For my part I honour any Man, that marries my sister. Sir Philip, and my noble brother in expectation, I pray embrace my Governor, Captain Anvil, here; and give him and me our gloves: you shall find him worthy your acquaintance. He has wit, I can tell you; and breaks as many good jests as all the Wits, Fits, and Fancies about the Town, and has trained up many young gentlemen, both here, and in diverse parts beyond the Seas. He was dry nurse (that's one of his own jests upon himself) to the English youth, a dozen years together beyond Sea: And now he is my Governor, and I find profit in it: you cannot think what an ass I was before I met with him: And I mean to travel with him, two or three years hence, myself. In the mean time, he shall spend a hundred a year out of What Widgines purse. Shalt efaith Governour, what ailest thou? art thou not right? I shall find a time to right myself, I doubt not. But will you travel at these years Mr widgeon? Will you not call me brother? Two days hence when you have married my sister, you must. Must he not, Governor? Yes an't please him. He ails something. Well then, Brother two days hence, will you travel? I some two years hence, mistake me not. I know I am but young yet: beside I mean to marry first as other young heirs do. And then towry-lowry, faith, my noble Governor, and I! 'twill be brave going into France then: I may learn halfe their fashions before I go, and bate so much, being taught at when I come there. What's the matter Governor? thou wert not wont to be thus. Is thy money all gone? Here's five pieces to buy pomps against my sister's wedding. Have I eyes and ears, and can think of trifling Money matters? Pox on't I had forgot. That scurvy surly gentleman angered him ere while, and put him out of patience. How the hot foam of his rage boils out at his Mouth▪ If I durst go so near the heat of him I would skim the pot. If I try not this Tridewell; put him to the dearest trial of his life.— I there 'tis, he will never come to himself till he beat, or be beaten. Let me have these knocked out; these pulled off; these plucked out, and these sawed off. I must venture on him. Nay Governor: pray thee consider.— The time and place you mean. Think you he durst have done it, but in his kinsman's house; he and the multitude of his servants present. ay, and we know not how many armed men in the next room. Hark Governor.
