Full speech
God's-light and my father had not been and Ass, I might have been able to have writ this down. That's true indeed. By the structure of your breasts, And by the si ken knot that ties your hair Upon the top of your crown, I protest it. Right Noble Sir, I have so often times been honoured, And so much madefied. I shall be ruled By you in any thing. Some 3000. a year or thereabouts. Alas I valve it not, it'll serve to trifle In pins, and gloves, and toys, and banquets. Indeed the spring of my courtship Has been somewhat backward: but I will strive To redeem it; I have some seeds a growing, Shall make m'ere long, spread Like a Gentleman, And you shall say so too. Nay where you do or no, it's no great matter. My name's Capritio. There be in Town of the Capritio's, Came from our house, that shall approve it so. Can you do it? Will that do it? Why this is rare indeed. Who I? ods lid I am not such and Ass, To go amongst them, Like your volunteers, That frighted worse at home with debt and danger, Travel abroad i'th summer to see service, And then come home i'th winter, to drink Sack. I am none of those, i'll hardly trust my self In the Artillery yard, for fear of mischief. Alas sir, I had rather look Like and Ass, as I am still. Would I could tell how to get out again. Amongst the rest, there was a blink-eyed woman Set a great dog upon me. No, we had not our wits about us then. My brother talked of building of a sconce, And straight they seazd our cloaks for the reckoning. Oh good your Worship, hang us up at home first, Let us endure the rack or the strappado, We do submit us to your Worships censure. Lady, the Fates have led me to your service, To know my self unworthy of your favours. Yet let me so far win upon your bounty, That what I utter in humility, May not cause my contempt, or have my love Shaked off, because 'tis ripe, but let me hang by The stalk of your mercy, the remnant of whose life Lies in your power. With the distilling influence of your bounty. That I must blame my self, and my hard fortune, That has envied me the ability To render satisfaction. I am practising. Lady, by your leave I will. I am appointed, Brother. Capritie. Of Norfolk. And then at the Justices. We met with a party of the enemies, Took all we had from us, and then it cost us Forty shillings in fees at the Justices. The old boy and I Grew to be kin at last. I am glad ther's no man cheated but himself. If I had spoke to her, the brunt were passed. Lady advance the p nnacle of your thoughts, And enlarge the quadrangle of your heart, To entertain a man of men. I'll buy me a dancing horse that can caper, And have him called Capritio, by my name. Brother come hither. Stand for a watch: here take this Diamond: Nay, do not wrong me, I have sworn you shall, Were it as good as that which was made precious By B renices finger, which Agrippa Gave his incestuous sister, you should have it. What do you think I am and Ass? no sir, 'Tis he has taught me wit. What should I lose my Mistress for a toy? Sure, this is the second partly of the Leager. It best for me, to hide me in my cabin. Do we take, or are we taken? She is according to My hearts desire, sir. May not a man buy a brazen face, think you, Among all this Company? counsel; I still scorned that.
Plot summary
Plot — Holland's Leaguer
Six years ago, Faustina’s father sent her abroad to keep her away from her love, Fidelio, and made her swear not to marry for seven years. Now the old man is dead, she has returned to London, known only to Fidelio, but insists on keeping her oath for the last remaining year. Her brother Philautus is in love with himself, which distresses his friends and offends his wife, but gives his servant Ardelio the opportunity to steal from him by conveying away property into storage at an accomplice’s house. Fidelio plans to make him fall in love with Faustina; this will both cure him and test her fidelity. He explains it to Faustina as a plan to humiliate a lord who has cast aspersions on women. Philautus makes advances to Faustina on the assumption that all women are libidinous and enjoy being raped from time to time; but he is impressed by her militant chastity, and accedes to her demand that he prove his honour in battle. He later returns from the wars, cured of narcissism, and asks Faustina’s pardon for his earlier insolence. She identifies herself as his sister, and he gives his blessing to her marriage to Fidelio; so she agrees to abandon her oath before the seven years are out. On learning that Ardelio is a villain, Philautus dismisses him. He goes to collect the stolen goods, only to find that his partner in crime will not acknowledge that the items even exist. The ensuing argument is overheard, and the miscreants are both arrested, In the sub-plot, Agurtes intends to cheat the courtly name-dropper Trimalchio by introducing him to a young heiress - who is, in reality, his daughter and lifelong accomplice Millicent.
