She'll take no note of that, but of his message. Devil! How like you him, Sir. Pace, go a little. Let's see you move. He'll serve, Sr, give it him: And let him go along with me, I'll help To present him, and it. Look, you do sirrah, Discharge this well, as you expect your place. Do ' you hear, go on, come of with all your honours. I would feign see him, do it. Trust him, with it; Remember kissing of your hand, and answering With the French-time, in flexure of your body. I could now so instruct him— and for his words— I'll put them in his mouth. O, but I have 'em O' the very Academies. Sir, you'll have use for 'em, Anon, yourself, I warrant you: after dinner, When you are called. 'Slight, that'll be just playtime. It cannot be, I must not loose the play! Sir, but you must, if she appoint to sit. And, she's precedent. 'Slid, it is the Devil! And, 'twere his Dam too, you must now apply Yourself, Sir, to this, wholly; or loose all. If I could but see a piece— Sr. Never think on't. Come but to one act, and I did not care— But to be seen to rise, and go away, To vex the Players, and to punish their Poet— Keep him in awe! But say, that he be one, Wi' not be awed! but laugh at you. How than? Than he shall pay for ' his dinner himself. Perhaps, He would do that twice, rather than thank you. Come, get the Devil out of your head, my Lord, (I'll call you so in private still) and take Your Lordship i' your mind. You were, sweet Lord, In talk to bring a Business to the Office. Yes. Why should not you, Sr, carry it o' yourself, Before the Office be up? and show the world, You had no need of any man's direction; In point, Sir, of sufficiency. I speak Against a kinsman, but as one that tenders Your graces good. I thank you; to proceed— To Publications: ha' your Deed drawn presently. And leave a blank to put in your Feoffees One, two, or more, as you see cause— I thank you Hearty, I do thank you. Not a word more, I pray you, as you love me. Let me alone. That I could not think o' this, as well, as he? O, I could beaten my infinite blockhead—! Come, we must this way. How far is't. Hard by here Over the way. Now, to achieve this ring, From this same fellow, that is to assure it; Before he give it. Though my Spanish Lady, Be a young Gentleman of means, and scorn To share, as he doth say, I do not know How such a toy may tempt his Ladyship: And therefore, I think best, it be assured.
