O Lord Sir, I devour you quick; and now Sir I beseech you open unto me your other Lady, what is she? I'll answer for her, because I know her Ladyship to be a perfect maid indeed. How canst thou know that? Passing perfectly I warrant ye. By measuring her neck twice, and trying if it will come about her forehead, and slip over her nose? No Sir no, by a rule that will not slip so I warrant you, which for her honour's sake I will let slip unto you, gods so Iack, I think they have supped. by'r Lady we have waited well the while. Well though they have lost their attendance, let not us lose our Suppers Iack. I do not mean it, come Sir you shall go in and drink with us i'faith. Pardonne moy monsieur. o pardoning in trueth Sir, je vous remercy de-bon Ceur. A plague on you sweet Ladies, 'tis not so late, what needed you to have made so short a supper. In truth Sir Cutt. we might have tickled the vanity an't, an hour longer if my watch be trustable. ay but how should these beauties know that Sir Gyles? your watch is mortal, and may err. sooth Captain, but do you hear honest friend, pray take a light, and see if the moon shine, I have a Sun dial will resolve presently. Howsoever believe it Ladies, 'tis unwholesome, uncourtly, unpleasant to eat hastily, & rise suddenly, a man can show no discourse, no wit, no stirring, no variety, no pretty conceits, to make the meat go down emphatically? Wifred. Madam. I prithee go to my uncle the Lord Momford, and entreat him to come quicken our ears with some of his pleasant Spirit; This same Fowleweather has made me so melancholy, prithee make haste. I will madam. We will bid our guests good night madam, this same Foulweather makes me so sleepy. Fie upon it, for God's sake shut the Casements, here's such a fulsome air comes into this chamber; in good faith madame you must keep your house in better reparations, this same Foulweather beats in so filthily. I'll take order with the Porter for it Lady, good night gentlemen. Why good night & be hanged, & you'll needs be gone. God give you good night madams, thank you for my good cheer, we'll tickle the vanity an't, no longer with you at this time, but I'll indite your La: to supper at my lodging one of these mornings; and that ere long too, because we are all mortal you know. Light the Lady Penelope, and the Lady Hippolita to their chambers, good night fair Ladies. Good night madam, I wish you may sleep well after your light supper. I warrant you Lady I shall never be troubled with dreaming of my French Suitor.
