Nay, jest not at me sweet Gentles, I used plain and mannerly dealing, I neither used the brokage of any, as you know who did Leonoro, nor the help of a ladder to creep in at a wench's chamber window (as you know who did Aurelio.) Nor did I case myself in buckram, and cry chimney sweep (where are you uncle?) but I was trained to it by this honest matron here. Meddle not with me sir. I am beholding to her, she was loath to have me lead apes in hell. Look that you keep promise with me Lady, when will thy husband be from home? Not so soon as I would wish him, but whensoever you shall be welcome. I very kindly thank you Lady. God's me, I took you for signor Placentia. 'Sfoot, thou liest in thy throat, thou knewst me as well as myself. What, signor Quintilian, and friend Innocentio? I looked not for you here, & you're much the better welcome. Thanks dad Honorio, and lives my little squire? when shall I see thee at my house lad? A plague a your house, I was there too lately. See Lordings, her's two will not let go till they have your consents to be made surer. By my soul, and because old Gasparo here has been so cold in his love suit, if she be better pleased with Aurelio, and his father with her, heaven give abundance of good with him. So you stand not too much upon goods, I say, Amen. Faith use him as your son and heir, and I desire no more. So will I of mine honour, are you agreed youths? And most humbly gratulate your high favours. Faith & Ioue give 'em joy together for my part. Yet is here another nail to be driven, here's a virtuous Matron, Madam Temperance, that is able to do much good in a commonwealth, a woman of good parts, sells complexion helps maids to services, restores maidenheads, brings women to bed, and men to their bedsides. By my faith, but save votre grace sir. Hath drinks for love, and gives the diet. by’r lady, and that's not amiss for you sir. For me, with a plague tee? No nor for any man that's not sound I mean sir. 'Sfoot masters these be good parts in the old wench, wilt thou have her Lieutenant? she'll be a good stay to the rest of thy living, the gallants will all honour thee at thy house I warrant thee. Fore God Captain I care not if I have. Well young Gentleman, perhaps it should not be the worst for you. Why la, thy virtues have owned her at first sight, she shall not come to thee empty, for I'll promise thee that I'll make her able to bid any Gentleman welcome to a piece of mutton and rabbit at all times. by’r lady, a good ordinary. though't visit sometimes Dad. That I will i'faith boy in authority wise. Why then strike hands, and if the rest be pleased, Let all hands strike as these have struck afore, And with round Echoes make the welkin roar.
