By the ears, Thus sir, by the ears. Hold, hold. You'd still be prating. Come let's be drunk? than each man to his whore, Slight how do you look, you had best go find a Corner To pray in, and repent. Do, do, and cry It will show fine in Pirates. we must follow Or he will spend our shares; I fought for mine. Nor am I so precise but I can drab too: we will not sit out for our parts, Agreed. The devil gnaw off his fingers, if he were In London among the clubs, up went his heels For striking of a Prentice. What do you lack, What do you lack gentlemen. I wonder how the Viceroy can endure The insolence of this fellow. He receives profit From the Prizes he brings in, and that excuses whatever he commits? Ha, what are these! They seem of rank and quality, observe 'em. What do you lack! see what you please to buy, Wares of all sorts most honourable Madonna. Peace sirrah, make no noise, these are not people To be jested with. Is this the Christians' custom In the venting their commodities. Yes best madam But you may please to keep your way, here's nothing, But toys, and trifles, not worth your observing. Yes, for variety's sake pray you show us, friends, The chiefest of your Wares. Your ladyship's servant; And if in worth or Title you are more, My ignorance plead my pardon. He speaks well. Take down the looking glass: here is a mirror Steeled so exactly, neither taking from Nor flattering the object, it returns To the beholder, that Narcissus might (And never grow enamoured of himself:) View his fair feature in't. Poetical too. Here China dishes to serve in a Banquet, Though the voluptuous Persian sat a guest. Here Crystal glasses, such as Ganymede Did fill with Nectar to the Thunderer When he drank to Alcides, and received him In the fellowship of the gods: true to the owners. Corinthian plate studded with Diamonds, Concealed oft deadly poison; This pure metal So innocent is, and faithful to the Mistress Or Master that possesses it: that rather Than hold one drop that's venomous, of itself It flies in pieces, and deludes the Traitor. How movingly could this fellow treat upon A worthy subject, that finds such discourse To grace a trifle! here's a Picture Madame The master pecce of Michael Angelo, Our great Italian workman; here's another So perfect at all parts that had Pygmalion Seen this, his prayers had been made to Venus, To have given it life, and his carved ivory Image By poets ne'er remembered. They are indeed The rarest beauties of the Christian world And nowhere to be equaled. You are partial In the cause of those you favour I believe, I instantly could show you one, to theirs Not much inferior. With your pardon madam I am incredulous. Can you match me this!
