You will not quarrel with your friend's Sir, will you? friend's Sir? I know not whether you be my friend, or no; I am sure you use no friendly language. Prithee Scholar, tail off Mr. Mongrel a little, he'll never leave now he has drawn blood once. Come, you're a fool; the Gentleman's of worth, and our friend. Nay I have done now, I did but try how I could quarrel a little. Faith Sir, this would have made a fair show in a Country Alehouse. Nay Sir, as soon as my father dies, (which will not be long I hope, for he lies sick now) I'll go to London, and learn to quarrel there, for a year or two, and then come down again, and practise amongst my Tenants. Why Anteros; pray thee relieve me. St, not a word, for a million of worlds. Hark you Scholar. I hope you are not angry? Angry old Bully? he had a hard heart, that would be angry with thee. 'Tis as I tell you, his wound has been searched by a very skilful Surgeon, and his Pia matter is found to be perished, and when that's gone, you know there is small hope. None at all Sir, I've read it in Magirus, Cousin Mongrel, come hither quickly— Now, now, how greedily the Scholar sucks it in. What's the matter? but is this true? As true as you're a Gentleman. He never emptied a buttery pot after a match at football, with greater appetite, than he devours this gullery. Take heed what you do, the least protraction is full of danger. O the Lord! what will become of us? Loveall stir the door a little— passion O me! there's somebody at the door, look, look, creep into this chest, I'll shut you in. anywhere good Sir. Where will you hide me sir? I'll go into the chest too. Here's hardly room enough for myself. Stay, stay, stay. In good sooth Mr. Constable here's no such men this way— what say you, you threepenny crack crown? I tell you, they have already taken horse. Here, here, here, creep in, stoop man, stoop. Ha, ha, he. Why so, we're now at Liberty, farewell. My sister's wrongs, and sorrows call for me, And shall be answered. Well adieu sweet Sir. I must be sudden, or I'm lost for ever. By this time sure my father melts (why shepherd.) The ample benefit, that shall accrue Unto him by this worthy match, this instant Arrives at 's weather-beaten apprehension; (I do but know it, am but sure of it) O, what a dainty pleasant thing it is For to be free from care! to sleep a night, Without the dreaming of a Creditor, Or the disturbance of that gobbling Forfeit! It cannot but be so, upon my soul, He trades in this same cogitation, This very minute— Stipes. che ti venga l' cancro. Well, if he be above ground, I will find him, Or lose myself, I'll seek him in the pastures.
