SENSER

Then once I'll play the Franck . Let me but see how much you both can make, And I'll cast at all, all, every Cross. I will not leave my self one Cross to bless me. Why then at all. How Damned Dice: did ever Gamester see the Like? Was ever known such ? I'll prove this Hat of mine and . Which of you dares say the contrary? , thy Hat is black. I say it's made of Wool. All times are times for winners to give over, But not for them that loose. I'll play till midnight, But I will change my luck. And there's not a more testy waspish Companion then thy self when thou art a looser, and yet thou must be vexing others with, Play patiently Gentlemen, and lets have no swearing. Well remembered, this puts me in mind of and ap pointment I had with a Gentlewoman of some respect. You have come somewhat near me, but touched me not. Master Haringfield, will you bear me company thither? Have you seen the Gentlewoman, M. ? I can assure you, she is a proper G ntlewoman. You should tell them so that know it not. Adjew Gentlemen. Go. Save you Sir, my name is Sencer; I am a Northamp ton-shire Gentleman, born to a thousand pound Land by the year: I love your Daughter, and I am come to crave your goodwill. No Sir, but I hope in time I shall have. I confess my self to have been in that act on, but note the cause, Sir: you could not have pleasured me so much, in giving me a piece of gold, as at the same time to help me to that Counter. Nay, but hear me, sweet Sir Harry: Being somewhat late at Supper at the Miter, the doors were shut at my Lodging, I knocked at three or four places more, all were abed, and fast: Inns, Taverns, none would give me entertainment. Now, would you have had me despaired, and lain in the streets? No, I bethought me of a trick worth two of that, and presently devised, would ving at that time a charge of money about me, to be lodged, and safely too. Marry thus: I had knocked my heals against the ground a good while, knew not where to have a Bed for love nor money. Now what did I? but spying the Watch, went and hit the Constable a good souse on the Ear, who provided me of a lodging presently; and the next day, being brought before your Worship, I was then sent thither back again, where I lay three or four days without control. What say you to me, Lady. Are you angry, sweet Lady, that I asked your Fa the consent? The door! Why Sir? tell not me of your door, nor going out of it, your company is fair and good, and so is your Daughters; I'll stay here this twelvemonth, ever I'll offer to trouble your door. Why Sir, I hope you do not mean to make us dance, that you call for a Taber. Is thy name Taber? And Taber, are you appointed to give us Jack Drum's entertainment? No more of that nec cord, noble Knight, he wishes you nec cord, think of that. Is this to be endured, to call a Knight. Cur, Rogue and Ass.
