What a Barbarian it is to stay then! Yonder he comes. And his charge left behind him, which is a very good sign, Dauphine. How now Cutberd, succeeds it, or no? Past imagination, Sir, omnia secunda; you could not have prayed, to have had it so well: Saltat senex, as it is i'the Proverb, he does triumph in his felicity; admires the party! he has given me the Lease of my House too! and, I am now going for a silent Minister to marry 'em, and away. 'slight, get one o' the silenced Ministers, a zealous Brother would torment him purely. Cum privilegio, Sir. O, by no means, let's do nothing to hinder it now when 'tis done and finished, I am for you: for any device of vexation. And that shall be within this half hour, upon my dexterity, Gentlemen. Contrive what you can, in the mean time, bonis avibus. How the Slave doth Latin it! It would be made a jest to Posterity, Sirs, this day's mirth, if ye will. Be shrew his heart that will not, I pronounce. And, for my part. What is't? To translate all La-Fooles company, and his Feast hither, today, to celebrate this Bride-ale. I marry, but how will't be done? I'll undertake the directing of all the lady-guests thither, and then the meat must follow. For God's sake, let's effect it: it will be an excellent Comedy of affliction, so many several noises. But are they not at the other place already, think you? I'll warrant you for the College-honours: one o' their faces has not the priming colour laid on yet, nor the other her Smock sleeked. O, but they'll rise earlier than ordinary, to a Feast. Best go see, and assure ourselves. Who knows the House? I'll lead you, were you never there yet? Not I. Nor I. Where ha' you lived then? not know Tom Otter! No: for God's sake, what is he? An excellent Animal, equal with your Daw, or La-Foole, if not transcendent; and does Latin it as much as your Barber: he is his wife's Subject, he calls her Princess, and at such times as these, follows her up and down the House like a Page, with his Hat off, partly for heat, partly for reverence. At this instant, he is marshalling of his Bull, Bear, and Horse. What be those, in the name of Sphinx? Why Sir? he has been a great man at the bear-garden in his time: and from that subtle sport, has ta'en the witty denomination of his chief carousing Cups. One he calls his Bull, another his Bear, another his Horse. And then he has his lesser Glasses, that he calls his deer, and his Ape; and several degrees of 'em too: and never is well, nor thinks any entertainment perfect, till these be brought out, and set o' the Cupboard. For God's love! we should miss this, if we should not go. Nay, he has a thousand things as good, that will speak him all day. He will rail on his Wife, with certain common places, behind her back; and to her face—

What a Barbarian it is to ſtay then! Yonder he comes. And his charge left behinde him, which is a verie good ſigne, Dauphine. How now Cutberd, ſucceeds it, or no? Paſt imagination, Sir, omnia ſecunda; you could not haue pray'd, to haue had it ſo well: Saltat ſenex, as it is i'the Prouerbe, hee do's triumph in his felicity; admires the party! hee has giuen mee the Leaſe of my Houſe too! and, I am now going for a ſilent Miniſter to marry 'hem, and away. Slight, get one o' the ſilenc'd Miniſters, a zealous Brother would torment him purely. Cum priuilegio, Sir. O, by no meanes, let's doe nothing to hinder it now when 'tis done and finiſhed, I am for you: for any deuiſe of vexation. And that ſhall be within this halfe houre, vpon my dexteritie, Gentlemen. Contriue what you can, in the meane time, bonis auibus. How the Slaue doth Latine it! It would be made a Ieſt to Poſteritie, Sirs, this daies mirth, if ye will. Be ſhrew his heart that will not, I pronounce. And, for my part. What is't? To tranſlate all La-Fooles company, and his Feaſt hether, to day, to celebrate this Bride-ale. I marry, but how will't be done? I'll vndertake the directing of all the Ladie-Gueſts thether, and then the meat muſt follow. For Gods ſake, let's effect it: it will be an excellent Comoedy of affliction, ſo many ſeuerall noyſes. But are they not at the other place already, thinke you? I'll warrant you for the Colledge-honours: one o' their faces has not the priming colour laid on yet, nor the other her Smocke ſleek'd. O, but they'll riſe earlier then ordinary, to a Feaſt. Beſt goe ſee, and aſſure our ſelues. Who knowes the Houſe? I'll lead you, were you neuer there yet? Not I. Nor I. Where ha' you liu'd then? not know Tom Otter! No: for Gods ſake, what is he? An excellent Animal, equall with your Daw, or La-Foole, if not tranſcendent; and do's Latine it as much as your Barber: he is his Wifes Subiect, hee calls her Princeſſe, and at ſuch times as theſe, followes her vp and downe the Houſe like a Page, with his Hat off, partly for heate, partly for reuerence. At this inſtant, he is marſhalling of his Bull, Beare, and Horſe. What be thoſe, in the name of Sphinx? Why Sir? hee has beene a great man at the Beare-Garden in his time: and from that ſubtle ſport, has tane the witty denomination of his chiefe carouſing Cups. One he calls his Bull, another his Beare, another his Horſe. And then he has his leſſer Glaſſes, that he calls his Deere, and his Ape; and ſeuerall degrees of 'hem too: and neuer is well, nor thinkes any entertaynment perfect, till theſe be brought out, and ſet o' the Cupbord. For Gods loue! wee ſhould miſſe this, if wee ſhould not goe. Nay, hee has a thouſand things as good, that will ſpeake him all day.
