Enough, I know her brother. I shall entreat you only to salute my Mistress, and take leave, we'll part at the stairs. Now Sir, this first part of your will is performed: what's the rest? First let me beg your notice for this Gentleman my Brother. I shall take it as a favour done to me, though the gentleman hath received but an untimely grace from you, yet my charitable disposition would have been ready to have done him freer courtesies as a stranger, than upon those cold commendations. Lady, my salutations crave acquaintance and leave at once. Sir I hope you are the master of your own occasions. Would I were so. Mistress, for me to praise over again that worth, which all the world, and you yourself can see. It's a cold Rome this; Servant. Mistress. What think you if I have a chimney for't out here? Mistress another in my place, that were not tied to believe all your actions just, would apprehend himself wronged: But I, whose virtues are constancy & obedience. Yonglove, make a good fire above to warm me after my servants Exordiums. I have heard and seen your affability to be such, that the servants you give wages to may speak. 'tis true, 'tis true; but they speak toth' purpose. Mistress your will leads my speeches from the purpose. But as a man— A Simile servant? This room was built for honest meaners, that deliver themselves hastily and plainly, and are gone. Is this a time or place for Exordiums, and Similes, and metaphors? If you have aught to say, break into't; my answers shall very reasonably meet you. Mistress I came to see you. That's happily dispatched, the next. To take leave of you. To be gone? Yes. you need not have despaired of that, nor have used so many circumstances to win me to give you leave to perform my command: Is there a third. Yes, I had a third, had you been apt to hear it. I never apter. Fast (good servant) fast. 'twas to entreat you to hear reason. Most willingly, have you brought one can speak it? Lastly, it is to kindle in that barren heart love and forgiveness. You would stay at home? Yes Lady. Why you may, and doubtlessly will, when you have debated that your commander is but your Mistress, a woman, a weak one, wildly overborne with passions: but the thing by her commanded, is to see Douers dreadful cliff, passing in a poor Water-House; the dangers of the merciless merciless twixt that and Callis, five long hours sail, with three poor weeks victuals. You wrong me. Then to land dumb, unable to inquire for an English host, to remove from City to City, by most chargeable post-horse, like one that rod in quest of his mother tongue. You wrong me much.
