You observe very well, sweet Virgin; for his Nativity is his Doublet, which is the upper part Of his suit; and his name is in's breeches, for That part which is his name, he defiles many times. Your observation is corrupt, Sir; Let me show mine Own Tale; I say, sweet Beauty, my name is Speedewell, my Godfather by his bounty being an Old Soldier, and having served in the wars as far as Bulloyne, therefore called my name Godfrey; a Title of large renown; my wealth and wit has Added to those, the paraphrase of Knighthood; So that my name in the full longitude is called Sir Godfrey Speedwell, a name of good experience. If every quality you have be as large in relation s Your name Sir, I should imagine the best of them, rather Than hear them reported. You say well, sweet Modesty, a good imagination is good, And shows your good experience. Nay, if names can do any good, I beseech you observe Mine; My name is Lambskin, a thing both hot and harmless. On Sir, I would not interrupt you, because you Should be brief. My Godfather seeing in my face some notes of disposition, In my Cradle did give me the title of Innocent, which I Have practised all my life time; and since my father's Decease, my wealth has purchased me in the vanguard Of my name, the paraphrase of gentility; So that I am called Master Innocent Lambskin. In good time; and what Trade was your father, Sir? My father was of an Occupation before he was a Tradesman; for, as I have observed in my fathers And mother's report, they set up together in Their youth; my father was a Starch-maker, and my Mother a Laundress; so being partners, they did Occupy long together before they were married; Then was I borne. What, before your father was married? Truly a little after, I was the first fruits, as they say; Then did my father change his Copy, and set up A Brewhouse. I then came your wealth in, Sir. Your observation's good; I have carried the Tallies At my girdle seven years together with much Delight and observation; for I did ever love to Deal honestly in the Nick. A very innocent resolution. Your experience may see his course education; but to The purpose, sweet Female; I do love that Face of yours. Sir, if you love nothing but my face, I cannot sell it From the rest. You may see his slender observation; sweet Virgin, I do love your lower parts better than your face. Sir you do interrupt, and thwart my love. I Sir, I am your Rival; and I will thwart your love. For your love licks at the face, and my love Shall be arsy-varsy to yours. I would desire no better wooing of so bad suitors. Mistake me not kind Heart.
