What Nobility? What achievements embolden him to obtrude upon us with such a request? An hour in a day? I tell thee, young chicken, great Princes have not made such a motion unto me without an Ambassador, and a present of a gold chain, or diamond ring, or some such trifle. Woe's me! Alas. I have no hope now, I think I must e'en return to my old trade again, & repeat In noua sert animus, and Tityre tu patulae. O sweet Imp. be my faithful Implement to your Master. I'll do any thing for thee, or for any of thy kin. Will you steal me your father's dagger with the silver haste? And my mother's silver bodkin too. They shall prick forward thy cause. I gallop to save thy life. I will beg a pardon for thee of this judge. Relent heroic spirit, relent. For my sake entertain Master Novice into your school. Thou knowest our school is thronged. My hands are full. The truth is, my virtuous faculty, joined with a strange dexterity, is so attractive, that I have scholars come flocking unto me, not only from the Theater and Venus' Court, but also from Apollo's seminary. I swell, I swell with the stuffings of the Grammar brood. I am one of those that lest the fescue trade, to page it thus in state. Nay, Logic and Philosophy doth often break up shop, and come to set up at my stall. Indeed Master of late we have had very good doings. The Usher of our school has had for fees of young gentlemen at their entrance, above an hundred crowns within this 12. months, besides his yearly stipend. I'll beg hard, but I'll get a crown of my Mother, and twelve pence for thee honest Iacke Implement. As for money for stipend or entrance, I do not much stand upon it, neither would I take any, but that I will not embase my faculty?. Indeed Master, if you should not take some fair see, the gentlemen would not think it such a reputation to be your prentices. Truly the more cost, the more worship. A wise saying. Write you that in your table book Master Novice upon my authority. And their Parents would scorn our ware, and say it were like stinking fish it hend of a market. Again for me good Imp. I pray you sir let him be admitted. he'll be content to stand next the door of our school. I warrant you sir, he'll be fed fat for a whole year, with two or three of the easiest plain tricks, of circling the hat, or the gambrel i'th' hams, the man i'th' toe, and the gridiron i'th' forehead. he'll be pleased with these till he can come to higher points of the Retort, the rebuff, the Catastrophe, the Antistropho. I could be content to enrol him in our petty form, but that I doubt some exceptions will be taken at the confluence of so many of that tribe, to our part. Master Philoponus a sour stoical scholar, told me to my teeth, that Apollo should be complained unto, and I accused of robbery, for stealing away his best hopes.
