Marked words are the most distinguishing words of T24: apollo, phoebus, midas, muses, ears, play, hedone, gods, siren, time.
Did not Siren creep into the souls of the auditory? My friend Siren slid on smoothly, like my feet upon the ice. I think she has unbent Apollo's bow. She will have a good day of it, I hope. Young Jingle in his trial stood much upon his gentry, and carried himself like a fine dancing Courtier. When I heard Slug called, I thought we should tarry long, and so away came peel-garlic Ludio, to get him a room before hand here. But thou tellest me nothing all this while of thy own trial. Were you not put to it shrewdly? I trow I put Apollo and all his Muses to it. There can no sentence pass against me. My defence was so strong and unanswerable. I am sorry that my office called me away from hearing you, will you do me the honour to impart to me some of your discourse? I have it here engrossed and recorded. I wonder how you could borrow so much time from play, as to compose so large a declaration? I have a ●end in a corner, I teach him the knacks of gaining, how to cut a bum card, how to help a die, and such like, and he in kind requital has drawn an Apology for me in form of Law, according to the style or Apollo's Court. Could you before all them pronounce it lustily, as if it had been your own making? I have a certain virtue called audacity. I hat did bear me our where my wit or memory failed. I ●ng to hear some of it. Can you say it? So, so: As we do our lessons, with a casting a leer eye sometime upon my paper. It is lege. I will no 〈◊〉 ●le thee to say it over. Only read I pray you some of the principal points. I tell thee here be above a dozen of points. You shall have a touch of the fore-point thus. I have known the time when you have had neither fore not ●d point, when you have returned from spurn point. First, I looked gravely like Cato, and withal, cheerfully like Puerilis And then to show what confidence I had in my cause, I stroked up my foretop with the comb of my finders thus. My sister had sprinkled it with rose water, and my lips too, to make my Rhetoric the sweeter. No doubt rose water added a sweet sound to your words. Then I made obeisance thrice, with a nimble low stoop which I learned when we played at Duck friar. Then I cried ●m, ●em to clear my voice, and to provoke the Auditory to answer me with their gentle expectation. Here is a large Entry to a low house.

Did not Siren creepe into the soules of the auditory? My friend Siren slid on smoothly, like my feete vpon the ice. I thinke shee has vnbent Apollos bow. She will haue a good day of it, I hope. Yong Gingle in his triall stood much vpon his gentry, and carried himselfe like a fine dancing Courtier. When I heard Slugge call'd, I thought we should tarry long, and so away came peelegarlicke Ludio, to get him a roome before hand here. But thou tellest me nothing all this while of thy owne tryall. Were you not put to it shrewdly? I trow I put Apollo and all his Muses to it. There can no sentence passe against me. My defence was so strong and vnanswerable. I am sorry that my office called mee away from hearing you, will you doe mee the honour to impart to me some of your discourse? I haue it here grossed and recorded. I wonder how you could borrow so much time from play, as to compose so large a declaration? I haue a end in a corner, I teach him the knacks of gaining, how to cut a bum card, how to helpe a dye, and such like, and he in kinde requiall has drawne an Apology for me in forme of Law, according to the stile or Apollos Court. Could you before all them pronounce it lustily, as if it had bin your owne making? I haue a certaine vertue called audacity. I hat did beare me our where my wit or memory failed.

Onely reade I pray you some of the principall points. I tell thee here be aboue a dozen of points. You shl haue a touch of the fore-point thus. I haue knowne the time when you haue had neither fore not d point, when you haue return'd from purne point. First, I look't grauely like Cato, and withall, cheerefully like Purilis And then to show what confidence I had in my cause, I strok't vp my foretop with the combe of my finders thus. My sister had sprinckled it with rose water, and my lips too, to make my Rhetoricke the sweeter. No doubt rose water added a sweet sound to your words.
