Honest, and kind, come, we have delayed too long, Nephew take comfort; a Just cause is strong. That's all my comfort Uncle, ha, ha, ha. Now may events fall luckily, and well, He that near strives, says wit shall near excel. When did I say my prayers? In Anno 88. when the great Armado was coming, and In Anno. 99. when the great Thundering and Lighting was I prayed heartily then i'faith, to overthrow Poouyes new buildings, I kneeled by my great iron chest I remember. Master Dampit, one may hear you, before they see you, you keep sweet hours Master Dampit, we were all a-bed 3 hours ago. Audry. Oh you're a fine Gentleman. So I am i'faith, and a fine Scholar, do you use to go to bed Bed, so early Audry? Call you this early Master Dampit. Why is't not one of Clock i'th' morning is not that early enough? fetch me a glass of fresh-beer. Here, I have warmed your Nightcap for you master Dampit. Draw it on then— I am very weak truly, I have not eaten so much as the bulk of an Egg these 3. days. You have drunk the more Master Dampit, What's that? You mought, and you would Master Dampit. I answer you I cannot, hold your prating, you prat too much, and understand too little, are you answered,— give me a glass of bear. May I ask you how you do Master Dampit? How do I? i'faith nought. I near knew you do otherwise, I eat not one pen'orth of bread these 2. years, give me a glass of fresh beer,— I am not sick, nor I am not well.— Take this warm napkin about your neck sir, whilst I help to make you unready. How now Audrie-prater, with your scurvy devices, what say you now? What say I Master Dampit? I say nothing but that you are very weak, Faith thou hast more coney catching devices then all London? Why Master Dampit I never deceived you in all my life? Why was that? because I never did trust thee. I care not what you say Master Dampit? Hold thy prating, I answer thee, thou art a beggar, a quean, and a bawd: are you answered. Fie Master Dampit, a Gentleman and have such words. Why thou base drudge of infortunity, thou kitchen-stuff drab of Beggary, Roguery & coxcombry, thou Cavern-fed quean of foolery, knavery and bawdreaminy, i'll tell thee what, I will not give a louse for thy fortunes: No, master Dampit, and there's a Gentleman comes a-wooing to me, and he doubts nothing but that you will get me from him: ay, if I would either have thee or lie with thee for two thousand pound, would I might be damned, why thou base impudent quean of foolery, flattery, and coxcombry, are you answered? Come will you rise and go to bed sir? Rise, and go to bed too Audry? how does mistress Proserpine? Fooh—
