I had rather make up the garment of my affections in some of the same piece, then like a fool wear gowns of two colours, or mix Sackcloth with Satin. And do the costly garments; the title and fame of a Lady the fashion; observation, and reverence proper to such preferment, no more inflame you, than such convenience as my poor means and industry can offer to your virtues? I have observed that the bridle given to those violent flatteries of fortune, is seldom recovered; they bear one headlong in desire from one novelty to another: and where those ranging appetites reign, there is ever more passion than reasons no stay, and so no happiness. These hasty advancements are not natural; Nature hath given us legs, to go to our objects; not wings to fly to them. How dear an object you are to my desires I cannot express, whose fruition would my masters absolute consent and yours vouchsafe me, I should be absolutely happy. And though it were a grace so far beyond my merit, that I should blush with unworthiness to receive it, yet thus far both my love & my means shall assure your requital; you shall want nothing fit for your birth and education; what increase of wealth and advancement the honest and orderly industry & skill of our trade will afford in any, I doubt not will be aspired by me; I will ever make your contentment the end of my endeavours; I will love you above all; and only your grief shall be my misery; and your delight, my felicity. Work upon that now. By my hopes, he woes honestly and orderly; he shallbe Anchor of my hopes. Look, see the ill yoked monster his fellow. Eastward Hoe; Holla ye pampered jades of Asia. Drunk now down right, a, my fidelity. pulldo, Pulldo; show quoth the Caliver. Fie fellow quicksilver, what a pickle are you in? Pickle? pickle in thy throat; zounes pickle? wa ha ho, good morrow knight Petronel: morrow lady Goldsmith. come of, Knight, with a counterbuff, for the honour of knighthood. Why how now sir? do ye know where you are? Where I am? why 'sblood you loulthead where I am? Go to, go to, for shame go to bed, and sleep out this immodesty: thou sham'st both my master and his house. Shame? what shame? I thought, thou wouldst show thy bringing up: and thou wert a Gentleman as I am, thou wouldst think it no shame to be drunk. Lend me some money, save my credit, I must dine with the serving men and their wives; and their wives sirrah. e'en who you will, I'll not lend thee three pence. 'sfoot lend me some money, hast thou not Hyren here? Why how now sirrah? what vain's this, hah? Who cries on murder? lady was it you? how does our master? pray thee cry Eastward ho?

I had rather make vp the garment of my affections in ſome of the ſame peece, then like a foole weare gownes of two coulours, or mix Sackcloth with Sattin. And doe the coſtly garments; the title and fame of a Lady the faſhion; obſeruation, and reuerence proper to ſuch preferment, no more enflame you, then ſuch conuenience as my poore meanes and induſtrie can offer to your vertues? I haue obſeru'd that the bridle giuen to thoſe violent flatteries of fortune, is ſeldome recouer'd; they beare one headlong in deſire from one noueltie to another: and where thoſe ranging appetites raigne, there is euer more paſſion then reaſons no ſtaye, and ſo no happineſſe. Theſe haſtie aduancements are not naturall; Nature hath giuen vs legges, to goe to our obiects; not wings to flie to them. How deare an obiect you are to my deſires I cannot expreſſe, whoſe fruition would my maiſters abſolute conſent and yours vouchſafe me, I ſhould be abſolutely happy. And though it were a grace ſo farre beyond my merit, that I ſhould bluſh with vnworthineſſe to receiue it, yet thus farre both my loue & my meanes ſhall aſſure your requitall; you ſhall want nothing fit for your birth and education; what encreaſe of wealth and aduancement the honeſt and orderly induſtrie & skill of our trade will affoorde in any, I doubt not will be aſpirde by me; I will euer make your contenment the end of my endeuours; I will loue you aboue all; and onely your griefe ſhall be my miſerie; and your delight, my felicitie. Worke vpon that now. By my hopes, he woes honeſtly and orderly; he ſhalbe Anchor of my hopes. Looke, ſee the ill yoakt monſter his fellow. Eaſtward Hoe; Holla ye pampered lades of Aſia. Drunke now downe right, a, my fidelitie. pulldo, Pulldo; ſhowſe quoth the Caliuer. Fie fellow Quickeſiluer, what a pickle are you in? Pickle? pickle in thy throate; zounes pickell? wa ha ho, good morow knight Petronell: morow lady Gouldſmith▪ come of, Knight, with a counterbuff, for the honor of knighthood. Why how now ſir? doe yee know where you are? Where I am? why sbloud you loulthead where I am? Go to, go to, for ſhame go to bed, and ſleepe out this immodeſtie: thou ſham'ſt both my maiſter and his houſe. Shame? what ſhame? I thought, thou wouldſt ſhow thy bringing vp: and thou wert a Gentleman as I am, thou wouldſt thinke it no ſhame to be drunke. Lend me ſome money, ſaue my credit, I muſt dine with the Seruing men and their wiues; and their wiues ſirha. E'ene who you will, Ile not lend thee three pence. Sfoote lend me ſome money, haſt thou not Hyren here? Why how now ſirha? what vain's this, hah? Who cries on murther? lady was it you? how does our maiſter? pray thee crie Eaſtward ho?
