Learned Sir, will you bid my man come to me? and requesting a greater measure of your learning, good night, good Mr Roger. Good Sir, peace be with you. adieu dear Domine. Half a dozen such in a Kingdom would make a man forswear confession: for who that had but half his wits about him would commit the counsel of a serious sin to such a cruel nightcap? Why how now, shall we have an antic? Whose head do you carry upon your shoulders, that you jowl it so against the post? Is't for your ease? or have you seen the Seller? Where are my slippers sir? Here Sir. Where Sir? have you got the pot verdugo? have you seen the horse's Sir? Yes Sir. Have they any meat? Faith Sir they have a kind of wholesome rushes, hay I cannot call it. And no provender? Sir so I take it. You are merry Sir, and why so? Faith Sir, here are no oats to be got, unless you'll have 'em in porridge: the people are so mainly given to spoonmeat: yonder's a cast of Coach-mares of the gentlewoman's, the strangest Cattle. Why? Why they are transparent sir, you may see through them: and such a house? Come Sir, the truth of your discovery. Sir they are in tribes like Jews: the Kitchen and the Dairy make one tribe, and have their faction and their fornication within themselves; the Buttery and the Laundry are another, and there's no love lost; the chambers are entire, and what's done there, is somewhat higher than my knowledge; but this I am sure, between these copulations, a stranger is kept virtuous, that is, fasting. But of all this the drink Sir. What of that Sir? Faith Sir I will handle it as the time and your patience will give me leave. This drink, or this cooling julep, of which three spoonfuls kills the Calenture, a pint breeds the cold Palsy. Sir you bely the house. I would I did Sir. But as I am a true man, if 'twere but one degree colder, nothing but an ass's hoof would hold it. I am glad on't Sir: for if it had proved stronger, you had been tongue-tied of these commendations. Light me the candle Sir, I'll hear no more. Come my brave man of war, trace out thy darling, And you my learned Council, set and turn boys Kiss till the Cow come home, kiss close, kiss close knave s. My modern Poet, thou shalt kiss in couplets. Strike up you merry varlets, and leave your peeping, This is no pay for Fiddlers. O my dear boy, thy Hercules, thy Captain Makes thee his Hilas, his delight, his solace. Love thy brave man of war, and let thy bounty Clap him in chamois: Let there be deducted out of our main potation Five Marks in hatchments to adorn this thigh, Cramped with this rest of peace, and I will fight Thy battles.
