A new man, what else Uncle, I'll be a new man from the top to toe, or i'll want of my will: Instead of Tennis-Court, my morning Exercise shallbe at Saint Antline's: i'll leave Ordinaries, and to the end I may forswear Dicing and Drabbing, keep me more short Uncle, only allow me good apparel, good Rags i'll stand to't are better than seven years prenticeship, for they'll make a man free of any, nay of all Companies without Indenture, Father's copy, or any help whatsoever, but I see my error, wild Youth must be bridled, keep me short good Uncle. On these presumptions i'll apparel thee, And to confirm this resolution, I will prefer you unto Master Hobson, A man of a well known discretion. Any thing good Uncle, I have served my prenticeship already, but bind me again and I shall be content, and 'tis but reason neither, send me to the Conduit with the water-tankard, i'll beat Linen, Bucks, or any thing to redeem my negligence. Your education challenge more respect. The Factor dealt for him in France, is dead. And you intend to send me in his room, I do indeed. I 'tis well done Uncle, and 'twill not be amiss in policy to do so: the only way to curb a dissolute youth as I am, is to send him from his acquaintance, and therefore send me far enough good Uncle, send me into France and spare not, and if that reclaim me not, give me over as one past all goodness. Now afore God my thoughts were much against him, And my intent was to have chid him roundly, But his submissive recantation. Hath made me friends with him, Come follow me, I'll do thee good, and that immediately. Thank you good Uncle, you'll send me into France, all Forboone: and I do not show you the right trick of a cousin afore I leave England, i'll give you leave to call me Cut, and cozen me of my patrimony as you have done. Prithee fellow Goodman, set forth the ware, and look to the shop a little, I'll but drink a cup of wine with a Customer at the Rose and Crown in the Poultry, and come again presently. Foot I cannot, I must needs step to the Dagger in Cheap to send a Letter into the Country unto my father, stand by, you are the youngest prentice, look you to the shop. Where be these varlets, bones a me, at Tavern? knaves, villains, spend goods, foot my Customers Must either serve themselves, or pack unserved. Now they peep like Italian pantaloons Behind an Arras, but i'll start you knaves, I have a shooing-horn to draw on your liquour, What say you to a piece of a salt Eel? Come forth you hangdogs, bones a me the knaves Fleer in my face, they know me to too well, I talk and prate, and lay't not on their jacks, And the proud jacks care not a fig for me: But bones a me, i'll turn another leaf. Where have you been sir?
