Indeed I know your glory. Your pride's at full in this authority: But, were it not for modest bashfulness, And that I dread a base contentious name, I would not be a byword to th'Exchange, For every one to say (my self going by) Yond goes a vassal to authority. You would not sir: had I the yard in hand, I'd measure your pate for this delusion, And by my maiden chastity I swear, Unless What unless! I know your wilfulness, These words are but to show the world your humour. I often use to square these parchment pieces Without occasion: I am sure you are not witting The Lawns you lately bought of master Brooks Are new come home, brought by the Merchant's servant: I know you are short membered, but not so short Of your remembrance, that this is news to you. You're best to brave me in a taunting humour. willt please you open the door? where's Ursula? Oh here's good stuff, my back's no sooner turned But she must needs be gadding, and where I pray? she's gone to M. Pawmer's on th'other side. On great occasions, sir, I doubt it not. Kind Dick, thou wilt not be unmindful of my duty To that same worthy Arts-master, Lyonell Barnes. Thy love, sweet Will, hath chained it to my memory. Then with this kind embrace I take my leave, Wishing thou wert as safe arrived at Cambridge, As thou art at this present near the Exchange. And well remembered, kind Will Bennet, others' affairs made me oblivious Of mine own; I pray thee go to the Exchange, I have certain bands, and other linen to buy, Prithee accompany me. With all my heart. Sure, this is a beauteous gallant walk. Were my continual residence in London, I should make much use of such a pleasure: methinks the glorious virgins of this square Gives life to dead struck youth; Oh heavens! Why how now Dick? By my sweet hopes of an hereafter bliss, I never saw a fairer face than this: O for acquaintance with so rich a beauty. Take thy occasion, never hadst thou better. Have at her then. What lack you Gentlemen? Faith nothing, had I thee. For in thine eye all my desires I see. My shop you mean sir, there you may have choice Of Lawns, or cambrics, Ruffs well wrought, Shirts, Fine falling bands of the Italian cutwork, Ruffs for your hands, waistcoats wrought with silk, Nightcaps of gold, or such like wearing linen, Fit for the Chapman of whate'er degree. Faith virgin in my days, I have worn & outworn much, Yea, many of these golden necessaries; But such a gallant beauty, or such a form I never saw, nor never wore the like: Faith be not then unkind, but let me wear This shape of thine, although I buy it dear. What hath the Tailor played his part so well, That with my gown you are so far in love?
