O, here are some o' the Gallants! Go to, behave yourself distinctly, and with good morality; Or, I protest, I'll take away your exhibition. BY your leave, fair Mistress Otter, I'll be bold to enter these Gentlemen in your acquaintance. It shall not be obnoxious, or difficile, Sir. How does my noble Captain? Is the Bull, Bear, and Horse, in rerum natura still? Sir. Sic visum superis. I would you would but intimate 'em, do. Go your ways in, and get toasts, and Butter, made for the Woodcocks. That's a fit Province for you. Alas, what a tyranny, is this poor fellow married too. O, but the sport will be anon, when we get him lose. Dares be ever speak? No Anabaptist ever railed with the like licence: but mark her Language in the meantime, I beseech you. Gentlemen, you are very aptly come. My Cosin, Sir Amorous, will be here briefly. In good time, Lady. Was not Sir Iohn Daw here, to ask for him, and the company? I cannot assure you, Mr. Tru-wit. Here was a very melancholy Knight in a Ruff, that demanded my subject for somebody, a Gentleman, I think. ay, that was he, Lady. But he departed straight, I can resolve you. What an excellent choice phrase, this Lady expresses in? O, Sir! she is the only authentical Courtier, that is not naturally bred one, in the City. You have taken that report upon trust, Gentlemen. No, I assure you, the Court governs it so, Lady, in your behalf. I am the Servant of the Court, and Courtiers, Sir. They are rather your Idolaters. Not so, Sir. How now, Cutberd? Any cross? and indeed, so ashamed of her injury to you, that she desires you to forgive her, and but grace her Wedding with your presence today— She is to be married to a very good fortune, she says, his Uncle, old Morose: and she willed me in private to tell you, that she shall be able to do you more favours, and with more security now, then before. Did she say so, i'faith? Why, what do you think of me, Sir Iohn! ask Sir Dauphine. Nay, I believe you. Good Sir Dauphine, did she desire me to forgive her? I assure you, Sir Iohn, she did. Nay then, I do with all my heart, and I'll be jovial. Yes, for look you Sir, this was the injury to you. La-Foole intended this Feast to honour her Bridal day, and made you the property to invite the College Ladies, and promise to bring her: and then at the time, she should have appeared (as his friend) to have given you the dor. Whereas now, Sir Dauphine has brought her to a feeling of it, with this kind of satisfaction, that you shall bring all the Ladies to the place where she is, and be very jovial; and there she will have a Dinner, which shall be in your name: and so disappoint La-Foole, to make you good again, and (as it were) a saver i'the man. As I am a Knight, I honour her, and forgive her heartily.

That's a fit Prouince for you. Alas, what a tyrannie, is this poore fellow marryed too. O, but the ſport will be anon, when wee get him looſe. Dares be euer ſpeake? No Anabaptiſt euer rail'd with the like licence: but marke her Language in the meane-time, I beſeech you. Gentlemen, you are very aptly come. My Coſin, Sir Amorous, will be here briefly. In good time, Lady. Was not Sir Iohn Daw here, to aske for him, and the company? I cannot aſſure you, Mr. Tru-wit. Here was a very melancholy Knight in a Ruffe, that demanded my ſubiect for ſome body, a Gentleman, I thinke. I, that was he, Lady. But he departed ſtraight, I can reſolue you. What an excellent choice phraſe, this Lady expreſſes in? O, Sir! ſhe is the onely authenticall Courtier, that is not naturally bred one, in the Citie. You haue taken that report vpon truſt, Gentlemen. No, I aſſure you, the Court gouernes it ſo, Lady, in your behalfe. I am the Seruant of the Court, and Courtiers, Sir. They are rather your Idolaters. Not ſo, Sir. How now, Cutberd?

Nay then, I doe with all my heart, and I'll bee iouiall. Yes, for looke you Sir, this was the iniurie to you. La-Foole intended this Feaſt to honour her Bridale day, and made you the propertie to inuite the Colledge Ladies, and promiſe to bring her: and then at the time, ſhee ſhould haue appear'd (as his friend) to haue giuen you the dor. Whereas now, Sir Dauphine has brought her to a feeling of it, with this kind of ſatisfaction, that you ſhall bring all the Ladies to the place where ſhe is, and be very iouiall; and there ſhee will haue a Dinner, which ſhall be in your name: and ſo diſappoint La-Foole, to make you good againe, and (as it were) a ſauer i'the man. As I am a Knight, I honour her, and forgiue her heartily.
