Let me seeet, and thou shalt see what I'll say to thee. Well, follow my counsel and I'll warrant thee, I'll give thee a love powder for thy wench, And a kind of Nux vomica in a potion, shall make her come off i'faith. Shall I trouble you so far to take some pains with me? I am loath to have the dodge; Tush fear not the dodge; I'll rather put on my flashing red nose, and my flaming face, and come wrapped in a calf skin and cry bo ho: I'll fray the Scholar I warrant thee. But first go to her, try what thou canst do, Perhaps she'll love thee without any further ado, But thou must tell her, thou hast a good stock, some 100. or 200. a year, & that will set her hard I warrant thee. For byth' Mass, I was once in good comfort to have cozened a Wench: And wots thou what I told her? I told her I had a hundred pound land a year, in a place where I have not the breadth of my little finger. I promised her to enfeoff her in 40. pounds a year of it: & I think of my conscience, if I had had but as good a face as thine, I should have made her have cursed the time that ever she see me. And thus must thou do, crack, and lie, and face, And thou shalt triumph mightily. I need not do so, for I may say and say true, I have lands and living enough for a country fellow. by’r lady so had not I, I was feign to overreach as many times I do. But now experience has taught me so much craft, that I excel in cunning. Well Sir, then I'll be bold to trust your cunning, And so I'll bid you farewell and go forward, I'll too her, that's flat. Do so: and let me hear how you speed. That I will Sir. Well, a good beginning makes a good end, here's ten groats for doing nothing, Icon M. Churmes thanks for this, For this was his device: And therefore I'll go seek him out, and give him a quart of wine, And know of him how he deals with the scholar. Why? look you Sir, by the Lord I can but wonder at her Father, He knows you to be a Gentleman of good bringing up: And though your wealth be not answerable to h ▪ Yet by heavens I think you are worthy to do far bet- than Lelia, yet I know she loves you dearly. The great Tartarian Emperor Tamor Cham, joyed not so much in his imperial Crown, As Sophos joys in Lelia's hoped-for love, Whose looks would pierce an Adamantine heart, And make the proud beholders stand at gaze, To draw loves picture from her glancing eye.
