Why then he will come home I know not when: you shall pardon me, I'll talk no more of this subject, but say gods be with him where ere he is, and send him well home again: For why, he is gone, or when he will return, let them know that directed him: Only this, there's mad Moriscoes in the state; but what they are, I'll tell you when I know. Come, let's go, hear all, and say nothing. Content. Timantus, is the Duke ready yet? Almost. What ails him? Faith I know not, I think he has dreamt he's but eighteen: has been worse since he sent you forth for the frizzling-iron. That cannot be, he lay in Gloves all night, and this morning I brought him a new Periwig with a lock at it, and knocked up a swinge in's chamber. O but since, his tailor came, and they have fallen out about the fashion on's clothes: and yonder's a fellow come, has board a hole in's ear; and he has bespake a vaulting-horse, you shall see him come forth presently: he looks like Winter, stuck here and there with fresh flowers. Will he not Tilt think you? I think he will. What does he mean to do? I know not: but by this light I think he is in love; he would ha' been shaved but for me. In love, with whom? I could guess, but you shall pardon me: he will take me along with him some whither. I overheard him ask your opinion of somebody's beauty. Yes, there it goes that makes him so youthful, and has laid by his Crutch, and halts now with a leading staff. Timantus. Sir. This Feather is not large enough. Yes faith, 'tis such a one as the rest of the young Gallants wear. Telamon, does it do well? Sir, it becomes you, or you become it, the rareliest— Away, dost think so? Think sir? I know it. Sir, the Princess is past all hope of life since the Dwarf was put to death. Let her be so, I have other matters in hand: but this same tailor angers me, he has made my doublet so wide: and see, the knave has put no points at my arm. Those will be put too quickly Sir, upon any occasion. Telamon, have you bid this Dancer come a mornings? Yes Sir. Timantus, let me see the glass again: look you how careless you are grown, is this tooth well put in? Which Sir? This Sir. It shall be. methinks that tooth should put him in mind on's years: and Timantus stands as if (seeing the Duke in such a youthful habit) he were looking in's mouth how old he were. So, fo. Will you have your Gown sir? My Gown? why, am I sick? bring me my Sword. Let a couple of the great horses be brought out for us. he'll kill himself. Why, will you ride sir?
