It is well said, Sir; and it is well said, indeed, too: Better accommodated? it is good, yea indeed is it: good phrases are surely, and every where very commendable. Accommodated, it comes of Accommodo: very good, a good Phrase. Pardon, Sir, I have heard the word. Phrase call you it? by this Day, I know not the Phrase: but I will maintain the Word with my Sword, to be a Soldierlike Word, and a Word of exceeding good Command. Accommodated: that is, when a man is (as they say) accommodated: or, when a man is, being whereby he thought to be accommodated, which is an excellent thing. It is very just: Look, here comes good Sir Iohn. Give me your hand, give me your Worship's good hand: Trust me, you look well: and bear your years very well. Welcome, good Sir Iohn. I am glad to see you well, good M. Robert Shallow: Master Surecard as I think? No sir Iohn, it is my Cousin Silence: in Commission with me. Good M. Silence, it well befits you should be of the peace. Your good Worship is welcome. Fie, this is hot weather (Gentlemen) have you provided me here half a dozen of sufficient men? Marry have we sir: Will you sit? Let me see them, I beseech you. Where's the Roll? Where's the Roll? Where's the Roll? Let me see, let me see, let me see: so, so, so, so: yea marry Sir. Ralph Mouldy: let them appear as I call: let them do so, let them do so: Let me see, Where is Mouldy? here, if it please you. What think you (Sir Iohn) a good limbed fellow: young, strong, and of good friends. Is thy name Mouldy? Yea, if it please you. 'Tis the more time thou wert used. Ha', ha', ha', most excellent. Things that are mouldy, lack use: very singular good. Well said Sir Iohn, very well said. Prick him. I was pricked well enough before, if you could have let me alone: my old Dame will be undone now, for one to do her Husbandry, and her Drudgery; you need not to have pricked me, there are other men fit to go out, then I. Go too: peace Mouldy, you shall go. Mouldie, it is time you were spent. Spent? Peace, fellow, peace; stand aside: Know you where you are? For the other sir Iohn: Let me see: Simon Shadow. I marry, let me have him to sit under: he's like to be a cold soldier. Where's Shadow? here sir. Shadow, whose son art thou? My Mother's son, Sir. Thy Mother's son: like enough, and thy Father's shadow: so the son of the Female, is the shadow of the Male: it is often so indeed, but not of the Father's substance. Do you like him, sir Iohn? Shadow will serve for Summer: prick him: For we have a number of shadows to fill up the Muster-book. Thomas Wart? Where's he? here sir. Is thy name Wart? Yea sir.
