Faith, spending my metal, in this reeling world (here and there) as the sway of my affection carries me, and perhaps stumble upon a yeoman pewterer, as I do now; or one of Fortune's moils, laden with treasure, and an empty cloak-bag following him, gaping when a bag will untie. Peace, you, bandog, peace: what brisk Nimfadoro is that in the white virgin boot there? Marry, sir, one, that I must entreat you take a very particular knowledge of, and with more than ordinary respect: Monsieur FASTIDIUS. Sir, I could wish that for the time of your vouchsafed abiding here, and more real entertainment, this my house stood on the Muse's hill; and these my orchards were those of the Hesperideses. I possess as much in your wish, sir, as if I were made lord of the Indies; and I pray you, believe it. I have a better opinion of his faith, then to think it will be so corrupted. Come, brother, I'll bring you acquainted with gentlemen, and good fellows, such as shall do you more grace, then— Brother, I hunger not for such acquaintance: Do you take heed, lest— hushed: my brother, sir, for want of education, sir, somewhat nodding to the boor, the clown: but I request you in private, sir.

I mar'le what it might stand him in! Nephew? 'Fore me, it's an excellent suit, and as neatly becomes him. What said you, uncle? When saw you my niece? Marry, yesternight I supped there. That kind of boot does very rare too! And what news hear you? The guilt spur and all! would I were hanged, but 'tis exceeding good. Say you, uncle? Your mind is carried away with somewhat else: I ask what news you hear? Troth, we hear none. In good faith, I was never so pleased with a fashion, days of my life! O (and I might have but my wish) I'd ask no more of god now, but such a suit, such a hat, such a band, such a doublet, such a hose, such a boot, and such a— They say, there's a new Motion of the city of Niniveh, with Jonas, and the whale, to be seen at Fleet-bridge? you can tell, cousin? Here's such a world of question with him, now: Yes, I think there be such a thing, I saw the picture: would he would once be satisfied. Let me see, the doublet, say fifty shillings the doublet, and between three or four pound the hose; then boots, hat, and band: some ten or eleven pound would do it all, and suit me for the heavens. I'll see all those devices, and I come to London once. God's 'slid, and I could compass it, 'twere rare: hark you, uncle.
