Vitrum glass, spica grass, tu es Asinus, you are an Ass, Precor tibi felicem noctem. Claudite iam libros pueri sat prate bibistis, Look when you come again, you tell me ubi fuistis. He that minds trish-trash, & will not have care of his rodix, He I will be lish lash, and have a fling at his podex. A pretty wench, a passing pretty wench, A sweeter duck all London cannot yield, She cast a glance on me as I passed by, Not Helen had so ravishing an eye. Here is the Pedant Sir Aminadab, I will inquire of him if he can tell By any circumstance whose wife she: Such fellows commonly have intercourse Without suspicion, where we are debarred. God save you gentle Sir Aminadab. Salve tu quoq., would you speak with me? You are I take it, and let me not lie, For as you know, Mentirinon est meum, Young M. Arthur, quid vis, what will you? You are a man I much rely upon: There is a pretty wench dwells in this street, That keeps no shop, nor is not public known: At the two posts, next turning of the Lane, I saw her from a window looking out: O could you tell me how to come acquainted With that sweet Lass, you should command me sir, Even to the utmost of my life and power. Dij boni, boni, 'tis my Love he means, But I will keep it from this Gentleman, And so I hope make trial of my Love. If I obtain her, thou shalt win thereby, More than at this time I will promise thee. Quando venis aput, I shall have two horns on my Caput. What if her husband come & find one there? Nuncquam, time never fear, She is unmarried I swear. But if I help you to the deed, Tu vis narrare, how you speed. Tell how I speed, I sir I will to you: Then presently about it. Many thanks For this great kindness Sir Aminadab. If my Puella prove a drab I'll be revenged on both: ambo shall die, Shall die by what, for ego I Have never handled I thank God, Other weapon than a rod: I dare not fight for all my speeches, Sed cave, if I take him thus Ego sum expers at untruss. We Master justice Reason come about A serious matter that concerns us near. I mary doth it sir concern us near: Would God sir you would take some order for it. Why look ye M. Lusam, you are such another You will be talking, what concerns us near, And know not why we come to M. justice. How, know not I? No sir not you. Well I know somewhat, though I know not that, Then on I pray you. Forward I pray, yet the case is plain. Why sir as yet you do not know the case. Well he knows somewhat, forward M. Arthur.
