Well, come in my Lords, and take a bad dinner with me now, and we will all go with you at night to a better supper with the Lord, and Lady Furnifall. We attend you honourable Ladies. Bullaker. I Sir. Ride and catch the captains horse. So I do Sir. I wonder Sir Gyles you wood let him go so, and not ride after him. Wood I might never be mortal Sir Cutt: if I rid not after him, till my horse sweat, so that he had near a dry thread on him, & holloa'd & holloa'd to him to stay him, till I had thought my finger's ends wood have gone off with hollowings; I'll be sworn to ye & yet he ran his way like a Diogenes, and would never stay for us. How shall we do to get the lame Captain to London, now his horse is gone? Why he is but a lame jade neither Sir Meyle, we shall soon o'ertake him I warrant ye. And yet thou sayst thou gallop'st after him as fast as thou couldst, and couldst not Catch him; I lay my life some crabfish has bitten thee by the tongue, thou speakest so backward still. But here's all the doubt Sir Cutt: if nobody should catch him now, when he comes at London, some boy or other wood get up on him and ride him hot into the water to wash him; I'll be sworn I followed one that rid my horse into the Thames, till I was up tooth knees hitherto; and if it had not been for fear of going over shoes, because I am troubled with the rheum, I wood have taught him to wash my horse when he was hot yfath; how now sweet Captain dost feel any ease in thy pain yet? Ease in his pain quoth you, has good luck if he feel ease in pain I think, but wood any ass in the world ride down such a hill as Highgate is, in such a frost as this, and never light God's precious Sir Cut. your Frenchman never lights I tell ye. Light Sir Cutt, Slight and I had my horse again, there's near a paltry English frost anthem all should make me light. Go too you French Zanies you, you will follow the french steps so long, till you be notable to set one Sound Step o'th' ground all the days of your life. Why Sir Cut I care not if I be not sound so I be well but we were justly plagued, by this hill for following women thus. I and English women too sir Giles. Thou art still prating against English women I have seen none of the French dames I confess, but your greatest gallants for men in France, were here lately I am sure, and methinks there should be no more difference betwixt our Ladies and theirs, than there is betwixt our Lords and theirs, and our Lords are as far beyond them i'faith, for person, and Courtship, as they are beyond ours for phantasticality.
