Come on, since 'tis done, let them go: but I cannot ride my journey contentedly until I have these eggs. Simplo, fetch them again. Tell the woman, she shall have as many or more another time. Now must I fetch these eggs from the poor woman against my nature. I was never ashamed of a master before. There are few times that we ride forth, but a roasted rabbit, a piece of chief, or a dry breast of mutton is trussed up in the cloak-bag, especially when we lie at an Inn the next night (as now we shall.) And but for fowling the cloak-bag, and his clothes, we had carried these eggs now. There is no such stuff now in the cloak-bag I trow? If I thought there were, I would throw it to the dogs rather than it should ride behind me. Is there not? 'tis a great chance then; & I am much deceived if there be none: for there were some scraps left yesternight, and I find them not in any room in the house. That shallbe tried by and by. Be these his tricks? though I be his horse-keeper, I'll carry no coals nor bones neither I trow. (he undoth an end of the cloak-bag, and there takes out a napkin full of pieces of bread, a quarter of a breast of mutton, a piece of boiled beef, a pudding, a bone of a loin of veal: that he unpinneth, and lifting it up by one corner, let's all fall, and presently catcheth at them with his hands upon the ground, scrambling every way as he would catch at a Rat, saying.) What's become of her? take heed gentlewomen she get not up. I swear, I had almost catched her. Was there not a Rat there? Masters, you below, came she not that way? laugheth, and saith. How now Purgato. What, art thou at span-counter with Rats? I perceive thou wouldest have fought with any Rat in London rather then she should have be guiled thee of thy provender. My provender? the dogs shall eat it, before any bit shall come in my mouth. How came he by these scraps, and what would he do with them? Thou art but a novice Purgato. and hadst as much wit when thou suckedst (I think) as now. And beside for that thou camest to him but yesterday (in a manner) art ignorant of his fashions. I will instruct thee. The night before he rides from London, he will invite some of his acquaintance to supper with him (at their own charge more than his) than the remnant he packeth up thus. And at the next Inn he lodgeth in (if it be two days thence) he eats these cates under the colour of a little joint there dressed. And by this means he is counted at his Inn a very small meatman, but everywhere else a tall trencherman. But thou must understand the chamberlain and tapster are sent down when these dainties are in devouring.

Come on, since tis done, let them goe: but I cannot ride my iourney contentedle vntill I haue these egges. Simplo, fetch them againe. Tell the woman, she shall haue as manie or more another time. Now must I fetch these egges from the poore woman against my nature. I was neuer ashamed of a master before. There are few times that we ride forth, but a rosted Rabbet, a piece of cheefe, or a drie brest of mutton is truss'd vp in the cloak-bag, especially when wee lye at an Inne the next night (as now we shall.) And but for fowling the cloake-bag, and his cloathes, we had carried these egges now. There is no such stuffe now in the cloake-bagge I trow? If I thought there were, I would throw it to the dogs rather then it should ride behinde me. Is there not? tis a great chance then; & I am much deceiu'd if there be none: for there were some scrappes left yesternight, and I finde them not in anie roome in the house. That shalbe tried by and by. Be these his trickes? though I be his horse-keeper, Ile carrie no coales nor bones neither I trow. (hee vndoeth an end of the cloake-bag, and there takes out a napkin full of pieces of bread, a quarter of a brest of mutton, a piece of boyld beefe, a pudding, a bone of a loine of veale: that he vnpinneth, and lifting it vp by one corner, lets all fall, and presently catcheth at them with his hands vpon the ground, scrambling euerie way as hee would cach at a Rat, saying.) What's become of her? take heed gentlewomen she get not vp. I sweare, I had almost catch'd her. Was there not a Rat there? Masters, you below, came shee not that way? Langheth, and saith. How now Purgato. What, art thou at span-counter with Rats? I perceiue thou wouldest haue fought with any Rat in London rather then she should haue be guil'd thee of thy provender. My provender? the dogs shall ate it, before any bit shall come in my mouth. How came he by these scraps, and what would he doe with them? Thou art but a novice Purgato. and hadst as much wit when thou suckedst (I thinke) as now. And besides for that thou camest to him but yesterday (in a manner) art ignorant of his fashions. I will instruct thee. The night before he rides from London, he will invite some of his acquaintance to supper with him (at their owne charge more then his) then the remnant he packeth vp thus. And at the next Inne he lodgeth in (if it be two dayes thence) he ates these ates vnder the colour of a litle joint there dressed. And by this meanes hee is counted at his Inne a verie small meateman, but everie-where els a tall trencher-man. But thou must vnderstand the chamberlain and tapster are sent down when these dainties are in devouring.
