I cannot tell; try me: I think I am not So utterly, of an o'er un-to-be-melted, But I can do myself good, on occasions. Strike in than, for your part. Mr. Fitz-dottrel If I transgress in point of manners, afford me Your best construction; I must beg my freedom From your affairs, this day. How, Sr. It is In succour of this Gentleman's occasions, My kinsman— You'll not do me that affront, Sr. I am sorry you should so interpret it, But, Sir, it stands upon his being invested In a new office, he has stood for, long: Master of the Dependences! A place Or my projection too, Sir, and hath met Much opposition; but the State, now, see's That great necessity of it, as after all Their writing, and their speaking, against Duels, They have erected it. His book is drawn— For, since, there will be differences, daily, 'Twixt Gentlemen; and that the roaring manner Is grown offensive; that those few, we call The civil men o' the sword, abhor the vapours; They shall refer now, hither, for their process; And such as trespass 'gainst the rule of Court, Are to be fined— In troth, a pretty place! A kind of arbitrary Court 'twill be, Sir. I shall have matter for it, I believe, E'er it be long: I had a distaste. But now, Sir, My learned council, they must have a feeling, They'll part, Sir, with no books, without the hand-gout Be oiled, and I must furnish. If it be money, To me straight. I am Mine, Mint and Exchequer, To supply all. What is't? a hundred pound? Not, th' Harpey, now, stands on a hundred pieces. Why, he must have 'em, if he william. To morrow, Sir, Will equally serve your occasions,— And therefore, let me obtain, that you will yield To timing a poor Gentleman's distresses, In terms of hazard.— By no means! I must Get him this money, and william.— Sir, I protest, I'd rather stand engaged for it myself: Than you should leave me. O good Sr. do you think So coursely of our manners, that we would, For any need of ours, be pressed to take it: Though you be pleased to offer it. Why, by heaven, I mean it! I can never believe less. But we, Sir, must preserve our dignity, As you do publish yours. By your fair leave, Sir. As I am a Gentleman, if you do offer To leave me now, or if you do refuse me, I will not think you love me. Sir, I honour you. And with just reason, for these noble notes, Of the nobility, you pretend too! But, Sir— I would know, why? a motive (he a stranger) You should do this? You'll mar all with your fineness) Why, that's all one, if 'twere, Sir, but my fancy. But I have a Business, that perhaps I'd have Brought to his office.
