Why 'slid sir, I have as good, as proper gallants words for it as any are in London, Gentlemen of good phrase, perfect language, passingly behaved, Gallants that wear socks and clean linen, and call me kind cozen Frank, good cousin Frank, for they know my Father; and by god; lid shall not I trust hem? not trust? What do ye lack Sir? What is't you'll buy Sir? I marry Sir, there's a youth of another piece. There's thy fellow-prentice, as good a Gentleman borne as thou art: nay, and better meaned. But does he pump it, or Racket it? Well, if he thrive not, if he outlast not a hundred such crackling Bavins as thou art, God and men neglect industry. It is his Shop, and here my M. walks. With me Boy? My Master, Sir Petronel Flash, recommends his love to you, and will instantly visit you, To make up the match with my eldest daughter, my wives Dilling, whom she longs to call Madam. He shall find me unwillingly ready Boy. there's another affliction too. As I have two Prentices: the one of a boundless prodigality, the other of a most hopeful Industry. So have I only two daughters: the eldest, of a proud ambition and nice wantonness: the other of a modest humility and comely soberness. The one must be Ladyfied forsooth: and be attired just to the Court-cut, and long tail. So far is she ill natured to the place and means of my preferment and fortune, that she throws all the contempt and despite, hatred itself can cast upon it. Well, a piece of Land she has, 'twas her Grandmothers gift: let her, and her Sir Petronel, flash out that. But as for my substance, she that scorns me, as I am a Citizen and Tradesman, shall never pamper her pride with my industry: shall never use me as men do Foxes; keep themselves warm in the skin, and throw the body that bore it to the dunghill. I must go entertain this Sir Petronel. Goulding, My utmost care's for thee, and only trust in thee, look to the shop, as for you, Master Quicksilver, think of husks, for thy course is running directly to the prodigals hog's trough. husks Sra. Works upon that now. Mary seek goodman flatcap: 'sfoot though I am a prentice I can give arms, and my father's a justice a peace by descent: and 'zblood— Fie how you swear. 'sfoot man I am a Gentleman, and may swear by my pedigree, God's my life. Sirrah Goulding, wilt be ruled by a fool? turn good fellow, turn swaggering gallant, and let the Welkin roar, and Erebus also: Look not Westward to the fall of Don Phoebus, but to the East; Eastward Hoe," Where radiant beams of lusty Solemnising appear," And bright Eovs makes the welkin clear. We are both Gentlemen, and therefore should be no coxcombs: let's be no longer fools to this flatcap Touchstone. Eastward Bully: this Satin belly, & Canvas backed Touchstone; 'slife man his father was a Maltman, and his mother sold Gingerbread in Christ-church.
