It may be that Apollo will consider him. But let us haste up to Parnassus' top. The time is come, the Court must now begin. My heart is warm with hope to follow them. STill I say and swear upon my virtues, that you are mistaken. Have you been so long my scholar, and are you yet unacquainted with the calendar of my stipend book? My bargain was to allow you five crowns a month, and will you now wire-draw me to thirteen months i'th' year? When I was Apollo's scholar, I'm sure Musaeus reckoned but quarterly, 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but twelve months i'th' year. Apollo's Priest must follow his Masters walk, the suns yearly passage through the twelve signs of the Zodiac. I will have nothing to do with Astronomy. ay, but our Almanacs every year reckon but twelve months. What dost thou tell me of Almanacs? usurers go by the Almanac. I scorn that griping trade. My month is four weeks ●ust, you may remember them by the changing your shirts, every fourth shirt determines my pay. I reckon the month by one shirt. Who shall be judge between us? Judge between us? Am not I thine instructor▪ I'll be thy judge. For every one of my months I teach thee a several strain of Courtesy And so thou hast of me in the year, documents accordingly, thirteen to the dozen. My Master's father was a Baker, and therefore he allows an odd call of courtesy, neatly chipped. Si●a Imp. draw out the Catalogue and number them. The first month, the Semicircle. ay, with my hat thus. To make just half a circumference. Remember always the drop withal. In my motion, my gold hatband must fall down, thus. I cry fallings: this is my fee, I trow. It is an excellent emblem, and signifies that for love of your friend, you will cast away your gold, and trample it under your feet, and that's the reason that Gentlemen now adays wear their hatbands loose. Register proceed. The second month the Calf-clasp. Perform it with Imp. that I may view you the better. Do you remember that in arching your arm over his shoulder, you must never touch his band or garment behind, but apprehend the calf with your first touch entirely. I warrant you, I am old dog at that. If I had known you had been an old dog, I would not have trusted you with my Calf. Ba. And before I dismiss the calf, I give it the gentle nip or prasye thus. Ba, ba. No Butcher nips a Calf more neatly in the rump. Which shows your fervency of love, that you are loath to be unclasped from your friend's intimity. I have it to a hair. Register walk on your monthly pace. The third month, the gentle shrug. I must tell you, you have not got that perfect yet.
