Why this is without parallel, this! Well, I'll mark this fellow for SOGLIARDO'S use presently. Or rather, SOGLIARDO, for his use, Faith, either of 'em will serve, they are both good properties: I'll design the other a place too, that we may see him. No better place, than the Mitre, that we may be spectators with you, CARLO. Soft, behold, who enters here: signor SOGLIARDO! save you. Save you, good sir PUNTARVOLO; your dog's in health, sir, I see: how now, CARLO? We have ta'en simple pains, to choose you out followers here. Come hither, signor. Monsieur ORANGE, yond gallants observe us; pray thee let's talk fustian a little, and gull 'em: make 'em believe we are great scholars. O lord, sir. Nay, pray thee let's, believe me, you have an excellent habit in discourse. It pleases you to say so, sir. By this church, you ha' lafoy: nay, come, begin: ARISTOTLE in his Daemonologia, approves SCALIGER for the best Navigator in his time: and in his Hypercritiques, he reports him to be Heautontimorumenos: you understand the Greek, sir? O god, sir. For society's sake he does. O, here be a couple of fine tame parrots. Now, sir, whereas the Ingenuity of the time, and the souls Synderisis are but Embryos in nature, added to the paunch of Esquiline, and the Intervallum of the Zodiac, besides the Ecliptic line being optic, and not mental, but by the contemplative & theoric part thereof, doth demonstrate to us the vegetable circumference, and the ventosity of the Tropics and whereas our intellectual, or mincing capreal (according to the metaphysics) as you may read in PLATO's Histriomastix— You conceive me, sir? O lord, sir. Then coming to the pretty Animal, as Reason long since is fled to animals, you know, or indeed for the more modelizing, or enameling, or rather diamondizing of your subject, you shall perceive the Hipothesis, or Galaxia, (whereof the Meteors long since had their initial inceptions and notions) to be merely Pythagorical, Mathematical, and Aristocratical— For look you, sir, there is ever a kind of concinnity and species— Let us turn to our former discourse, for they mark us not. Mass, yonder 's the knight PUNTARVOLO. And my cousin SOGLIARDO, me thinks. I, and his familiar that baunts him, the devil with a shining face. Let 'em alone, observe 'em not. Nay, I will have him, I am resolute for that. By this parchment, gentlemen, I have been so toiled among the Heralds yonder, you will not believe, they do speak i' the strangest language, and give a man the hardest terms for his money, that ever you knew. But ha' you arms? ha your arms? Y faith, I thank god, I can write myself gentleman now, here's my patent, it cost me thirty pound, by this breath.
