This forty pound came fortunately to redeem my chain of pearl from mortgage, I would not care how often I swooned to have such a good caudle to comfort me, gold and pearl is very restorative.— See yonder's the rogue I suspect for foul play, i'll walk muffled by him, offer some offence or cause of a quarrel, only to try his temper, if he be a coward, he's the likelier to be a rogue, an infallible note. What a pox ail you sir, would I had been aware of you. Sir, speak you to me? Not I sir, pray keep on your way I have nothing to say to you. You're a rascal. You may, say your pleasure sir,— but I hope I go not like a rascal. Are you▪ fain to fly to your clothes, because y' are Gallant, why there's no rascal, like your Gallant rascal believe that. You have took me at such an hour, faith you may call me e'en what you please, nothing will move me. No, i'll make somewhat move you? draw? I suspected you were a rogue, & you have pursed it up well with a coward? Who my Patron. Keep out you rascal. The guest that did me the kindness in Paul's, Hold as you are a gentleman, you'll give me breath sir. Are you there with me, a vengeance stop you, you have found breath enough to run away from me I will never meet this slave hereafter in a morning but I will breathe myself upon him, since I can have no other satisfaction, he shall save me that forty pound in fence-school. When things are cleanly carried, sign of judgement, I was the welcom'st Gallant to her alive, After the salt was stolen; then a good dinner, A fine provoking meal which drew on apace, The pleasure of a day-bed, and I had it: This here one ring can witness, when I parted, Who but seewte Master Goldstone, I left her in that trance. What cannot wit so it be impudent device and compass? I would fain know that fellow now, That would suspect me but for what I am. He lives not,; 'Tis all in the conveyance, what? Thou look'st not like a beggar, what mak'st thou on the ground, I have a hand to help thee up, a fair chain of pearl, surely a merchants wife gives lucky bandsell; they that find pearl may wear't at a cheap rate, mary my Lady dropped it from her arm for a device to toll me to her bed, I've seen as great a matter— who be these? I'll be to crafty for you, oh monsieur Primero, signor Frip, is it you gallants. Sweet master Goldstone?
