To her sir, to her, I dare sware she loves you. T'is but your misconceit, try her again: You know by course all women must be coy; To her again, then she may happily yield. Not I, in faith. She's too swift for me: Why this is the right course of gullery, What did you mean having so fair and aim So fondly to let slip so fair a game? Bowdler become a man for maids will stand, And then strike home, art thou not young and lusty, The minion of delight, fair from thy birth, Adonis play-pheere, and the pride of earth? News, news, news. By Jesu the rarest dancing in christendom. At a wedding in Gracious street. Master Berry ! Sir, I did mean to visit you at home, Not to pay down the money, but entreat Too months forbearance. You know at first the debt was none of mine, I was a surety, not the principal: Beside, the money that was borrowed Miscarried in the venture; my friend died, And once already have you prisoned me, To my great charge, almost my overthrow, And somewhat raised the debt by that advantage: These things considered, you may well forbear For two months space, so small a sum as this. Alls one; my heart shall be as light as fire. Come, shall we go? I know his worship made it, 'tis so excellent, How now; what ail you sir? Prithee lets hear it. Wounds, where? Cripple, shall we have your company? By your leave master Flower, Berry I am arrested at your suit. Stay master Berry, I have brought you bail. Why M. Berry, 'tis well known to you, I am a gentleman, though by misfortune, My ventures in the world have somewhat failed me: Say that my wealth disables my desert, The difference of our bload supplies that want? What though my lands be morgagde, if you please, The dowry you intend to give your daughter, May well redeem them. You perhaps imagine I will be wild, but I intend it not. What shall I say, if you will give consent? As you redeem my lands, so I my time ill spent Mean to redeem; with frugal industry, I'll be your counsels pupil, and submit My follies to your will, mine to your wit. I am love-bound to her, to you in duty, You conquer me with kindness, she with beauty. What M. Bowdler, will it never be otherwise? Still, still a hunting, every day wenching? No, I dare swear the Gentlewoman means well. Than you sir! he lives not. You only excepted, the world beside Cannot afford more exquisite dancers Than are now capering in that bridal house. Come, you lose time, supper is done long since, And they are now a dancing. Spoke Like a gallant, spoke Like a gentleman, spoke Like your self: Now do I see some sparks of manhood in you, Keep in that key, keep in the self same song, I'll gage my head yowl have her love ere long. Exeunt.
