To help your longing, signor, let your imagination be swifter them a pair of oars: and by this, suppose PUNTARVOLO, BRISKE, FUNGOSO, and the dog arrived at the court gate, and going up to the great chamber. MACILENTE, and SOGLIARDO, we'll leave them on the water, till possibility and natural means may land 'em. Here come the gallants, now prepare your expectation. COme, gentles. signor, you are sufficiently instructed. Who, I, sir? No, this gentleman. But stay, I take thought how to bestow my dog, he is no competent attendant for the presence. Mass, that's true indeed, knight, you must not carry him into the presence. I know it, and I (like a dull beast) forgot to bring one of my cormorants to attend me. Why, you're best leave him at the porters lodge. Not so: his worth is too well known amongst them, to be forthcoming. 'Slight, how'll you do then? I must leave him with one, that is ignorant of his quality, if I will have him to be safe. And see! Here comes one that will carry coals, ergo, will hold my dog. My honest friend, may I commit the tuition of this dog to thy prudent care? You may, if you please, sir. Pray thee let me find thee here at my return: it shall not be long, till I will ease thee of thy employment, and please thee. Forth, gentles. Why, but will you leave him with so slight command, and infirse no more charge, upon the fellow? Charge? no; there were no policy in that: that were to let him know the value of the gem he holds, and so, to tempt frail nature against her disposition. No, pray thee let thy honesty be sweet, as it shall be short. Yes, sir. But hark you gallants, and chiefly Monsieur BRISKE. When we come in eye-shot, or presence of this lady, let not other matters carry us from our project: but (if we can) single her forth to some place— I warrant you. And be not too sudden, but let the device induce itself with good circumstance. On. Is this the way? good truth, here be fine hangings. Honesty sweet, and short? marry it shall, sir, doubt you not: for even at this instant if one would give me twenty pounds, I would not deliver him; there's for the sweet; but now, if any man come offer me but two pence, he shall have him; there's for the short now. 'Slid, what a mad humorous gentleman is this to leave his dog with me? I could run away with him now, and he were worth any thing. Come on, signor, now prepare to court this all-witted lady, most naturally, and like yourself. Faith, and you say the word, I'll begin to her in tobacco.

To helpe your longing, signior, let your imagination be swifter them a paire of oares: and by this, suppose PVNTARVOLO, BRISKE, FVNGOSO, and the dogge arriu'd at the court gate, and going vp to the great chamber. MACILENTE, and SOGLIARDO, wee'le leaue them on the water, till possibilitie and naturall meanes may land 'hem. Here come the gallants, now prepare your expectation. COme, gentles. Signior, you are sufficiently instructed. Who, I, sir? No, this gentleman. But stay, I take thought how to bestow my dogge, he is no competent attendant for the presence. Masse, that's true indeed, knight, you must not carrie him into the presence. I know it, and I (like a dull beast) forgot to bring one of my cormorants to attend me. Why, you're best leaue him at the porters lodge. Not so: his worth is too well knowne amongst them, to bee forth-comming. Slight, how'll you doe then? I must leaue him with one, that is ignorant of his qualitie, if I will haue him to be safe. And see! Here comes one that wil carrie coales, ergo, will hold my dogge. My honest friend, may I commit the tuition of this dogge to thy prudent care? You may, if you please, sir. Pray thee let me find thee here at my returne: it shall not bee long, till I will ease thee of thy imployment, and please thee. Forth, gentles. Why, but will you leaue him with so slight command, and infirse no more charge, vpon the fellow? Charge? no; there were no policie in that: that were to let him know the value of the gemme he holds, and so, to tempt fraile nature against her disposition. No, pray thee let thy honestie be sweet, as it shall be short. Yes, sir. But harke you gallants, and chiefely Monsieur BRISKE. When we come in eye-shot, or presence of this ladie, let not other matters carrie vs from our proiect: but (if wee can) single her forth to some place— I warrant you. And bee not too suddaine, but let the deuice induce it selfe with good circumstance. On. Is this the way? good truth, here be fine hangings. Honestie sweet, and short? mary it shall, sir, doubt you not: for euen at this instant if one would giue mee twentie pounds, I would not deliuer him; there's for the sweet; but now, if any man come offer me but two pence, he shall haue him; there's for the short now. Slid, what a mad humorous gentleman is this to leaue his dogge with me? I could run away with him now, and hee were worth any thing. Come on, signior, now prepare to court this all-witted ladie, most naturally, and like your selfe. Faith, and you say the word, I'le begin to her in tabacco.
