Upon him? go too, go too Peter Salamander; hold, in God's name hold; I will kill him to his face, because I mean he shall answer for it; being an eye-witness; one vrde Captain Tucky. I'll give thee ten thousand words and thou wilt, my little Thomas Thomasius. By Sesu, 'tis best you give good urds too, lest I beat out your tongue, and make your vrde near to be taken more; do you hear, five pounds, five pounds Tucky. thou shalt ha' five, and five, and five and thou want'st money my Iob. Leave your fetches and your fegaries, you tough leather-Ierkins; leave your quandaries, and tricks, and draw upon me you're best: you coney-catch Widow Miniver-caps for five pounds, and say 'tis for me to cry Mum, and make me run up and down in dishonours, and discredits; is't not true, you wink-a-pipes rascal? is not true? Right, true, guilty, I remember't now; for when I spoke a good word to the Widow for thee my young Sampson— For five pounds you cheating scab, for 5. pounds, not for me. For thee o Caesar, for thee I took up five pounds in gold, that lay in her lap, & said I'd give it thee as a token from her: I did it but to smell out how she stood affected to thee, to feel her; ay, and I know what she said, I know how I carried away the gold. By Sesu, I ha' not the mercy to fall upon him now: M. Tucky, did widow Miniuers part quietly from her gold, because you lied, and said it was for me? Quietly, in peace, without grumbling; made no noise, I know how I tempted her, in thy behalf; my little Trang do. Captain Tucky, I will pay back her 5. l. (unless you be damned in lies) & hold you, I pray you pocket up this; by the cross a this sword & dagger, Captain you shall take it. Dost swear by daggers? nay then I'll put up more at thy hands then this. Is the fray done sir? Done Peter, put up your smeeter. Come hither, my sour-faced Poet; fling away that beard-brush Bubo, cashier him and hark: Knight attend: So, that cods-head and bloodybones Sir Adam, has fee'd another brat (of those nine common wenches) to defend baldness and to rail against hair: he'll have a fling at thee, my noble Cock-Sparrow. At me? will he fling the cudgels of his wit at me? And at thy button-cap too; but come, I'll be your leader you shall stand, hear all, & not be seen; cast off that blue coat away with that flawn, and follow, come: Bubo, we follow Captain. Peter, leave coming behind me, I pray any longer for you and I must part Peter. Sounds Sir, I hope you will not serve me so, to turn me away in this case.
