Sir, I accept it so, for I tell ye I am of a mollifying nature, I can strut, and again in kindness, I can suffer a man to break my head, and put it up without anger. I claim that privilege sir, I think I offended you once that way. I love ye then for it sir, yet I cannot remember that ever a Tapster broke my head, yet I call to mind I have broke many Tapster's heads. Not as a Tapster, for I but borrow this habit. The fruit is known by the tree, by gad I knew by your aporn ye were a gentleman, but specially by your flat cap. I call to memory, let us unite with kind embrace. Now well far your hearts, by my truth 'tis joy to a woman, to see men kind, faith you courtiers are mad fellows, you care not in your humours to stab man or woman that stands in your way, but in the end your kindness appears. You can resolve us sir, we hear of great revels to be at Court shortly. At the marriage of Lentulus, and the Orator: very true. Might not a company of Wives be beholding to thee for places that would be there without their husband's knowledge if need were? A moiety of friendship that, i'll place ye where ye shall sit and see all. Sat, nay if there were but good standing, we care not. 'Sfoot Graccus we tarry too long I fear, the hour will over take us, tarry thou and invite the Guests, and I'll go see his course mounted. About it. Whether goes that Gentleman? About a needful trouble: this gentleman Hath at the charges of his charity, Prepared to inter, a friend of his, Though lately entertained a friend of yours. Acquaintance to you all, Philantus: and would desire You would with him accompany his ghost To funeral, which will be presently on his journey. Of his charge, died he not able to purchase a Winding sheet? 'tTwere sin to wrong the dead, you shall hear the inventory of his pocket. Inprimis, A brush and a Comb. o o u.d. Item, a looking Glass. o o i. d.ob. Item, A case of Tobacco Pipes. o o iiij. d. Item, Tobacco half an ounz. o o vj. d Item, in money and gold. o o iij. d Summa totalis. nineteen. d. half penny. What was his suit worth? His suit was cold, because not his own, and the owner caused it to be restored as part of recompense, having lost the principal. What, are they ready: the Corpse is on his journey hitherwards. Tush, two women's tongues give as loud report as a camp royal of double cannons. Tut, tut, thou art welcome, Cornutus is my neighbour, I love him as myself, thou'st a shrew to thy wife, gave her tongue to much string, but let mine Host give thee counsel, he'll teach thee a remedy.
