The trick of the rope were excellent in him, & that i'll teach him if I miss not my mark: come Gallants, we waste time, the first Tavern we arrive at, we'll see the race of an hourglass. Can ye a part in a Song? Very tolerably. we'll have a catch then, if with sol, sol, la: Gentlemen, have you any good herb? you have match boy, Your pipe shall want no fire sir. Oh without ceremony: now Graccus, if we can but pawn their senses in Sack and Sugar, let me alone to pursue the sequel. Fellow it, away. Come, come, bring them out of the air: alas good hearts, what rogorous villain would commit with him? i'll tell ye Gosip, he's e'en as kind an animal, he would not wrong them i'faith. Tush, fear nothing woman, I hope to make him so again: alack, alack, how fell you out, all at head? oh Butcher! are ye hurt in another place? Did he not throw you against the stones? If he did, do not conceal, I dare say you gave them not a foul word. By the illuminate welkin not a word till my mouth was full of blood, and so made my words foul. Is not this Gentleman hurt to? Only the extravagant Artery of my arm is bruised. See, see, the extravagant of his arm is bruised to, alas how could ye quarrel so? I will demonstrate, in defence of the generous youth, I did appugne, my adverse let violently fly. Ah good hearts! would I had stood between you when he let fly so violently. We void of hostile arms. I, if they had had horses, they had saved their arms. Be capable, I mean, void of armory. Until ye had had armour on. Had I been accompanied with my Toledo, or morglay— I, your Dog or Bitch: Continue I beseech, I mean my sword, sole lie my sword: Or solely your sword, better a bad tool than none at all. In the concourse. Nay, the concourse will light on him for it I warrant. I, for the tuition of my Capital, did mount my Semisphere three degrees, that as a strong & stony guard did defend my Capital. 'twas well ye kept him out, for if he had entered on your stony Guard, he would have spoiled your Capital. In fine being mortally assailed, he did preambulate or walk off. Yes faith, he did preambulate, and walk me finely. Good hearts, how many were there of them? About the number of seven. I there was seven. Or eight. Or eight. Rather more. I more at least I warrant ye. A lass ye cannot choose but be more hurt, but i'll search you thoroughly be assured. And if she cannot help ye, few can, she knows what belongs to a Tent or a bruise, and experience is good in those cases. I have a concupiscent form of trust in your skill, it will malladise. I fear not, put both your concupiscences in me for that matter.

Can ye a part in a Song? Verie tollerably. Weele haue a catch then, if with ſol, ſol, la: Gentlemen, haue you any good herbe? you haue match boy, Your pipe ſhall want no fire ſir. Oh without ceremony: now Graccus, if we can but pawne their ſences in Sacke and Sugar, let mee alone to purſue the ſequell. Follow it, away. Come, come, bring them out of the ayre: alas good hearts, what rogorous villaine would commit with him? ile tell ye Goſip, hee's eene as kinde an animall, he would not wrong them yfaith. Tuſh, feare nothing woman, I hope to make him ſo againe: alacke, alacke, how fell you out, all at head? oh Butcher! are ye hurt in another place? Did he not throw you againſt the ſtones?
