How, owe you none say you! this is but a trick to try my honesty now. There's a groat, go drink a pint of Sack, Comfort thyself thou art not well in thy wits; God forbid, pay me ten pound not due to me. God's dickens here's a jest indeed, master mad, men mad, and all mad, here's a mad household: do you hear M. Hobson, I do not greatly care to take your groat, and I care as little to spend it, yet you shall know I am Iohn, honest Iohn, and I will not be out faced of my honesty, here I had ten pounds worth of ware, and I will pay for it. Nimble-chaps, call for help Nimble-chaps, Bones of me the man begins to rave. Master I have found out one Iohn Tawnycoat, Had ten pounds worth of ware a month ago. Why that's I, that's I: I was Iohn Tawnycoat then, Though I am Iohn Gray-cote now. Iohn Tawnycoat! welcome Iohn Tawnycoat. Foot do you think i'll be out faced of my honesty? A stool for Iohn Tawnycoat, sit good Iohn Tawnycoat. Honest Iohn Tawnycoat, welcome Iohn Tawnycoat. Nay, i'll assure you we are honest all the generation of us, There 'tis to a doit I warrant it, you need not tell it after me, Foot do you think i'll be out faced of mine honesty? Thou art honest Iohn, honest Iohn Tawnycoat: Having so honestly paid for this, Sort up his pack straight worth twenty pound, I'll trust thee honest Iohn, Hobson will trust thee: And any time, the ware that thou dost lack, Money or money not, i'll stuff thy pack. I thank you Master Hobson, and this is the fruit of honesty. Be your leave M. Hobson, I bring this favour to you, My royal Mistress queen Elizabeth, Hath sent to borrow a hundred pound of you. How, bones a me, Queen know Hobson, Queen know And send but for one hundred pound: Friend come in; (Hobson? Come in friend, shall have two, Queen shall have two: If Queen know Hobson, once her Hobson's purse, Must be free for her she is England's Nurse: Come in good friend, ha, Queen know Hobson, Nay come in Iohn we'll dine together too. Make up my pack and i'll along from you Singing merrily on the way, Points, Points, Gloves, and Purses, poking-sticks, and black jet-rings, cambrics, lawns, and pretty things: Come maids and buy my back doth croak, I have all that you want: what do you lack? What do you lack? Our cities Sword-bearer and my very good friend, What have our honourable Court of Aldermen Determined yet shall Gresham have a place, To erect this worthy building to his name, May make the City speak of him for ever. They are in earnest counsel sir about it.
