JINGLE

Sweet Mother. If I were to choose a Mother, Thou and no other Should be my Mother. Honourable Mother Indulgence, I must be no more prentice to Apollos trade. Must I? I Like this new Master better then Musaeus. We have no terrible sceptre shaken over us in the Cap taines school. Mother, I have herd that he was hanged that in vented burch. Mother. When you go in your coach up Parnassus hill, I must fit in your lap, must I not? and hold Tisbies left ear in my hand with two fingers thus Must I not? Oh it is the finest Puppy. Indeed Mother, these are very Gentlemanlike feats. I wonder the Captain has not read any le cture to me of them. He has already taught me one soldierly trick of When you are in your Coach, if any horses, though never so well bred (except the horses of Apollos own Chariot) shall presume to take the wall or upper hand of any of your Coach-horses, I must straight leap out of the Coach, and with my poigniard stab one of those uncivil horses through both the ears at once. If I thus venture my self in duty to you, I pray you forget not your duty to me. You know my Fa ther's a man of great worth, and lands, and I am his heir apparent. I pray you in good company, call not me plain son Jingle, or son John, or so, but Master John, or Ma ster Jingle my son, or so. Others will do me the more honour for it. Oh for that Rapier. If I had it, the Captain would teach me in one day and a half, how to wear it, how high the pummel must fit above the chape, and how to wind it about when I salute. Are you vised of that Mother? That is a secret, which the Captain tells me, that I must show my feats to none till I am well practised. And another secret, better then that, is, in my private practising to set up imagined spectators for the whetting of my care and diligence. And therefore sometime I set up on my table, a full auditory of Cushion, Candlestick, Slippars, Bellows, and Chamberpot. As I am a Gentleman Mother, I cannot do with all as yet. You know when you put me to this migh ty Master, you charged me upon your blessing to oh bey him, and follow his instructions, rather then the precepts of Musaeus or Apollo himself. But by the next month, I think the Captain will give me leave to repeat my postures before you. I will do your Mothership the favour to be in the first form of my Spectators. But Mother, I hope you will not fail my Master Captain. You will be a suitor to Apollo for him, that he may continue his school of fine feats here near our door. You were instructing me how to salute a Lady, or so, if she had a Monkey, or so, and wept, or so. Fair ady weep not for your Monkey. to as can be. TO is Clarid nam was courted by the Knight of the sun. My Mother has and that book to me. Si your S le is very h h and lo . O S you have wonderfully dme. Indeed now me thinks espy her clearly w put a lookingglass. But how should I forbid her to weep? I, the Knights name Sorrow? Truly Captain me thinks Implement suggests very would willingly forbid those banes. Twice double worthy dubbed Madame, Whose long tongue no man can sadome. Whose virtues not the longest tongue can fathom. Globy eyes? What's that? Souse not. This word will not down with me. The Lady will think, I use to converse with Tripe wives, if I talk to her of souse. Souse not, &c. Fit. wondrous fit, as my presumed glove for my sweethand. It she wept for sorrow be before, I shall now make her weep for joy to hear this eloquence. It's true. Pray go on. I am to say your Monkey will recover. Master Prompter do your partly. Two-foot, four-foot? how can that be? Hath he six feet? Sometime they trace on all four thus. Paris Garden? Oh sin l Paris they say is a ne Ci ty in France. I am glad he will send me thither. No man can be a complete Gentleman till he have learned their cringes and crinkling i'th hams: which is in ex cellent request to the heavens now adays. I pray you when I am i'th humour of buying Jew else, let me have the refusal of it. Come to me at my lod , and I will lay alt on this birds isle dor fear oh flyingg away. Let oaks and lands fly. I mean to gl tter bright in Diamond dearly dight. What starts is that, &c Oh excel All the world could never have furnished me with such a Tutor. Oh that I could by Metamorphasis be transformed into this eloquent man. Is there south and no n a picktooth? I would rather have picked my teeth with my knife thus, then have run into such a mischief. I'm sure it cost me a Mark, and I God mine arms graven upon the blade, three hobby-horses or, prancing in a field or, b idled and saddled argent. Nay, good sir, I pray you do not cast me off, I'll rather cast away this clownish tool. I will be your Remembrancer to her: She shall protect you, else she is no mother for me. My bargain was to allow you five crowns a more neth, and will you now wiredraw me to thirteen months i'th year? When I was Apollos scholar, sure Musaeus reckoned but quarterly, but twelve months i'th year. I, but our Almanacs every year reckon but twelve months. Who shall be judge between us? I, with my hat thus. To make joust half a circum ference. In my motion, my gold hatband must fallen down, thus. I warrant you, I am old dog at that. And before I dismiss the calf, I give it the gen tle nip or prasye thus. I have it to a hai e. Not my shrug sir? That was my last lesson. Indeed my lookingglass is broken with dancing with it in my hand, to mark the postures of my face when I capered. But I'll buy another. Oh excellent! for this double glass, I'll give you a double fee. But, I pray you sir, wherein is my shrug faulty? I pray you sir let me go with you Let me see. The Misers shrug, the winter shrug, the drowsy shrug, the lousy shrug. I shall hardly carry away all these. Oh the Italian shrug. The e it's. How's that? I shrug with desire to learn it. Oh excellent school of virtue! But when must I use this shrug? This is and oracle to me, I pray you expound by example. Incomparable dogments. Mus us never taught me so good a lesson. The lace is so thick, that I was feign to tug hard at it. I know not what can foul it, unless the smoo thing-iron cast a rusty colour through the paper A Pullets wing. Twice worser ble dubbed. What does she wear a double Ladies e to wear doublets now? I pray you learn me that whi legig trick.
