Nay faith, I would do nothing with him, unless I set him to teach Parrots to speak: marry the old Ass my Master, would have him to teach his Daughters, though I trust the whole world sees, that there be such in his house that can serve his daughter's turn, as well as the proudest Frenchman: but if you be good lads, tell me where I may find such a man? We will, go high thee straight to Paul's, There shalt thou find one fitting thy desire; Thou soon mayst know him, for his Beard is black, Such is his raiment, if thou runnest apace, Thou canst not miss him Frisco. Lord, Lord, how shall poor Phrisco reward your rich tidings Gentlemen: I am yours till Shrove-Tuesday, for then change I my Copy, & look like nothing but Red-Herring cobs, and stockfish; yet I'll do somewhat for you in the mean time: my Master is abroad, and my young Mistresses at home: if you can do any good on them before the Frenchman corn, why so? Ah Gentlemen, do not suffer a litter of Languages to spring up amongst us: I must to the Walk in Paul's, you to the Vestry. Gentlemen, as to myself, and so forth. fools tell the truth men say, and so may he: Wenches we come now, Love our conduct be. Ned, knock at the door: but soft forbear; The Cloud breaks up, and our three Suns appear. To this I fly, shine bright my lives sole stay, And make griefs night a glorious summer's day. Gentlemen, how welcome you are here, Guess by our looks, for other means by fear Prevented is: our father's quick return Forbids the welcome, else we would have done. Mathea, How these faithful thoughts obey, No more sweet love, I know what thou wouldst say: You say you love me, so I wish you still, Love hath loves hire, being balanced with good will: But say; come you to us, or come you rather To pawn more Lands for money to our father? I know 'tis so, a God's name spend at large: What man? our marriage day will all discharge; Our father (by his leave) must pardon us, Age save of age, of nothing can discuss: But in our loves, the proverb we'll fulfil: Women and Maids, must always have their will. Say thou as much, and add life to this corpse, yourself & your good news doth more enforce: How these have set forth love by all their wit, I swear in heart, I more than double it. Sisters be glad, for he hath made it plain, The means to get our Schoolmaster again: But Gentlemen, for this time cease our loves, This open street perhaps suspicion moves, Fain we would stay, bid you walk in more rather, But that we fear the coming of our father: Go to th' Exchange, crave Gold as you intend, Pisaro scrapes for us; for us you spend: We say farewell, more sadlier be bold, Then would my greedy father to his Gold: we here, you there, ask Gold; and Gold you shall: we'll pay the interest, and the principal.
