You lack points, to bring your apparel together, sir. I'll have points anon: how now? is't right? Faith, sir, 'tis too little, but upon farther hopes— Good morrow to you, sir. Farewell, good haberdasher. Well, now master SNIP, let me see your bill. Me thinks he discharges his followers too thick. O, therein he fancily imitates some great man. I warrant you, though he turns off them, he keeps this tailor, in place of a page, to follow him still. This bill is very reasonable, in faith (hark you, master SNIP) Troth, sir, I am not altogether so well furnished at this present, as I could wish I were, but— If you'll do me the favour to take part in hand, you shall have all I have, by this hand— Sir— And, but give me credit for the rest, till the beginning of the next term. O lord, sir— Fore god, and by this light, I'll pay you to the utmost, and acknowledge myself very deeply engaged to you, by the courtesy. Why, how much have you there, sir? Marry I have here four angels, and fifteen shillings of white money: it's all I have, as I hope to be blessed. You will not fail me, at the next term, with the rest. No, and I do, pray heaven, I be hanged. Let me never breath again, upon this mortal stage, as the philosopher calls it. By this air, and (as I am a gentleman) I'll hold. He were an iron-hearted fellow, in my judgement, that would not credit him upon this volley of oaths. Well, sir, I'll not stick with any gentleman for a trifle: you know what 'tis, remains? I, sir, and I give you thanks in good faith. O fate! how happy am I made in this good fortune! Well, now I'll go seek out Monsieur BRISKE. Odds so, I have forgot ribbon for my shoes, and points. 'Slid, what luck 's this! how shall I do? Master SNIP, pray let me reduct some two or three shillings for points, and ribbon: as I am an honest man, I have utterly disfurnished myself, in the default of memory, pray'le me be beholding to you, it shall come home i'the bill, believe me. Faith, sir, I can hardly depart with ready money, but I'll take up, and send you some by my boy, presently. What coloured ribbon would you have? What you shall think meet i'your judgement, sir, to my suit. Well, I'll send you some presently. And points too, sir? And points too, sir. Good lord! how shall I study to deserve this kindness of you, sir? Pray, let your youth make haste, for I should have done a business an hour since, that I doubt I shall come too late. Now, in good faith, I am exceeding proud of my suit.
