O Sir, beware of one that can shower into the laps of Ladies, Captain Foulweather? why he's a Captinado, or Captain of Captains, and will lie in their joints that give him cause to work upon them so heavily, that he will make their hearts ache I warrant him; Captain Foulweather? why he will make the cold stones sweat for fear of him, a day or two before he come at them. Captain Foulweather? why he does so domineer, and reign over women. A plague of Captain Foulweather I remember him now Jack, and know him to be a dull moist brained Ass. A Southern man I think. As fearful as a Hare, & a will lie like a Lapwing, & I know how he came to be a Captain, & to have his Surname of Commendations. How I prithee Will? Why Sir he served the great Lady Kingcob, and was yeoman of her wardrobe, & because 'a could brush up her silks lustily, she thought he would curry the enemy's coats as soundly, and so by her commendations, he was made Captain in the low Countries. Then being made Captain only by his lady's commendations, without any worth also of his own, he was ever after surnamed Captain Commendations? Right. Ay Sir right, but if he had not said right, my Captain should have taken no wrong at his hands, nor yours neither I can tell ye. What are those two Knights names, that are thy captains Comrades, and within at supper with our Lady? One of their names Sir, is, Sir Gyles Goosecap, the others Sir Cut. Rudseby. Sir Gyles Goosecap what's he a gentleman? I that he is at least if he be not a noble man, and his chief house is in Essex. In Essex? did not his Ancestors come out of London Yes that they did Sir, the best Gosecappes in England, comes out of London I assure you. ay but Sir these must come into it before they come out on't I hope, but what countryman is Sir Cutt. Rudeby? A Northern man, or a Westernman I take him, but my Captain is the Emphatical man; and by that pretty word Emphatical you shall partly know him; for 'tis a very forcible word in troth, & yet he forces it too much by his favour; mary no more than he does all the rest of his words; with whose multiplicity often times he travails himself out of all good company. Like enough; he travailed for nothing else. But what qualities haunt Sir Gyles Goosecap now Sir? Sir Gyles Goosecap has always a deaths head (as it were) in his mouth, for his only one reason for every thing is, because we are all mortal; and therefore he is generally called the mortal knight; then hath he another pretty phrase too, and that is, he will tickle the vanity an't still in every thing and this is your Summa totalis of both their virtues.
