious face. By this Element, hee is an ingenious tall man as euer swaggerd about London: hee and I call Countenance & Resolution, but his name is Caualier Shift. Caualier, you knew Signior Clog, that was hang'd for the robberie at Harrow on the hill? Knew him Sir! why 'twas hee gaue all the directions for the Action. How? was't your Project sir?
