Farewell, sweet APPLE JOHN: I wonder, there are no more store of gallants here! What be these two, signor? Marry, a couple sir, that are mere strangers to the whole scope of our play; only come to walk a turn or two, in'is Scene of Paul's, by chance. Same you, good master CLOVE. Sweet master ORANGE. How? CLOVE, and ORANGE? I, and they are well met, for 'tis as dry an ORANGE as ever grew: nothing, but Salutation; and, O god, sir; and, It pleases you to say so, Sir; one that can laugh at a jest for company with a most plausible, and extemporal grace; and some hour after, in private, ask you what it was: the other, monsieur CLOVE, is a more spiced youth: he will fit you a whole afternoon sometimes, in a booksellers shop, reading the Greek, Italian, and Spanish; when he understands not a word of either: if he had the tongues, to his suits, he were an excellent linguist. Do you hear this reported, for certainty? O god, sir. SIrrah, take my cloak: and you sir knave, follow me closer. If thou losest my dog, thou shalt die a dog's death; I will hang thee. Tut, fear him not, he's a good lean slave, he loves a dog well, I warrant him; I see by his looks, I: mass he's somewhat like him. 'Slud poison him, make him away with a crooked pin, or somewhat, men; thou mayst have more security of thy life: and so sir, what? you ha' not put out your whole venture yet? ha you? No, I do want yet some fifteen, or sixteen hundred pounds: but my lady (my wife) is out of her humour; she does not now go. No? how then? Marry, I am now enforced to give it out, upon the return of myself, my dog, and my cat. Your cat? where is she? My squire has her there, in the bag: Sirrah, look to her: How lik'st thou my change, CARLO? Oh, for the better, sir; your cat has nine lines, and your wife ha' but one. Besides, she will never be seasick, which will save me so much in conserves: when saw you signor SOGLIARDO? I came from him but now, he is at the Herald's office yonder: he requested me to go afore, and take up a man or two for him in Paul's, against his cognisance was ready. What? has he purchased arms, then? I, and rare ones too: of as many colours, as e'er you saw any fools coat in your life. I'll go look among yond bills, and I can fit him with legs to his arms— With legs to his arms! Good: I will go with you, sir. COme, let's walk in Mediterraneo: I assure you, sir, I am not the least respected among ladies; but let that pass: do you know how to go into the presence, sir? Why, on my feet, sir.
