I detest Sir Cutt, I did not think he had been half the quintessence of a he is. 'slid there's not one of them truly emphatical. Yes I'll ensure you Captain, there are many of them truly Emphatical but all your French Ladies are not fat? are they Sir? Fat Sir, why do ye think Emphatical is fat Sir Giles? God's my life brother knight, didst thou think so? heart I know not what it is myself, but yet I never thought it was fat, I'll be sworn to thee. Why if any true Courtly dame had had but this new fashioned suit, to entertain any thing in differently stuffed, why you should have had her more respective by far. Nay there's some reason for that Captain, methinks a true woman should perpetually dote upon a new fashion. Why you're i'th' right Sir Cutt. Innova fert Animus mutatas dicere-formas. 'tis the mind of man, and woman to affect new fashions; but to our Mynsatives for sooth, if he come like to your Besognio, or your boar, so he be rich, or emphatical, they care not; would I might never excel a dutch Skipper in Courtship if I did not put distaste into my carriage of purpose; I knew I should not please them. lackey? alum le torch. 'slid, here's neither Torch, nor lackey methinks. O mon dew. O do not swear Captain. Your Frenchman ever swears Sir Cutt, upon the lack of his lackey I assure you. See here he comes, and my lady's two pages, they have been tickling the vanity on't i'faith. Captain Foulweather, my Lady the Countess Eugenia commends her most kindly to you, and is determined to morrow morning early if it be a frost to take her Coach to Barnet to be nipped where if it please you, to meet her, and accompany her homeward, joining your wit with the frost, and help to nip her, She does not doubt but though you had a sad supper, you will have a joyful breakfast. I shall indeed my dear youth. Why Captain I abused thee, I see: I said the Ladies respected thee not, and now I perceive the widow is in love with thee. 'sblood knight I knew I had struck her to the quick, I wondered she departed in that extravagant fashion: I am sure I passed one Passado of Courtship upon her, that has heretofore made a lane amongst the French Ladies like a culvering shot, I'll be sworn; and I think Sir Gyles you saw how she fell under it. O as clear as candlelight, by this daylight. O good knight a the post, he'll swear any thing. The other two Ladies commend them no less kindly to you two knights too; & desire your worship's wood meet them at Barnet i'th' morning with the Captain. O. good Sir.
