A Forest moves not, till that forty pound, You had of him, last, be paid. He keeps more stir, For that same petty sum, then for your bound Of six ; and Statute of eight hundred! That will not needs, his bound is currant enough. A Ll this is to make you a Gentleman: I'll have you learn, Son. Wherefore have I placed you With S r . Poul Eitherside, but to have so much Law To keep your own? Beside, he is a Justice, Here i'the Town; and dwelling, Son, with him, You shall learn that in a year, shall be worth twenty Of having stayed you at Oxford, or at Cambridge, Or sending you to the Inns of Court, or France.
