SAVILLE

A comelier wear I wusse it is then those dangling slops. By your favour Sir you shall pardon me. Sir you forget one, who I am. Sir I hope you will not make so little of me. Nay then you stir my duty, and I must tell you. Good Sir remember. Nay then I must unfold your Brother's pleasure, these be the lessons Sir, he left behind him. I leave to keep my house 300 pounds a year; and my Brother to dispose of it. While he bears himself Like a Gentleman, and my credit falls not in him. Mark that my good young Sir, mark that. Next it is my will, that he be furnished (as my bro there) with attendance, apparel, and the obedience of my people. Next, that my Steward keep his place, and power, and bound my brother's wildness with his care. This is your Brother's will, and as I take it, he makes no mention of such company as you would draw un to you. Captains of Gallifoists, such as in a clear day have seen Calais, fellows that have no more of God, then their oaths comes to: they wear swords to reach fire at a Play, and get there the oiled end of a pipe for their guerdon: then the remnant of your regiment are wealthy Tobacco Merchant's, that set up with one ounce, and break for three; together with a forlorn hope of Poets, and all these look Like Car thusians, things without linen: Are these fit company for my Mafters Brother? Good Sir. Are you my Master's Brother? Then God help all, I say. Sir you will take my purse. I do believe you. Has given himself into the hands of varlets, not to be carved out. Sir are these the pieces? Of your gold you mean Sir. In's nose. 'Tis much. 'Tis even enough a conscience; fit down, and rest you, you are at the end of the world already. Would you had as good a living Sir as this Fellow could lie you out of has a notable gift in't. And you the clothes, and meat, and money, you have a goodly generation of um, pray let um multiply, your Brother's house is big enough, and to say truth, ha too much Land, hang it dirt. Good Sir let me expound it. But will you keep no house Sir? Oh miserable house, and miserable I that live to see it. Good Sir keep some meat. What shall become of me, no chimney smoking? Well prodigal, your brother will come home. Oh my head, Oh my heart, what a noise and change is here; would I had been cold ith mouth before this day, and never have lived to see this dissolution. He that lives within a mile of this place, had as good sleep in the perpetual noise of and iron mill. Ther's a dead Sea of drink ith Sellor, in which goodly vessels lie wract, and in the middle of this deluge ap pears the tops of lagons and black jacks, Like Churches drown ith marshes. Good Sir consider. Nay rather kill me, theres but a layman lost. Good Captain do your office. Sure Sir I cannot dance with your Gentlewoman, they are too light for me, pray break my head, and let me go. Some to deliver me I hope. Yes Sir. Yes forsooth Sir. I would be glad, Sir, to do my weak endeavour. In time the sturdy Oak Sir. Forgive me Sir and isle be any thing. You shall neither will nor choose sir. My Master is a wonderful fine Gentleman has a fine state, a very sine state Sir, I am his steward Sir, and his man. Farewell Gentleman, Gentleman. Gentleman. Farewell Gentleman. Drunk as I live boys. All in satin? Oh sweet Loveless. Sir, I come from young M r Loveless. Indeed his brother's sunk Sir, God be with him, a pe risht man indeed, and drowned at Sea. Untimely, Sir, at sea. Yes, Sir. Yes, and sent me to you; for he is now to be knighted. What says your Worship to this money? A thousand Sir? He's here himself Sir, and can better tell you. Good Sir look afore you, he'll work you out of all else: if you fell all your Land, you have sold your Country, and then you must to sea to seek your brother, and there lie pickled in a poudering tub, and break your teeth with bis kets and hard beef that must have watering Sir: and where's your 300. pounds a year in drink then? I you' e tun up the straights you may, for you have no calling for drink there, but with a Cannon, nor no scoring but on your ships sides, and then if you escape with life, and take a faggot boat, and a bottle of Vsq baugh, come home Po e men, Like a type oh Theames Str to stinking of pitch and poor John. I cannot tell Sir, I woul be that to S . You will not fell Sir? Good Sir have a care. Sir, for my old Master's sake let my Farm be excepted, if I become his tenant I am undone, my children beggars, and my wife God knows what: consider me deer Sir. Now do I sensibly begin to feel my self a rascal: would I could teach a School, or beg, or lie well, I am utterly undone; now he that taught thee to deceive and cou sen, take thee to his mercy: so be it. Yes Sir. I am ready Sir to be undone, when you shall call me to't. I shall have less to do, thats all, ther's half a dozen of my friends ith fields, sunning against a bank, with half a breech among um, I shall be with um shortly. The care and continual vexation of being rich eat up this rascal. What shall become of my poor family? they are no sheep, and they must keep them selves. Heres your poor friend, and Savil Sir. It's such, I dare not show it shortly sir. The Devil guide it downward: would there were in't and acre of the great broom field he bought, to sweep your dirty conscience, or to choke you, it's all one to me Usurer. Good Sir consider who you left me too. Good Sir forgive me, and but hear me speak. I will sir, if you will have it so. Now must I hang my self, my friends will look for't. Eating and sleeping, I do despise you b that now: I will run mad first, and if that get not pity, I'll drown my self, to a most dismal ditty. Exit Savill. Yes he did send for your worship sir. Alas Sir I know nothing, nor am employed beyond my hours of eating. My dancing days are done sir. If you consider me in little, I am with your worships reue rence sir, a rascal: one that upon the next anger of your brother, must raise a sconce by the high way, and sell svvitches. My wife is learning new sir to weave inckle. My eldest boy is half a rouge already, he was born burr sten, and your worship knows, that is a pretty step to men's capassions. My youngest boy I purpose sir to bind for ten years to a Ioaler, to draw under him, that he may show us mercy in his function. Beggars must be no choosers: In every place (I take it) but the stocks. 'Tis true, you were the first that told me of it, I do re member yet in tears, you told me you would have whores, and in that passion sir, you broke our thus; Thou miserable man, re penned, and brew three strikes more in a hogshead. 'Tis noon ere we be drunk now, and the time can tarry for no man. Will you but be so gracious to me sir? I shall be bound. I am poor indeed sir. God quit you sir, and keep you long in this mind. Would all his damned tribe were as tender hearted. I be seech you let this gent. join with you in the recovery of my Keys; I Like his good beginning sir, the while I'll pray for both your worships. Sir will it please you to remember me: my keys good sir. Now sir, strike in. If cuer I be taken drunk, or whoring, Take off the biggest key i'th bunch, and open My head with it Sir: I humbly thank your worships. I know not where I am, I am so glad: your worship is the welcomest man alive; upon my knees I bid you welcome home: here would been such a hu y, such a din, such dismal worser king, swea ring, and whoring, 'thas almost made me mad: We have all hued in a continual Turneball street; Sir blessed be Heaven, that sent you safe again. Now shall I eat and go to bed again. Sir, your father's old friends hold it the sounder course for your body and estate, to stay at home, and marry, and propagate, and govern in your Country, then to tram well for diseases, and return following the Court in a nightcap, and die without issue. Then I care not.
