This shall be a great whale mistress, at all his bigness spouting huge hills of salt-water afore him, like a little water squirt, but you shall not need to fear him mistress, for he shallbe silk and gold, he shall do you no harm, and he be near so lively. Thank you good servant. Do not think Lady, but he had need tell you this aforehand for a mine honour, he wrought me the monster Caucasus so lively, that at the first sight I started at it. The monster Caucasus my Lord? Caucasus is a mountain; Cacus you mean. Cacus indeed my Lord, cry you mercy. Here i'll take out your eye, and you will mistress. No by my faith Servant 'tis better in Why Lady, I'll but take it out in jest, in earnest. No, something else there, good servant. Why then here shall be a Camel, and he shall have horns, and he shall look (for all the world) like a maid without a husband. O bitter sir Giles. Nay he has a dry wit Lady I can tell ye. He bobbed me there indeed my Lord. Marry him sweet Lady, to answer his bitter bob. So she may answer him with horns indeed. See what a pretty work he wears in his boot hose. Did you work them yourself sir Gyles, or buy them? I bought am for nothing madam in th'exchange Bought am for nothing. Indeed madam in th'exchange they so honour him for his work that they will take nothing for any thing he buys on am; but where's the rich nightcap you wrought cozen? if it had not been too little for you, it was the best piece of work, that ever I saw. Why my Lord, 'twas bog enough, when I wrought it, for I wore pantables than you know. Indeed the warmer a man keeps his feet the less he needs wear upon his head. You speak for your kinsman the best, that ever I heard my Lord. But I believe madam, my Lord my cozen has not told you all my good parts. I told him so I warrant you cozen. What do you think he left out Sir Giles? Marry madam I can take tobacco now, and I have bought glow-worms to kindle it withal, better than all the burning glasses i'th' world. Glowworms sir Giles will they make it burn? O odd madam I feed am with nothing but fire, a purpose, I'll be sworn they eat me five faggots a week in charcoal. Nay he has the strangest devices Ladies that ever you heard I warrant ye. That's a strange device in deed my Lord. But your sowing sir Gyles is a more gentlewomanlike quality I assure you. O far away, for now servant, you need never marry, you are both husband, and wife yourself. Nay indeed mistress I wood fain marry for all that, and i'll tell you my reason, if you will.
