Faith he compounded with a couple of Napkins at Barnet, and so truss up the lower parts. 'twas a pretty shift i'faith. But master Lethe has forgot that too. A mischief on't to lose all: I could— Nay but good Ma Esay, do not do yourself that tyranny I beseech you, I must not ha' you alter your body now for the Purge of a little money: you undo me and you do. 'twas all I brought up with me, I protest master Blastfield, all my rent till next quarter. Pox of money, talk not on't I beseech you, what said I to you? Mass I am out of cash myself too,— Boy. Anon sir. Run presently to master Gum the Mercer, and will him to tell out two or three hundred pound for me, or more according as he is furnished: I'll visit him i'th' morning say. It shall be said sir. Do you hear boy? Yes sir. If master Gum be not sufficiently ready, call upon master Profit the Goldsmith. It shall be done sir. Boy. I know I was not sent yet now is the time. Let them both rest till another occasion: you shall not need to run so far at this time, take one nigher hand go to Ma. Quomodo the Draper, and will him to furnish me instantly. Now I go sir. It seems you're well known master Blastfield, and your credit very spacious here i'th' City. Master Esay, let a man bear himself portly, the whoresons will creep to him a'th' their bellies, and their wives a'th' their backs: there's a kind of bold grace expected throughout all the parts of a Gentleman: then for your observances, a man must not so much as spit but within line and fashion. I tell you what I ha' done: sometimes I carry my water all London over, only to deliver it proudly at the Standard, and do I pass altogether unnoted think you? No, a man can no sooner peep out his head, but there's a bow bent at him out of some watch tower, or other. So readily sir. Push, you know a bow's quickly ready, though a Gun belong a charging, and will shoot five times to his once, Come, you shall bear yourself jovially: take heed of setting your looks to your losses, but rather smile upon your ill luck, and invite 'em tomorrow to another breakfast of Bones. Nay i'll forswear dicing. What? peace? I am ashamed to hear you: will you cease in the first loss, show me one Gentleman that ere did it? Fie upon't I must use you to company I perceive, you'd be spoiled else: forswear Dice? I would your friends heard you i'faith.
