They must either (For so run the Conditions) leave those remnants Of Fool and Feather, that they got in France, With all their honourable points of ignorance Pertaining thereunto; as Fights and Fireworks, Abusing better men than they can be Out of a foreign wisdom, renouncing clean The faith they have in Tennis and tall Stockings, Short blistered Breeches, and those types of Travel; And understand again like honest men, Or pack to their old Playfellows; there, I take it, They may Cum Praulegio, we away The lag end of their lewdness, and be laughed at. 'tis time to give 'em Physic, their diseases Are grown so catching. What a loss our Ladies Will have of these trim vanities? I marry, There will be woe indeed Lords, the sly whoresons Have got a speeding trick to lay down Ladies. A French Song, and a Fiddle, has no Fellow. The Devil fiddle 'em, I am glad they are going, For sure there's no converting of 'em: now An honest Country Lord as I am, beaten A long time out of play, may bring his plain song, And have an hour of hearing, and by't Lady Held currant Music too. Well said Lord Sands, Your Colt's tooth is not cast yet? No my Lord, Nor shall not while I have a stump. Sir Thomas, Whither were you a going? To the Cardinals; Your Lordship is a guest too. O, 'tis true; This night he makes a Supper, and a great one, To many Lords and Ladies; there will be The Beauty of this Kingdom I'll assure you. That Churchman Bears a bounteous mind indeed, A hand as fruitful as the Land that feeds us, His dews fall every where. No doubt he's Noble; He had a black mouth that said other of him. He may my Lord, Has wherewithal in him; Sparing would show a worse sin, then ill Doctrine, Men of his way, should be most liberal, They are set here for examples. True, they are so; But few now give so great ones: My Barge stays; Your Lordship shall along: Come, good Sir Thomas, We shall be late else, which I would not be, For I was spoke to, with Sir Henry Guilford This night to be Comptrollers. I am your Lordships. Ladies, A general welcome from his Grace Salutes ye all; This Night he dedicates To fair content, and you: None here he hopes In all this Noble Bevy, has brought with her One care abroad: he would have all as merry: As first, good Company, good wine, good welcome, Can make good people. O my Lord, ye are tardy; The very thought of this fair Company, Clapped wings to me. You are young Sir Harry Guildford. Sir Thomas Lovel, had the Cardinal But halfe my Lay-thoughts in him, some of these Should find a running Banquet, ere they rested, I think would better please 'em: by my life, They are a sweet society of fair ones.
