Still a good hearing, let the country pay Well for their pride, 'tis gratis here at London, And that's the cause 'tis grown so general. But feed their humours, and do not spare, Bring Country-money for our London ware. Where's M. Hobson, cry you mercy sir. No harm good M. Gresham, pray draw near: I'll but dispatch a few old Customers, And bend a present ear to your discourse. At your best leisure. Nay my task is done: O M. Gresham 'twas a golden world When we were Boys, an honest Country-yeoman, Such as our fathers were, God rest their souls Would were white Karfie: bones a me you knaves, Stools for these Gentlemen, your worships welcome. You know my business. About your kinsman, He shall be welcome: beseech you Gentlemen Less of your courtesy: when shall we see the Youth? Why this is he. Which, bones a me man, which? Why this. Which, where, what this young gentleman! Bones a me man, he's not for Hobson's turn. He looks more like my Master then my servant. I must confess he is a Gentleman, And my near kinsman: were he mine own child, His service should be yours. I thank you for't, And for your sake i'll give him entertainment? But Gentleman if you become my man, You must become more civil: bones a me, What a curled pate is here? I must hait off, You see my Livery, Hobson's men are known By their Freeze Coats: and you will dwell with me, You must be plain, and leave of bravery. I hope sir to put on such civil conformity, as you shall not repent my entertainment. Pray God it prove so. If he do respect an uncles love, let him be diligent. well, M. Gresham, partly for your love, And chiefly to supply my present want, Because you say your kinsman is well seen Both in languages and factorship, I do intend to send him into France, In trust both with my Marchandzies and my Cash. And if I take not order to cashier that and myself too, a pox of all French-farthingales. How stand you minded to your Master's motion? Somewhat unwilling to leave my acquaintance, but good Uncle, I know you send me out of love, and I hope 'twill be a means to call me home the sooner. Pray God it may. I'll want of my will else, I'll play a merchants part with you, i'll take up french Commodities, velvet kirtles, and taffery foreparts; i'll ha' that I go for, or i'll make half the hothouses in Deep smoke for this trick. What are your books made even with your accounts? I have compared our wares with our receipt, And, sinned sir, ten pounds difference.
