By you Sir? I know not that: but 'twas for you and your company, I am sure. My company? 'Slid I was an invited guest, so I was. Faith we have nothing to do with that Sir, they're all gone but you, and we must be answered; that's the short and the long on't. Nay, if you will grow to extremities, my Masters, then would this Pot, Cup, and all were in my belly, if I have a cross about me. What, and have such Apparel? Do not say so, signor, that mightily discredits your clothes. By Iesu the Tailor had all my money this morning, and yet I must be feign to alter my Suit too: good sirs, let me go, 'tis Friday night; and in good truth I have no stomach in the world to eat any thing. That's no matter so you pay sir. Pay? God's light, with what conscience can you ask me to pay that I never drank for? Yes sir, I did see you drink once. By this Cup (which is silver) but you did not, you do me infinite wrong, I looked in the pot once indeed, but I did not drink. Well sir, if you can satisfy my Master, it shall be all one to us. By and by. Lose not yourself now signor. Tut sir, you did bear too hard a conceit of me in that, but I will now make my love to you most transparent, in spite of any dust of suspicion, that may be raised to dim it: and henceforth since I see it is so against your Humour, I will never labour to persuade you. Why I thank you signor, but what's that you tell me may concern my peace so much? Faith sir 'tis thus. Your wives brother signor Fungoso, being at supper tonight at a Tavern with a sort of Gallants: there happened some division amongst'em, and he is left in pawn for the Reckoning: now if ever you look that time shall present you with a happy occasion to do your wife some gracious and acceptable service, take hold of this Opportunity, and presently go and redeem him; for being her brother, and his credit so amply engaged as now it is, when she shall hear (as he cannot himself, but he must out of extremity report it) that you came and offered yourself so kindly, and with that respect of his Reputation, 'slud the benefit cannot but make her dote, and grow mad of your affections. Now by heaven Macilente, I acknowledge myself exceedingly indebted to you, by this kind tender of your love; and I am sorry to remember that I was ever so rude to neglect a friend of your worth, bring me shoes and a cloak there, I was going to bed if you had not come, what Tavern is it? The Mitre sir.
