Give me my fan there. Fair servant, I'll thank you a day hence, when the date of your salutation comes forth. I, you needs not tell me that sir, I do think you do prize a rush before my love. Would we might hear it once. Upon the Viol de Gambo you mean? Nay rather by the fingers. Here Servant, if you will play, come. Nay, I cannot stay to Dance after your Pipe. Is your Tobacco perfumed Sir? that you swear by the sweet Smoke? Oh, peace I pray you; I love not the breath of a Wood cocks head. Not altogether so Sir; but (as it were Fatal to their fol lies that think to grace themselves with taking Tobacco, when they want better entertainment) you see your Pipe bears the true form of a Woodcocks head. It's best leaving of you in Admiration, Sir Why I thought Sir Puntarvolo, you had been gone your Voyage? It's most Courtlike spoken sir; but how might we do to have a sighed of your Dog and Cat? And not your Cat? how dare you trust her behind you Sir? I'll give you some Water for her eyes: when do you go sir? What's he, gentle Monsieur Brisk? not that Gen tleman? Oh Sir Puntarvolo, you must think every man was not born to have my Servant Brisks feature. Oh Monsieur Brisk, be not so Tyrannous to confine all Wits within the compass of your own: Not find the sparks of a Gentleman in him, if he be a Gentleman? Do you believe so? Why I can find sparks of a Gen tleman in you Sir. Like enough sir: but would I might see this wonder you talk of: may one have a sighed of him for any reasonable sum? What, and shall we see him Clown it? Beshrew me, he Clowns it properly indeed. Beautiful and it please you sir, but not lusty. Oh excellent: why Gallants, is this he cannot be Deciphered? they were very blear-witted i'faith that could not discern the Gentleman in him. Do I sir? why if you had any true Court-judgement in the carriage of his eye, and that inward power that forms his countenance, you might perceive his counterfeiting as clear as the noon day: Alas; Nay if you would have tried my Wit indeed, you should never have told me he was a Gen tleman, but presented him for a true Clown indeed; and then have seen if I could have Deciphered him. Nay out of doubt he does well, for a Gentleman to imitate; but I warrant you, he becomes his Natural carriage of the Gentleman, much better than his Clownery. Faith as easily as may be: not Decipher him, quoth you? Why Gallants, let me laugh at you a little: was this your device, to try my judgement in a Gentleman? What if he were not a man, ye may as well say? nay if your Worships could Gull me so indeed, you were wiser than you are taken for. Oh Sir, you are very pleasurable. Oh, you're goodly Beagles! Out, you fool you.
Plot summary
Plot — Every Man Out of His Humor
Cordatus and Mitis are brought by Asper to watch a satirical play, in which he is to be an actor, playing malicious Macilente. They keep up a running commentary between, and sometimes during, the scenes. Each character in the play has a ‘humour’ or obsession to be purged. Sogliardo wants to be a gentleman: he takes instruction from Carlo Buffone and purchases himself a coat of arms; he is eventually used to humiliate the conceited court lady Saviolina by showing that she cannot tell true gentility from false. The farmer Sordido is hoarding grain, and resists a court order to sell it because he is gambling on the price going up after a bad harvest; when this does not happen, he tries to hang himself, and repents on hearing the comments of the rustics who cut him down. Puntarvolo plays chivalric wooing games of mock- adultery with his wife, and plans to travel to Constantinople with his wife and dog, venturing money on their safe return; but he loses the inclination when Macilente poisons the dog. Fungoso tries to imitate the courtier Brisk’s fashionable suit, but is continually frustrated because Brisk keeps changing his clothes. The uxorious Deliro seeks advice on how best to please his contrary wife, Fungoso’s sister. Shift, wanting to be known for a machismo he doesn’t really have, represents himself as a robber, but the threat of hanging forces him to admit the truth. Carlo Buffone has a humour of talking: at a tavern, he performs a comic dialogue between two cups, playing both parts himself, and Puntarvolo seals his mouth with wax. The affray brings the Constable, who is minded to arrest them all but is content tv take only Brisk. Fungoso, penniless from his clothing purchases, is left to pay the tavern bill, and has to be rescued by bis brother-in-law, who also calls in the mortgage on ===== PAGE 162 ===== Brisk’s lands; the courtier is left in prison for debts totalling £13,000, curing him of his humour. Macilente is purged of his malign humour by the sight of the Queen.
