Lady, I understand you; And rest most happy in your choice, believe it, I'll be a careful pilot to direct Your yet uncertain bark to a port of safety. So shall your Honour save two lives, and bind us Your slaves for ever. I am in the act rewarded, Since it is good, howe'er you must put on And amorous carriage towards me, to delude Your subtle father. I am proof to that. Now break we off our conference. Sir Giles. Where is Sir Giles? My noble Lord; and how Does your Lordship find her? Apt Sir Giles, and coming, And I like her the better. So do I too. Yet should we take forts at the first assault 'twere poor in the defendant, I must confirm her With a love letter or two, which I must have Delivered by my page, and you give way to't. With all my soul, a towardly Gentleman, Your hand good master Alworth, know my house Is ever open to you. 'Twas shut till now. Well done, well done, my honourable daughter: thouart so already: know this gentle youth, And cherish him my honourable daughter. I shall with my best care. A Coach. More stops Before we go to dinner! o my guts! If I find welcome You share in it; if not I'll back again, Now I know your ends, for I come armed for all Can be objected. How! the Lady Alworth! And thus attended! No, I am a dolt; The spirit of lies had entered me. Peace Patch, 'Tis more than wonder! an astonishment That does possess me wholly! Noble Lady, This is a favour to prevent my visit, The service of my life can never equal. My Lord, I laid wait for you, and much hoped You would have made my poor house your first Inn: And therefore doubting that you might forget me, Or too long dwell here having such ample cause In this unequalled beauty for your stay; And fearing to trust any but myself With the relation of my service to you, I borrowed so much from my long restraint, And took the air in person to invite you. Your bounties are so great they rob me, Madam Of words to give you thanks. Good Sir Giles Overreach. How dost thou Marrall? liked you my meat so ill, You'll dine no more with me? I will when you please And it like your Ladyship. When you please master Greedy If meat can do it, you shall be satisfied, And now my Lord, pray take into your knowledge This Gentleman, howe'er his outsid's course. His inward linings are as fine, and fair, As any man's: wonder not I speak at large: And howsoe'er his humour carries him To be thus accoutred; or what taint soever For his wild life hath stuck upon his fame, He may erelong, with boldness rank himself With some that have contemned him. Sir Giles Overreach If I am welcome bid him so.
