You wait well. Let me have no more of this, I observed your icering. Sirrah, I'll have you know, whom I think worthy To sit at my table, be he ne'er so mean, When I am present, is not your companion. Nay she'll preserve what's due to her. This refreshing Follows your flux of laughter. You are master. Of your own will. I know so much of manners As not to inquire your purposes, in a word To me you are ever welcome, as to a house That is your own. Mark that. With reverence Sir, And it like your Worship. Trouble yourself no farther; Dear Madam; my heart's full of zeal, and service, however in my language I am sparing. Come master Marrall. I attend your Worship. I see in your looks you are sorry, and you know me An easy mistress: be merry; I have forgot all. Order, and Furnace come with me, I must give you Further directions. What you please. We are ready. I think I am in a good way. Good Sir; the best way. The certain best way. There are casualties That men are subject too. You are above'em, And as you are already Worshipful, I hope ere long you will increase in Worship, And be Right worshipful. Prithee do not flout me. What I shall be, I shall be. Is't for your ease, You keep your hat off? Ease, and it like your Worship? I hope Jack Marrall shall not live so long, To prove himself such an unmannerly beast, Though it hail hazel Nuts, as to be covered When your worship's present. Is not this a true Rogue? That out of mere hope of a future cozenage Can turn thus suddenly: 'tis rank already. I know your worship's wise, and needs no counsel: Yet if in my desire to do you service, I humbly offer my advice, (but still Under correction) I hope I shall not Incur your high displeasure. No; speak freely. Then in my judgement Sir, my simple judgement, (Still with your Worshipps favour) I could wish you A better habit, for this cannot be, But much distasteful to the noble Lady. (I say no more) that loves you, for this morning To me (and I am but a Swine to her) Before th'assurance of her wealth perfumed you; You savoured not of amber. I do now then? This your Battoon hath got a touch of it. Yet if you please for change I have twenty pounds here Which, out of my true love I presently Lay down at your Worshipps feet: 'twill serve to buy you A riding suit. But where's the horse? My Gelding Is at your service: nay, you shall ride me Before your Worship shall be put to the trouble To walk a foot. Alas, when you are Lord Of this lady's manor (as I know you will be) You may with the lease of glebe land, called knaues-acre, A place I would manure, requite your vassal.

You waite well. Let me haue no more of this, I obseru'd your icering. Sirra, I'le haue you know, whom I thinke worthy To sit at my table, be he ne're so meane, When I am present, is not your companion. Nay shee'le preserue what's due to her. This refreshing Followes your flux of laughter. You are master. Of your owne will. I know so much of manners As not to enquire your purposes, in a word To me you are euer welcome, as to a house That is your owne. Marke that. With reuerence Sir, And it like your Worship. Trouble your selfe no farther; Deare Madam; my heart's full of zeale, and seruice, How euer in my language I am sparing. Come master Marrall. I attend your Worship. I see in your lookes you are sorry, and you know me An easy mistris: bee merry; I haue forgot all. Order, and Furnace come with me, I must giue you Further directions. What you please. We are ready. I thinke I am in a good way. Good Sir; the best way. The certaine best way. There are casualties That men are subiect too. You are aboue'em, And as you are already Worshipfull, I hope e're long you will increase in Worship, And be Right worshipfull. Prethee doe not flowt mee. What I shall be, I shall be. Is't for your ease, You keepe your hat off? Ease, and it like your Worship? I hope Jacke Marrall shall not liue so long, To proue himselfe such an vnmannerly beast, Though it haile Hazell Nutts, as to be couer'd When your Worshipp's present. Is not this a true Rogue? That out of meere hope of a future cosnage Can turne thus suddainely: 'tis ranke already. I know your Worshipp's wise, and needs no counsell: Yet if in my desire to doe you seruice, I humbly offer my aduice, (but still Vnder correction) I hope I shall not Incurre your high displeasure. No; speake freely. Then in my iudgement Sir, my simple iudgement, (Still with your Worshipps fauour) I could wish you A better habit, for this cannot be, But much distastfull to the noble Lady. (I say no more) that loues you, for this morning To me (and I am but a Swine to her) Before th'assurance of her wealth perfum'd you; You sauour'd not of amber. I doe now then? This your Battoone hath got a touch of it. Yet if you please for change I haue twenty pounds here Which, out of my true loue I presently Lay downe at your Worshipps feet: 'twill serue to buy you A riding suite. But where's the horse? My Gelding Is at your seruice: nay, you shall ride me Before your Worship shall be put to the trouble To walke a foote. Alas, when you are Lord Of this Ladies mannour (as I know you will be) You may with the lease of glebe land, call'd knaues-acre, A place I would manure, requite your vassall.
