Not my shrug sir? That was my last lesson. Indeed sir I was by, when Signior Gosso in that action smiled, and asked if you were not lousy. O there's your fault, gentle Jingle. A hundred to one you shrugged but with one shoulder. I would advise you hereafter to shrug by a looking-glass, that you may see after what manner you do it. Indeed my looking-glass is broken with dancing with it in my hand, to mark the postures of my face when I capered. But I'll buy another. Nay, you must buy two, that one may reflect upon the other, and then may you at once see your motion in your shrug both before and behind. O excellent! for this double glass, I'll give you a double fee. But, I pray you sir, wherein is my shrug faulty? My dear scholar, thou must know, there are diverse kinds of shrugs, there is the miser's shrug, and that is accompanied with the scratching of the elbow: there is the beggar's shrug, and that's done with a quick motion, snatching, to make a six▪ footed bandog leave his hold. My Master and I act that at home sometimes, when we are loath to part with an old friend, our linen. There is a winter shrug, and that's performed with the hands ensconced in a Must, & a Fox-furred con close gift. There is a drowsy shrug, and that sometime befalls a gallant, when he has set up all night at Cards, and saved the pulling off his boots. This shrug is commonly performed with displaying out the arms, and yawning with the mouth, which represents a kind of Leopard's face. And lastly, there is a gentle Italian shrug. I pray you sir let me go with you Let me see. The miser's shrug, the winter shrug, the drowsy shrug, the lousy shrug. I shall hardly carry away all these. Nay, you must carry away none of these. You must leave them all behind you. The last and only gentle shrug, is your Italian shrug. O the Italian shrug. There 'tis. How's that? I shrug with desire to learn it. That shrug is performed by lifting up both shoulders exactly together with one uniform motion, somewhat swift, and holding them a while in suspense, with the neck somewhat couching, and the chin thrust out, than the shoulders are to be let down again, as it were by a double pulley, with a slow motion, which by degrees vanisheth. And if you will accomplish it with a grace, you must all the while cast your eyes into a leering posture. O excellent school of virtue! But when must I use this shrug? Upon diverse occurring cases, very usefully. But especially when you are asked a question, which you cannot deny with safety, nor assent unto with honour. In such a two-forked dilemma, the shrug relieves you, and you come off with reputation of wisdom.
