ay, for france Spain and England, and such neighbour countries, why I have been as far as Winchester myself. Indeed 'tis true, some of ye Travail so far abroad as ye come short home many times. I have heard ye are all Gentlemen. Indeed I must confess Lady, we have few beggars, and those we have, we reward according, for if he be a lusty Knave, we give him a lawyer's alms, tell him of the stature: if a poor and decrepit fellow, we give him a citizen's wives charity, cry God help him, God help him. By your leave Master Newcome, methinks you have a pretty lace on your band A pretty slight court lace, all show, all show. What's this, a shirt that ye wear? else 'tis a mock-beggar with strips. No, 'tis a shirt Lady. What, did you make this Doublet new, or else ye new made it? Yes I made it new Lady? Believe me sir but the livings are old. Fie, they are greasy. I think they are something sweaty indeed with hunting. Hunting: why a man need not hunt far for game, what's this? O, a salamader Lady, 'tis a salamader bred with the continual heat of sweating— What's your breech made all of one stuff Master Newcome? Pray why do you ask? Because methinks the soil change's hear behind ay, and so doth the air as well as the soil I warrant ye. What are these hose made of the newest fashion ye have at Court? Faith Lady for mine own part I am no man's Ape, this is my fashion, and sometimes I stand in the presence with my cloak lined through, either with velvet or with Taffeta, if with Velvet, I let him hang on my shoulder, making the greatest show, carry my hat here. Now by the soul of chastity I swear, a is a proper man. If any man pass by and salute me, I salute him again, but if any Lady or Gentlewoman glide through the presence, and cast her eye on me, as commonly they use to do on men, that makes any show or glister as I always do. Ye! always making glisters, I hold my life he is a Pothecary, do you never make no suppositors sir? I keep my place of standing, carry my body stiff and upright, blush not, am impudent enough, when perchance the heat of the Lady's affection makes her take a place of standing, either against the hangings or one of the bay windows, and therewith a greedy eye feeds on my exteriors, which perceiving, I draw to her, kiss my hand, & accost her thus. I pray accost her anon sir, and let's stand close and trouble not true jealousy in the picture of Hieronimo, in a little volume. See, see how a looks, do you not perceive his heart beat hither? ay, for all the world like the Denmark Drummer. Peace, hear what a says.
