No you're deceived my mother gave that sir. what's thy mothers, is thy fathers; I'm sorry it holds in the Ramshead, see here he walks, I was sure he came into Paul's, the gold had been yours master long ere this, but that he wears both his hands in his pockets: How unfortunately is my purpose seated, what the devil should come in his mind to keep in his hands so long, the biting but of a paltry louse would do me great kindness now, I knew not how to requite it, will no rascal creature assist me, stay, what if I did impudently salute 'em out, good, boy be ready boy. upon the least advantage sir? You're most devoutly met in Paul's sir? So are you, but I scarce remember you sir. Oh I cry you mercy sir, I pray pardon me I fear I have tendered an offence sir, troth I took you at the first for one master Dumplin a Norfolk gentleman. there's no harm done yet sir? I hope he is there by this time, how now boy, hast it? No by troth have I not, this labours lost, 'tis in the right pocket, and he kept that hand in sure enough. unpractised Gallant, salute me but with one hand, like a counterfeit soldier, O times and manners? are we grown beasts, do we salute by halves, are not our limbs at leisure, where's comely nurture, the Italian kiss, or the French cringe, with the Polonian waste: are all forgot, than misery follows— Surely fate forbade it, had he employed but his right hand, I'd had it:— It must be an everlasting device I think, that procures both his hands out at once: do you walk sir. No I stay a little for a Gentleman's coming too. Farewell then sir, I have forty pound in gold about me, which I must presently send down into the country. Fare you well sir: I wonder Master Goldstone spares my company so long, 'tis now about the navel of the day, upon the belly of noon. See where he walks, be sure you let off at a twinkling now. When did I miss you,— your worship has forgot, you promised Mistress Newcut your cousin, to dine with her this day. Mass that was well remembered. I am bold to salute you sir. Sir. Is Mistress Newcut your cousin sir. Yes, she's a cousin of mine sir. Then I am a cousin of yours, by the sister's side. Let me salute you then, I shall be glad of your farther acquaintance. I am a bidden guest here too. Indeed sir? Faith invited this morning. Your good company, shall be kindly embraced sir. I walk a turn or two here for a Gentleman, but I think he'll either overtake me, or be before me. 'tis very likely sir; there sirrah, go to dinner, & about two wait for me?
