Certes me dincke de mine depeteta de little Angloise, de me Matresse Pisaro is un net, un becues, vn fra, et un tendra Damosella. What Stocks, what stones, what senseless Trunks be these? whenas I bid you speak, you hold your tongue: When I bid peace, then can you prate, and chat, And gossip: But go too, speak and bid welcome; Or (as I live) you were as good you did. I cannot tell what Language I should speak: If I speak English (as I can none other) They cannot understand me, nor my welcome. Bella Madonna, dare is no language so dulce; dulce, dat is sweet, as de language, dat you shall speak, and de vell come dat you sal say, sal be well know perfaytemente. Pray sir, What is all this in English? De usa sal vell teash you vat dat is; and if you sal please, I will teash you to parlour Italiano. And that methinks sir, not without need: And with Italian, to a Child's obedience, With such desire to seek to please their Parents, As others far more virtuous than themselves, Do daily strive to do: But 'tis no matter, I'll shortly pull your haughty stomachs down: I'll teach you urge your Father; make you run, When I bid run: and speak, when I bid speak: What greater cross can careful parents have Then careless Children. Stir and see who knocks? Good morrow to my good Mistress Mathea. As good a morrow, to the morrow giver. A murrain, what make these? What do they here? You see master Pisaro, we are bold guests, You could have bid no surer men than we. Hark you Gentlemen; I did expect you At afternoon, not before two o'clock. Why sir, if you please, you shall have us here at two o'clock, at three o'clock, at four o'clock; nay till tomorrow this time: yet I assure you, sir, we came not to your house without inviting. Why Gentlemen, I pray who bade you now? whoever did it, sure hath done you wrong: For scarcely could you come to worser cheer. It was your own self bade us to your cheer, When you were busy with Balsaro talking; You bade us cease our suits till dinner time, And then to use it for our table talk: And we I warrant you, are as sure as Steel. A murrain on yourselves, and sureness too: How am I crossed: God's me, what shall I do, This was that ill news of the Spanish Pirates, That so disturbed me: well, I must dissemble, And bid them welcome; but for my Daughters I'll send them hence, they shall not stand and prate. Well my Masters, Gentlemen, and Friends, Though unexpected, yet most heartily welcome; (Welcome with a vengeance) but for your cheer, That will be small: yet too too much for you. Mall, in and get things ready. Laurentia, bid Maudlin lay the Cloth, take up the Meat: Look how she stirs; you sullen Elf, you Callet, Is this the haste you make?

Certes me dincke de mine depeteta de little Angloiſe, de me Matreſſe Piſaro is vn nette, vn becues, vn fra, et vn tendra Damoſella. What Stocks, what ſtones, what ſenceles Truncks be theſe? When as I bid you ſpeake, you hold your tongue: When I bid peace, then can you prate, and chat, And goſsip: But goe too, ſpeake and bid welcome; Or (as I liue) you were as good you did. I cannot tell what Language I ſhould ſpeake: Yf I ſpeake Engliſh (as I can none other) They cannot vnderſtand mee, nor my welcome. Bella Madona, dare is no language ſo dulce; dulce, dat is ſweete, as de language, dat you ſhall ſpeake, and de vell come dat you ſal ſay, ſal be well know perfaytemente. Pray ſir, What is all this in Engliſh? De vſa ſal vell teaſh you vat dat is; and if you ſal pleaſe, I will teaſh you to parler Italiano. And that mee thinkes ſir, not without need: And with Italian, to a Childes obedience, With ſuch deſire to ſeeke to pleaſe their Parents, As others farre more vertuous then them ſelues, Doe dayly ſtriue to doe: But tis no matter, Ile ſhortly pull your haughtie ſtomacks downe: Ile teach you vrge your Father; make you runne, When I bid runne: and ſpeake, when I bid ſpeake: What greater croſſe can carefull parents haue Then careleſſe Children. Stirre and ſee who knocks? Good morrow to my good Miſtris Mathea. As good a morrow, to the morrow giuer. A murren, what make theſe? What do they heere? You ſee maiſter Piſaro, we are bold gueſtes▪ You could haue bid no ſurer men then wee. Harke you Gentlemen; I did expect you At after noone, not before two a clocke. Why ſir, if you pleaſe, you ſhall haue vs heere at two a clocke, at three a clocke, at foure a clock; nay till to morrow this time: yet I aſſure you▪ ſir, wee came not to your houſe without inuiting. Why Gentlemen, I pray who bade you now? Who euer did it, ſure hath done you wrong: For ſcarcely could you come to worſer cheare. It was your owne ſelfe bade vs to your cheare, When you were buſie with Balſaro talking; You bade vs ceaſe our ſuites till dinner time, And then to vſe it for our table talke: And wee I warrant you, are as ſure as Steele. A murren on your ſelues, and ſurenes too: How am I croſt: Gods mee, what ſhall I doe, This was that ill newes of the Spaniſh Pirats, That ſo diſturb'd mee: well, I muſt diſſemble, And bid them welcome; but for my Daughters Ile ſend them hence, they ſhall not ſtand and prate. Well my Maiſters, Gentlemen, and Friends, Though vnexpected, yet moſt heartily welcome; (Welcome with a vengeance) but for your cheare, That will be ſmall: yet too too much for you. Mall, in and get things readie. Laurentia, bid Maudlin lay the Cloth, take vp the Meate: Looke how ſhe ſtirres; you ſullen Elfe, you Callet, Is this the haſte you make?
