will you not resolve me brother? Of what? So, there's veny for veny, I have given't him i'th' place speeding for all his confidence. Well out of this perhaps there may be moulded matter of more mirth, than my baffling. It shall go hard but I'll make my constant sister act as famous a Scene as Virgil did his Mistress; who caused all the Fire in Rome to fail so; that none could light a torch but at her nose. Now forth: At this house dwells a virtuous Dame, sometimes of worthy Fame, now like a decayed Merchant turned Broker, and retails refuse commodities for unthrifty Gallants. Her wit I must employ upon this business to prepare my next encounter, but in such a fashion as shall make all split. Ho? Madam Arsace? pray heaven the Oyster-wives have not brought the news of my wooing hither amongst their stale pilchards. WHat? my Lord of the Palace? Look you. Why, this was done like a beaten Soldier. Hark, I must speak with you. I have a share for you in this rich adventure. You must be the Ass charged with Crowns to make way to the Fort, and I the Conqueror to follow, and seize it. Seest thou this jewel? Is't come to that? why Tomasin. Madam. Did not one of the countess's serving-men tell us that this Gentleman was sped? That he did, and how her honour graced and entertained him in very familiar manner. And brought him down stairs herself. I forsooth, and commanded her men to bear him out of doors. 'slight, pelted with rotten eggs? Nay more, that he had already possessed her sheets. No indeed Mistress, 'twas her blankets. Out you young hedge-sparrow, learn to tread afore you be fledge. Well have you done now Lady. O my sweet kilbuck. You now, in your shallow pate, think this a disgrace to me, such a disgrace as is a battered helmet on a soldiers head, it doubles his resolution. Say, shall I use thee? Use me? O holy reformation! how art thou fallen down from the upper-bodies of the Church to the skirts of the City! honesty is stripped out of his true substance into verbal nicety. Common sinners startle at common terms, and they that by whole mountains swallow down the deeds of darkness; A poor mote of a familiar word, makes them turn up the white o'th' eye. Thou art the Lady's Tenant. For term Sir. A good induction, be successful for me, make me Lord of the Palace, and thou shalt hold thy Tenement to thee and thine ears for ever, in free smockage, as of the manner of Panderage, provided always. Nay if you take me unprovided. Provided I say, that thou mak'st thy repair to her presently with a plot I will instruct thee in; and for thy surer access to her greatness, thou shalt present her, as from thyself with this jewel.

Wil you not resolue me brother? Of what? So, there's venie for venie, I haue giuen't him 'ith place speeding for all his confidence. Well out of this perhaps there may bee moulded matter of more mirth, then my baffling. It shall goe hard but Ile make my constant sister act as famous a Scene as Virgil did his Mistris; who caus'd all the Fire in Rome to faile so; that none could light a torch but at her nose. Nowforth: At this house dwells a vertuous Dame, sometimes of worthy Fame, now like a decai'd Merchant turn'd Broker, and retailes refuse commodities for vnthriftie Gallants. Her wit I must imploy vpon this businesse to prepare my next encounter, but in such a fashion as shall make all split. Ho? Madam Arsace? pray heauen the Oister-wiues haue not brought the newes of my woing hether amongst their stale Pilcherds. WHat? my Lord of the Palace? Looke you. Why, this was done like a beaten Souldier. Hearke, I must speake with you. I haue a share for you in this riche aduenture. You must bee the Asse chardg'd with Crownes to make way to the Fort, and I the Conquerour to follow, and seise it. Seest thou this iewell? Is't come to that? why Tomasin. Madam. Did not one of the Countesses Seruing-men tell vs that this Gentleman was sped? That he did, and how her honour grac't and entertained him in very familiar manner. And brought him downe staires her selfe. I forsooth, and commanded her men to beare him out of dores. Slight, pelted with rotten egges? Nay more, that he had alreadie possest her sheetes. No indeede Mistris, twas her blanquets. Out you yong hedge-sparrow, learne to tread afore you be fledge. Well haue you done now Ladie. O my sweet kilbuck. You now, in your shallow pate, thinke this a disgrace to mee, such a disgrace as is a batterd helmet on a souldiers head, it doubles his resolution. Say, shall I vse thee? Vse me? O holy reformation! how art thou fallen downe from the vpper-bodies of the Church to the skirts of the Citie! honestie is stript out of his true substance into verball nicetie. Common sinners startle at common termes, and they that by whole mountaines swallow downe the deedes of darknesse; A poore mote of a familiar word, makes them turne vp the white o'th eie. Thou art the Ladies Tennant. For terme Sir. A good induction, be successefull for me, make me Lord of the Palace, and thou shalt hold thy Tenement to thee and thine eares for euer, in free smockage, as of the manner of Panderage, prouided alwaies. Nay if you take me vnprouided. Prouided I say, that thou mak'st thy repaire to her presently with a plot I will instruct thee in; and for thy surer accesse to her greatnesse, thou shalt present her, as from thy selfe with this iewell.
