Then sir, I will first disburden you of your Cloak, You will be the nimbler to practise: Now sir, observe me, Go you directly to the Lady to whom you devote yourself. Yes sir. You shall set a good stayed face upon the matter then. Your Band is not to your Shirt, is it? No sir, 'tis loose. It is the fitter for my purpose. I will first remove your Hat, it has been the fashion (as I have heard) in England, to wear your Hat thus in your eyes; But it is gross, nought, inconvenient, and proclaims with a loud voice; that he that brought it up first, stood in fear of Sergeants. Your Italian is contrary, he doth advance his Hat, and sets it thus. Excellent well: I would you would set on my head so. Soft, I will first remove your Band, and set it out of the reach of your eye; it must lie altogether backward: So, your Band is well. Is it as you would have it! It is as I would wish; only sir, this I must condition you off; in your affront or salute, never to move your Hat: But here, here is your courtesy. Nay I warrant you, let me alone; if I perceive a thing once, I'll carry it away: Now pray sir, reach my Cloak. Never whilst you live, sir. No, what do your Italians wear no Cloaks? Your signiors never: you see I am unfurnished myself. Sa'y so prithee keep it then. See, yonder's the company that I look for; therefore if you will set my face of any fashion, pray do it quickly? You carry your face as well as ear an Italian in the world, only enrich it with a Smile, and 'tis incomparable: and thus much more, at your first appearance, you shall perhaps strike your acquaintance into an ecstasy, or perhaps a laughter: but 'tis ignorance in them, which will soon be overcome, if you persever. I will persever, I warrant thee; only do thou stand aloof and be not seen, because I would have them think I fetched it out of my own practice. Do not you fear, I'll not be seen, I warrant you. Now Widow, you are welcome to my house, And to your own house too; so you may call it: For what is mine, is yours: you may command here, As at home, and be as soon obeyed. May I deserve this kindness of you, sir? Save you Gent. I salute you after the Italian fashion. How, the Italian fashion? Zounds, he has dressed him rarely My son Bubble, I take it? The neither part of him I think is he, But what the upper part is, I know not. By my troth he's a rare fellow, he said true: They are all in an ecstasy. I think he's mad? Nay that can not be; for they say, they that are mad, lose their wits: and I am sure he had none to lose.

Then sir, I will first disburthen you of your Cloake, You will be the nimbler to practise: Now sir, obserue mee, Goe you directly to the Lady to whom you deuote your selfe. Yes sir. You shall set a good stay'd face vpon the matter then. Your Band is not to your Shirt, is it? No sir, tis loose. It is the fitter for my purpose. I will first remooue your Hatte, it has been the fashion (as I haue heard) in England, to weare your Hatte thus in your eyes; But it is grosse, naught, inconuenient, and proclaymes with a loude voyce; that hee that brought it vp first, stood in feare of Sargiants. Your Italian is contrarie, hee doth aduance his Hatte, and sets it thus. Excellent well: I would you would set on my head so. Soft, I will first remoue your Band, and set it out of the reach of your eye; it must lie altogeather backward: So, your Band is well. Is it as you would haue it! It is as I would wish; onely sir, this I must condition you off; in your affront or salute, neuer to mooue your Hatte: But heere, heere is your curtesie. Nay I warrant you, let mee alone; if I perceiue a thing once, Ile carrie it away: Now pray sir, reach my Cloake. Neuer whilst you liue, sir. No, what doe your Italians weare no Cloakes? Your Signeors neuer: you see I am vnfurnisht my selfe. Sa'y so'prethee keepe it then. See, yonder's the companie that I looke for; therefore if you will set my face of any fashion, pray doe it quickly? You carry your face as well as eare an Italian in the world, onely inrich it with a Smyle, and tis incomparable: and thus much more, at your first apparace, you shall perhaps strike your acquaintance into an extasie, or perhaps a laughter: but tis ignorance in them, which will soone be ouercome, if you perseuer. I will perseuer, I warrant thee; onely doe thou stand aloofe and be not seene, because I would haue them thinke I fetcht it out of my owne practise. Do not you feare, Ile not be seene, I warrant you. Now Widdow, you are welcome to my house, And to your owne house too; so you may call it: For what is mine, is yours: you may command heere, As at home, and be as soone obayde. May I deserue this kindnesse of you, sir? Saue you Gent. I salute you after the Italian fashion. How, the Italian fashion? Zounds, he has drest him rarely My sonne Bubble, I take it? The nether part of him I thinke is hee, But what the vpper part is, I know not. By my troth hee's a rare fellow, he sayd true: They are all in an extasie. I thinke hee's madde? Nay that can not bee▪ for they ay, they that are madde, loose their wits: and I am sure he had none to loose.
