What means your Lordship? Only to do you right sir, and myself ease. And what sir, will there be some show tonight? A slender presentation of some music And some thing else my Lord. 'tis passing good sir, I'll not be over bold t'ask the particulars. Yes, if your Lordship please. O no good sir, But I did wonder much; for as methought I saw your hands at work. Or else my Lord Our business would be but badly done. How virtuous is a worthy man's example? Who is this throne for pray? For my Lord's daughter, Whom the duke makes to represent his duchess. 'twill be exceeding fit; and all this room Is passing well prepared; a man would swear, That all presentments in it would be rare. Nay, see if thou canst lay 'em thus in threaves. In threaves d'ee call it? I my Lord in threaves. A pretty term: Well sir I thank you highly for this kindness, And pray you always make as bold with me For kindness more than this, if more may be. O my Lord this is nothing. Sir, 'tis much. And now i'll leave you sir; I know you're busy. Faith sir a little. I commend me tee Sir. A courteous prince believe it; I am sorry I was no bolder with him; what a phrase He used at parting! I commend me tee. Be hate yfaith; Good master Usher, will you dictate to me, Which is the part precedent of this nightcap, And which posterior? I do ignorare How I should wear it. Why sir; this I take it Is the precedent part; ay, so it is. And is all well sir think you? Passing well. Why sir come on; the Usher shall be judge: See master Usher: this same Fungus here, Your Lords retainer, whom I hope you rule, Would wear this better jerkin for the rushman, When I do play the Broom-man; and speak first. Why sir, I borrowed it, and I will wear it. What sir, in spite of your Lords gentleman, Usher: No spite sir, but you have changed twice already, And now would ha''t again. Why that's all one sir, gentility must be fantastical. I pray thee Fungus let master Pogio wear it. And what shall I wear then? Why here is one, that was a rush-man's jerkin, and I pray, were't not absurd then; a Broom-man should wear it? Foe, there's a reason, I will keep it sir. Will sir; then do your office master Usher, Make him put off his jerkin; you may pluck His coat over his cares, much more his jerkin. Fungus you'd best be ruled. Best sir! I care not. No sir? I hope you are my Lords retainer. I need not care a pudding for your Lord: But spare not, keep it, for perhaps I'll play My part as well in this, as you in that, Well said, master Pogio; my Lord shall know it.
