Let every man his humour have, I do at none repine, I never regard whose wench I kiss, nor who doth the like by mine: Th' indifferent minds I hold still best, whatever does befall, For she that will do with me and thee, will be a wench for all; and how goes the squares. Your stay gentleman does wrong to a great many of good stomachs, your suppers expect you. And we our suppers. And from what good exercise come you three. From a play, where we saw most excellent Sampson excel the whole world in gate carrying. Was it performed by the youths. By youths: why I tell thee we saw Sampson, and I hope 'tis not for youths to play Sampson: Believe it we saw Sampson bear the Town gates on his neck, from the lower to the upper stage, with that life and admirable accord, that it shall never be equalled (unless the whole new livery of Porters set their shoulders) Fie fie, 'tis pity young Gentlemen can bestow their time no better, This playing is not lawful, for I cannot find that either plays or players were allowed in the prime Church of Ephesus by the Elders.
