With a Priest that lacks Latin, and a rich man that hath not the Gout: for the one sleeps easily because he cannot study, and the other lives merrily, because he feels no pain: the one lacking the burden of lean and wasteful Learning; the other knowing no burden of heavy tedious penury. These Time ambles withal. Who doth he gallop withal? With a thief to the gallows: for though he go as softly as foot can fall, he thinks himself too soon there. Who stays it still withal? With Lawyers in the vacation: for they sleep between Term and Term, and then they perceive not how time moves. Where dwell you pretty youth? With this Shepherdess my sister: here in the skirts of the Forest, like fringe upon a petticoat. Are you native of this place? As the Conie that you see dwell where she is kindled. Your accent is something finer, than you could purchase in so removed a dwelling. I have been told so of many: but indeed, an old religious Uncle of mine taught me to speak, who was in his youth an inland man, one that knew Courtship too well: for there he fell in love. I have heard him read many Lectors against it, and I thank God, I am not a Woman to be touched with so many giddy offences as he hath generally taxed their whole sex withal. Can you remember any of the principal evils, that he laid to the charge of women? There were none principal, they were all like one another, as half pence are, every one fault seeming monstrous, till his fellow-fault came to match it. I prithee recount some of them. No: I will not cast away my physic, but on those that are sick. There is a man haunts the Forest, that abuses our young plants with carving Rosalinde on their barks; hangs Odes upon Hauthornes, and Elegies on brambles; all (forsooth) defying the name of Rosalinde. If I could meet that Fancie-monger, I would give him some good counsel, for he seems to have the Quotidian of Love upon him. I am he that is so Loue-shaked, I pray you tell me your remedy. There is none of my Uncle's marks upon you: he taught me how to know a man in love: in which cage of rushes, I am sure you act not prisoner. What were his marks? A lean cheek, which you have not: a blue eye and sunken, which you have not: an unquestionable spirit, which you have not: a beard neglected, which you have not: (but I pardon you for that, for simply your having in beard, is a younger brothers revennew) than your hose should be vngartered, your bonnet unbanded, your sleeve unbuttoned, your shoe untied, and every thing about you, demonstrating a careless desolation: but you are no such man; you are rather point device in your accoutrements, as loving yourself, then seeming the Lover of any other.

With a Prieſt that lacks Latine, and a rich man that hath not the Gowt: for the one ſleepes eaſily becauſe he cannot ſtudy, and the other liues merrily, becauſe he feeles no paine: the one lacking the burthen of leane and waſteful Learning; the other knowing no burthen of heauie tedious penurie. Theſe Time ambles withal. Who doth he gallop withal? With a theefe to the gallowes: for though hee go as ſoftly as foot can fall, he thinkes himſelfe too ſoon there. Who ſtaies it ſtil withal? With Lawiers in the vacation: for they ſleepe betweene Terme and Terme, and then they perceiue not how time moues. Where dwel you prettie youth? With this Shepheardeſſe my ſiſter: heere in the skirts of the Forreſt, like fringe vpon a petticoat. Are you natiue of this place? As the Conie that you ſee dwell where ſhee is kindled. Your accent is ſomething finer, then you could purchaſe in ſo remoued a dwelling. I haue bin told ſo of many: but indeed, an olde religious Vnckle of mine taught me to ſpeake, who was in his youth an inland man, one that knew Courtſhip too well: for there he fel in loue. I haue heard him read many Lectors againſt it, and I thanke God, I am not a Woman to be touch'd with ſo many giddie offences as hee hath generally tax'd their whole ſex withal. Can you remember any of the principall euils, that he laid to the charge of women? There were none principal, they were all like one another, as halfe pence are, euerie one fault ſeeming monſtrous, til his fellow-fault came to match it. I prethee recount ſome of them. No: I wil not caſt away my phyſick, but on thoſe that are ſicke. There is a man haunts the Forreſt, that abuſes our yong plants with caruing Roſalinde on their barkes; hangs Oades vpon Hauthornes, and Elegies on brambles; all (forſooth) defying the name of Roſalinde. If I could meet that Fancie-monger, I would giue him ſome good counſel, for he ſeemes to haue the Quotidian of Loue vpon him. I am he that is ſo Loue-ſhak'd, I pray you tel me your remedie. There is none of my Vnckles markes vpon you: he taught me how to know a man in loue: in which cage of ruſhes, I am ſure you act not priſoner. What were his markes? A leane cheeke, which you haue not: a blew eie and ſunken, which you haue not: an vnqueſtionable ſpirit, which you haue not: a beard neglected, which you haue not: (but I pardon you for that, for ſimply your hauing in beard, is a yonger brothers reuennew) then your hoſe ſhould be vngarter'd, your bonnet vnbanded, your ſleeue vnbutton'd, your ſhoo vnti'de, and euerie thing about you, demonſtrating a careleſſe deſolation: but you are no ſuch man; you are rather point deuice in your accouſtrements, as louing your ſelfe, then ſeeming the Louer of any other.
