Are there such? I Sir. And Gallants, yet. Here's a young Gentleman, Is borne to nothing, forty marks a year, Which I count nothing. he's to be initiated, And have a Fly o'the Doctor. He will win you By unresistible luck, within this fortnight, Enough to buy a Baronry. They will set him Upmost, at the Groom-porters, all the Christmas. And, for the whole year through, at every place, Where there is play, present him with the Chair, The best attendance, the best drink, sometimes Two glasses of Canary, and pay nothing; The purest linen, and the sharpest knife, The Partridge next his trencher: and, somewhere, The dainty bed, in private, with the Dainty. You shall ha'your Ordinaries bid for him, As Playhouses for a ` Poet;; and the Master Pray him, aloud, to name what Dish he affects, Which must be buttered Shrimps: and those, that drink To no mouth else, will drink to his, as being The goodly President-Mouth of all the board. Do you not gull one? God's my life! Do you think it? You shall have a cast Commander, can but get In credit with a Glover, or a Spurrier, For some two pair, of either's ware, aforehand, Will, by most swift posts, dealing with him, Arrive at competent means, to keep himself, His Punk, and naked Boy, in excellent fashion. And be admired for't. Will the Doctor teach this? He will do more, Sir, when your Land is gone, (As men of Spirit hate to keep earth long) In a Vacation, when small money is stirring, And Ordinaries suspended till the Term, he'll show a Perspective, where on one side You shall behold the faces, and the persons Of all sufficient young Heirs, in town, Whose bonds are currant for commodity; On th'other side, the Merchant's forms, and others, That, without help of any second Broker, (Who would expect a share) will trust such parcels: In the third square, the very street, and sign Where the Commodity dwells, and does but wait To be delivered, be it Pepper, Soap, Hopps, or Tobacco, Otemeale, Woad, or Cheeses. All which you may so handle, to enjoy, To your own use, and never stand obliged. I faith! Is he such a fellow? Why, Nab here knows him. And then for making matches, for rich Widows, Young Gentlewomen, Heirs, the fortunat'st Man! he's sent too far, and near, all over England To have his counsel, and to know their Fortunes. God's will, my Sister shall see him. I'll tell you, Sir, What he did tell me of Nab. It's a strange thing, (By the way you must eat no Cheese, Nab, it breeds Melancholy: And that same Melancholy breeds worms) but pass it, He told me honest Nab, here, was ne'er at Tavern, But once in's life. Truth, and no more I was not. And, than he was so sick— Could he tell you that, too? How should I know it?
