'sfoot that will serve till my Grandsire dies I warrant you, he'll drop away at fall a'th' leaf, if ever he reach to all Hollantide i'll be hanged. O yes son, he's a lusty old gentleman. Ah pox, he's given to women; he keeps a quean at this present. Fie. Do not tell my wife on't. That were needless i'faith.

Between our hopes there's but a grandsire's puff. So girl, here was a bird well caught. If ever, here: but what for'rs Grandsire, 'twill scarce please him well. Who covets fruit, near cares from whence it fell, Thou'st wedded youth and strength, and wealth will fall: Last thou'rt made honest. And that's worth 'em all. Have a care blue-coats; bestir yourself Master Gumwater, cast an eye intoth' kitchen, o'erlook the knaves a little, every lack has his friend today, this cousen and that cousen puts in for a dish of meat, a man knows not till he make a feast how many varlets he feeds, acquaintances swarm in every corner, like flies at Bartholmew-tide that come up with drovers, 'sfoot I think they smell my kitchen seven mile about master Shortrod and his sweet bedfellow, you're very copiously welcome. Sir, here's an especial dear friend of ours, we were bold to make his way to your table. Thanks for that boldness ever, good Master Shortrod, is this your friend sir? Both my wife's friend and mine sir. Why then compendiously sir,— you're welcome. In Octavo I thank you sir.
