Thank you sir. I think you & I are much upon a complexion. He, he, he, you have lost your maidenhead. If it please you Sir to come to my lodging Sir, when you come to London, I shall think myself very much bound to you, I have some pretty books there to lend you, I have Aristotle's Problems in English, and Albertus magnus de secretis, ay, as I am a living soul. Let's take 'em off. Troth Sir you have a very neat suit there, I am much taken with the proportion of your hose, 'tis a deep French Sir. I have a Satin suit to make shortly, and I would bestow, some twenty dozen of gold lace upon it, if I could but purchase the knowledge of such a Tailor as yours, I should think myself beholding to my Stars for it. O your walking faculty, it is the only thing, now adays your Gentlemen practise. Indeed Sir, I think it be time for you to seek out for a new one, for I think your old one will trust you no longer. Should you but see them walk in Paul's, or in the Temple, with what a ravishing garb— you would admire. He, he, you are such a merry man, but indeed I hold that Tobacco is very good for Phlegmatic complexions. Your hilt a little forwarder; very good, your very rapier speaks French; I protest he shows in the graceful carriage of his leg, as though he had been a man of forty plays, fifteen moutings. Nay, I shall do well in time. God's me! you have stained your cloak sir, how will you do? I doubt the Gentleman that lent you it will be angry. Think you so sir? Well, there's no remedy, I must go and relieve my Scholar.— Sir, a word in private, do you know that gentleman? Yes sir, I have read Overbury's Characters; he is a silly fellow in black, I take it. Well sir, however you disesteem him, I could wish you would take heed of him; I wonder he did not strike you all this while. Go to, I say no more, I hold him to be the stoutest man of his hands in all this side o'th' country. Is he so? Why he is sent for far and near by the valiant of the Parishes, to play matches at football: I tell you he is the only Hammershin this Shire can boast of; not a Servingman can keep a leg or an arm whole for him, he has a pension from all the Surgeons within the compass of forty miles, for breaking of bones. Nay for my part sir, let him be as tall a man as he will, I do not care a pin for him, (do you see) for I do not mean to quarrel with him, only I make account to jeer him a little. Well, take heed, say I.

Well, take heed, ſay I.
