A pretty question! and a very civil one! yes faith, I ha' my lading you see; or shall have anon, you may know whose beast I am, by my burden. If the pannier-man's jack were ever better known by his loins of mutton, I'll be flayed, and feed dogs for him, when his time comes. How melancholi' Mistress Grace is yonder! pray thee let's go enter ourselves in Grace, with her. Those six horses, friend I'll have— How! And the three Iewes trumps; and halfe a dozen o'Birds, and that Drum, (I have one Drum already) and your Smiths; I like that device o'your smiths, very pretty well, and four Halberds— and (le'me see) that fine painted great Lady, and her three women for state, I'll have. Not, the shop; buy the whole shop, it will be best, the shop, the shop! If his worship please. Yes, and keep it during the Fair, Bobchin. Peace, Numps, friend, do not meddle with him, an you be wise, and would show your head above board: he will sting thorough your wrought nightcap, believe me. A set of these Violins, I would buy too, for a delicate young noise I have i'the country, that are every one a size less than another, just like your fiddles. I would feign have a fine young Masque at my marriage, now I think on't: but I do want such a number o'things. And Numps will not help me now, and I dare not speak to him. Will your worship buy any gingerbread, very good bread, comfortable bread? Gingerbread! yes, let's see. There's the t'other springe? Is this well, goody Ione? to interrupt my market? in the midst? and call away my customers? can you answer this, at the Piepowders? Why? if his Mastership have a mind to buy, I hope my ware lies as open as another's; I may show my ware, as well as you yours. Hold your peace; I'll content you both: I'll buy up his shop, and thy basket. Will you i'faith? Why should you put him from it, friend? Cry you mercy! you'd be sold too, would you? what's the price on you? jerkin, and all as you stand? ha you any qualities? Yes, goodman angry-man, you shall find he has qualities, if you cheapen him. God's so, you ha' the selling of him! what are they? will they be bought for love, or money? Not indeed, Sir. For what than? victuals? He scorns victuals, Sir, he has bread and butter at home, thanks be to God and yet he will do more for a good meal, if the toy take him i'the belly, marry than they must not set him at lower end; if they do, he'll go away, though he fast. But put him a top o'the Table, where his place is, and he'll do you forty fine things. He has not been sent for, and sought out for nothing, at your great city-suppers, to put down Coriat, and Cokeley, and been laughed at for his labour; he'll play you all the Puppets i'the town over, and the Players, every company, and his own company too; he spares no body!
