Why now my dream is out, I lay last night Upon my back, and was adreamed of fighting. Sir, will you please to know these Gentlemen, My brother, and his Tutor. I must crave pardon, Is this your brother? Yes. I must embrace him. I never saw a man in all my life I so affected on the sudden, sure There's some Nobility does lurk within him That's not perspicuous to every eye: He promises so fair, I should have known him To be your brother, had you not told me so. Your method now of thanks. Right Noble Sir, I have so often times been honoured, And so much madefied. That word I taught him. With the distilling influence of your bounty. That I must blame myself, and my hard fortune, That has envied me the ability To render satisfaction. Very well. Sir you must pardon him, he is but a Novice, Newly initiated, and 'tis his fault, That he is bashful. Is that all? I'll take him To Court with me, where he shall be acquainted With Pages, Laundresses, and waiting women, Shall teach him impudence enough. 'Tis my desire. His Tutor has taught him the Theory. Only he wants the practic. I pray Sir, Without offence, may I demand of you, What do you profess? Why Sir, any thing Within the compass of humanity. To speak, or act, no Pythagorean Could ever think upon so many shapes As I will put you in; the French, the Spanish, Or the Italian garb; not any one, But jointly all, I'll make a perfect man Out of the shreds of them. Besides the riding Of the great Mare; nay Sir, his very carvings, Even to the discecting of a Capon. Are Lectures of Anatomy. I shall Be proud to know him. Now I collect myself, Sure I have scene you Sir in Padua, Or some face near like yours. I have indeed, Received letters of invitation From one, that's son to a Magnifice, Who is informed that I am very like him. There was the mistake then. Sir, had I power o'er my occasions, which now are urgent, I would most willingly employ the time In survey of your virtues. Sir, it has been The scope I ever aimed at in my travels, To seek out, and converse with such as have With foreign observations advanced Their natural endowments, and I thank My Stars, I have been ever fortunate To be beloved amongst them, and that you Are one, I make no question. Sir, you need not. My mind was ever larger, than to be Comprised within the limits of my Country. And I congratulate my Fate, in that I come so near the virtue of that planet, That ruled at my Nativity; whose nature, Which e'er it be, is ever to be wandering.
