Why how now my Frenchified captain Foulweather? by God's ludd thy Surname is never thought upon here, I perceive here's nobody gives thee any commendations. Why this is the untraveled rudeness of our gross English Ladies now; would any French Lady use a man thus think ye? be they any way so uncivil, and fulsome? they say they wear foul smocks, and course smocks, I say they lie, and I will die in't. ay, do so, pray thee, thou shalt die in a very honourable cause, thy countries general quarrel right. Their smocks quoth you? a my word you shall take them up so white, and so pure, so sweet, so Emphatical, so moving. I marry Sir, I think they be continually moving. But if their smocks were Course or foul. Nay I warrant thee thou carest not, so thou were: at them. 'Sdeath they put not all their virtues in their smocks, or in their mocks, or in their stew de cocks as our Ladies do. But in their stewed pox, there's all their gentility. Nay good Sir Cutt. do not aggravate him no more. Then are they so kind, so wise, so familiar so noble, so sweet in entertainment, that when you shall, have cause to discourse or sometimes to come nearer! them; if your breath be ill, your teeth ill, or any thing about you ill why they will presently break with ye, in kind sort, good terms, pretty experiments, and tell you plain this; thus it is with your breath Sir, thus it is with your teeth Sir, this is your disease, and this is your medicine. As I am true mortal Knight, it is most superlatively good, this. Why this is Courtly now, this is sweet, this plain, this is familiar, but by the Court of France, our peevish dames are so proud, so precise, so coy, so disdainful, and so subtle, as the Pomonean Serpent, mort dieu the Punk of Babylon was never so subtle. Nay do not chafe so Captain. Your Frenchman wood ever chase Sir Cutt, being thus moved. What? and play with his beard so. I and bristle, it doth express that passion of anger very full and emphatical. Nay good knight if your French wood bristle, let him alone, in troth our Ladies are a little too coy and subtle Captain indeed. Subtle Sir Giles Goosecap? I assure your Soul, they are as subtle with their suitors, or loves, as the Latin Dialect where the nominative Case, and the verb, the Substantive, and the Adjective, the verb, and the verb, stand as far asunder, as if they were perfect strangers one to another; and you shall hardly find them out, but then learn to Construe, and pierce them, and you shall find them prepared, and acquainted, & agree together, in Case, gender, and number.
