I do wonder what language he speaks. Do you hear my friend, are not you a conjuror? I am sir, a perfect traveler, that have trampled over The face of this universe. and can speak Greek and Latin as promptly, as my own natural Language: I have composed a Book, wherein I have set down All the Wonders of the world that I have seen, And the whole scope of my Journeys, together with the Miseries and lousy fortunes I have endured therein. O Lord Sir, are you the man; give me your hand: How do ye: in good faith I think I have heard of you. No sir, you never heard of me, I set this day footing Upon the wharf, I came in with the last peal of Ordinance, And dined this day in the Exchange amongst the Merchants. But this is frivolous and from the matter: you do seem To be one of our Genteel spirits that do affect Generosity: Pleaseth you to be instituted in the nature, Garb. and habit, Of the most exactest Nation in the world, the Italian: Whose Language is sweetest, Clothes nearest, and haviour Most accomplished: I am one that have spent much money, And time; which to me is more dear than money, in the Observation of these things: and now I am come, I will sit me down and rest, and make no doubt, But by quality, to purchase and build, by professing this Art, Or human Science (as I may term it,) to such Honourable And Worshipful personages as mean to be peculiar. This fellow has his tongue at his finger's ends: But hark you sir, is your Italian the finest Gentleman? In the world signior, your Spaniard is a mere Bumbard to him: he will bounce indeed; but he will burst: But your Italian is smooth and lofty, and his language is, Cousin germane to the Latin. Why then he has his Tu quoque in his salute? Yes sir, for it is an Italian word as well as a Latin, And infolds a double sense: for one way spoken, It includes a fine Gentleman like yourself; And another way, it imports an Ass, like whom you will. I would my man Iaruis were here, for he understands these things better than I. You will not serve? Serve, no sir, I have talked with the great Sophy. I pray sir, what's the lowest price of being Italianated? Sir, if it please you, I will stand to your bounty: And mark me, I will set your face like a Grand signiors, And you shall march a whole day, until you come opounctly to your Mistress, And not disrank one hair of your phisnomy. I would you would do it Sir, if you will stand to my Bounty, I will pay you, as I am an Italian tu quoque.
