M. John here's a fellow below would speak with you. With me, what is he? A simple coxcomb, i'll call him up to you. Do my sweet Buffamacke: some Carrier or base knave that hangs of my liberality: I hope 'tis not pure Tim, come for the second part of my benevolence: Admit him in that he may praise our fate, And see us in our choicest pomp and state. Here's the fellow I told you of sir. zounds my Master. Sante amen: Man Iohn, a wenchart Knave, rack and manger knave: bones a me, cannot a snatch and away serve your turn, but you must lie at rack and manger? Is this the ware you deal with servant Iohn? chapman's aware sir. Sirrah, Sirrah, the dealing with such war belongs not to our Trade: bones a me knave, a Prentice must not occupy for himself but for his Master, to any purpose. And he cannot occupy for his Master without the consent of his Mistress. Come you're a knave. Of your own bringing up sir. Besides, thou canst not keep open shop here, because thou art a foreigner, by the laws of the Realm. Not within the liberty: but I hope the suburbs tolerates any man or woman to occupy for themselves, they may do't in the City too, and they be naturalized once. ay but sirrah, I'll have none of my English Prentices frenchified; bones a me knave, I'll have thee deal with no such broken Commodities. Your Worship must have such as the Country yields, or none at all. But I pray ye sir, what's our trade? What sayst thou knave? That your worship is a Haberdasher of all wares. Bones of me, a Haberdasher of small wares. And that the worst trade in all Christendom, and especially for French women: If they know a man to be a Haberdasher of small ware, they'll have no dealing with him, and therefore and you will have any good Commodities here, you must change your copy, you never were a traveler: and therefore you know not what belongs to't; but you do clean mistake this Gentlewoman, and you take her for a light wench, weigh her in equal balance, and you shall find her no such woman, no such woman I'll assure you. No, what is she then Iohn? Fore God sir, I would not have you wrong the Gentlewoman's repute, for a world. This Metressa deals for herself and hath many sorts of ware at command, I was now bargaining with her about a certain Country Commodity, and had not your coming marred the Match, one had gone through for't. And further should you wrong the Lady's reputation here in France, I'll assure you they have the law of their sides, but to confirm your good opinion of her, this is she of whom I took up your Commodity of Matches; be sorry for your offence, and excuse you to her for shame master.

Doe my sweet Buffamacke: some Carryer or base knaue that hangs of my liberalitie: I hope tis not pure Tim, come for the second part of my beneuolence: Admit him in that he may praise our fate, And see vs in our choisest pompe and state. Here's the fellow I told you of sir. Zoones my Master. Sante amen: Man Iohn, a wenchart Knaue, racke and manger knaue: bones a me, cannot a snatch and away serue your turne, but you must lie at racke and manger? Is this the ware you deale with seruant Iohn? Chap-mans ware sir. Sirra, Sirra, the dealing with such warre belongs not to our Trade: bones a me knaue, a Prentise must not occupie for himselfe but for his Master, to any purpose. And hee cannot occupie for his Master without the consent of his Mistresse. Come y'are a knaue. Of your owne bringing vp sir. Besides, thou canst not keepe open shop here, because thou art a forrainer, by the lawes of the Realme. Not within the libertie: but I hope the suburbs tollerates any man or woman to occupie for themselues, they may doo't in the Citie too, and they be naturaliz'd once. I but sirra, Ile haue none of my English Prentises Frenchefied; bones a me knaue, Ile haue thee deale with no such broken Commodities. Your Worship must haue such as the Countrey yeelds, or none at all. But I pray ye sir, what's our trade? What sayst thou knaue? That your worship is a Haberdasher of all wares. Bones of me, a Haberdasher of small wares. And that the worst trade in all Christendome, and especially for French women: If they know a man to be a Haberdasher of small ware, thee'le haue no dealing with him, and therefore and you will haue any good Commodities here, you must change your copie, you neuer were a traueller: and therefore you know not what belongs too't; but you doe cleane mistake this Gentlewoman, and you take her for a light wench, weigh her in equall ballance, and you shall find her no such woman, no such woman Ile assure you. No, what is she then Iohn? Fore God sir, I would not haue you wrong the Gentlewomans repute, for a world. This Metressa deales for herselfe and hath many sorts of ware at commaund, I was now bargaining with her about a certaine Countrey Commoditie, and had not your cōming mar'd the Match, one had gone through for't. And further should you wrong the Ladies reputation heere in Fraunce, Ile assure you they haue the law of their sides, but to confirme your good opinion of her, this is she of whom I tooke vp your Commoditie of Matches; be sorry for your offence, and excuse you to her for shame maister.
