You that are grown a Time-observer, you With that fine pocket Saturn in your hand; Look this way. But are these your Champions? They are my Conquerors, if you please: but where are your employments? They'll be here immediately. No more. Love-all, please you to take notice Of these Gentlemen, they are of rank, and my friends. Sweet Sir, my only wish is that my fortunes were but of growth, to show in what degree of honour, I hold any whom you shall vouchsafe to call a friend.— I thirst to know you Sir. Do not swear yet. Why so? Nay as you please. Sir I desire you to pardon me, I must not swear yet, my General will give the word when I must vent. 'Tis no great matter, if you throw away Cudnigs, Or beswiggers, or some such innocent oath upon him. Say you so? When will he come towards me? Sir may I know your name? My name Sir? why Sir? I am not ashamed of my name Sir. My name is Sir M. Mung. Sir. A poor elder brother Sir. And yet not very poor neither Sir. Heir to six, or seven hundred a year Sir. My father is a Gentleman Sir. I have an Uncle that is a justice of Peace Sir. I can borrow his white Mare when I please sir. She stood him in thirty pieces sir. A Mongrel Sir? Only be sure you be not dashed. Ashamed of your name, say you? You come of a very great house, I'll assure you; I know many of the mongrels that are able to dispend, yearly, more than I am willing to speak of at this time; and which keep their Sons as Gentlemanlike, at the Inns o'th' Court with as good clothes on their backs, as rich belts, and as fair guilt rapiers, as the best Gentlemen o'the Land Sir— O well said, come lift up bravely now. 'tis a hundred to nothing, but these are they, look to your standing, and be sure you suffer him to offer first; you have the more advantage. Let me alone, if I do not utterly confound him, let me never wear good suit of clothes more, I have not read the Arcadia for nothing. Anteros, a couple of friends of mine. Sir I shall count myself fortunate in their acquaintance; Sweet Sir— worthy Sir. Sans compliment monsieur, je suis, vostre tres-humble varlet. There's one of his parcels gone, he has but three more in all the world. Signior mio molto honorifico, per testa del mio padre, io non he altro, advffirirui, che me stesso, però fate capital di me, è splendetemi per quel chio vaglio. does he speak French Sir? How think you Sir? Nay but well I mean? O admirably, take heed what you do, he's a great Traveller I tell you. God's me! is he so? I'll not meddle with him then, I would have tickled him else. Signior, io mi terrei ricco s' io hanessi solamente le decime de i vostri favori.
