And do desire That as you shall approve of my good parts— Well 't will do— now I will knock— But I will open and enter, 'tis a Solecismo For to be modest in such businesses. Well done my Squire o'th' bottles, stand you there. Sir I do come now from my Lady, ha, ha, he, And do desire, that as you shall approve Of my good parts— ha, ha, he— Well take the glass, and get you home, hum, hum, hum. If I can win the Girl, I'll find a trick For to dispatch old Lively presently And with much ease; a piece of bread and a pin Will do the cure, or else an honest burr Leapt up in butter. Here's a precious rogue, Oh it is Hugo Obligation The precise Scrivener, that these three years' space Has laboured for orders, this same villain Sure is the likeliest man to carry her— But see where Lively stands, I'll not be seen. Being one whom he does use in all his Covenants. But I'll out live them all, the Knaves. I'll now Go taste a bowl of pure refined air Upon yond hill. Yet stay a little, who is this? he's gone. Once more the coast is clear, now I'll adventure Towards the Shepherds door: not far from hence Hid in a thicket I have provided for me A Shepherds robes, these, if I can prevail With this same Stipes for to undertake A Servant of my commendation, Will I straight leap into, and so remain Disguised with him, for (as I understand) The family doth consist of himself and's dog, As for his wife she seldom is at home Being a famous Midwife. Blessed house! Surely in such a place Hippolytus Did hunt away his solitary hours. But I forget (tick tock) why Shepherd, Stipes. How? Not yet awake? Is not this Anteros? How I was dealt withal by nature when She moulded this same lump of clay together, And seasoned it with soul, I know not, but Let me get out o'th' world with obloquy If ever I could find in all the herd Of womankind yet so much excellence As could procure a sigh, or kindle in me The least spark of a desire. 'tis he, his phrase Betrays him. I confess like Whelps or Kitlings Whilst they are young, and suck, and do not know The use of tongue, they're pretty creatures, and They may be looked upon without the danger Of either stool or vomit— but— But— Well Sir Ruffian, I hope to see this Blasphemy of yours against that feathered Deity sent home with a shaft in your bosom for interest ere long. What my little ubiquitary Love-all? my Page of the Smock? my commodity above stairs? my Court Shuttlecock? tossed from one Lady to another? The Kernel of thy glove sweet lack. Take shell and all.
