Full speech

Yet good uncle. If not a piece, yet spare me half a piece For goodness sake good sir, did you but know My instant want, and to what virtuous use, I would distribute it, I know you would not Hold back your charity. I would bestow a crown in Ballads, Love-pamphlets, and such poetical Rarities, To send down to my Lady Grandmother. She's very old you know, and given much To contemplation; I know she'l send me for they, In Puddings, Bacon, Souse and Pot-Butter Enough to keep my chamber all this winter. So shall I save my father's whole allowance To lay upon my back, and not be forced To shift out from my study for my victuals. I would bestow another crown in Hobby-horses, and Rattles for my Grandfather, Whose legs and hearing fail him very much Then to preserve his sighed a Jack-a-lent, In a green sarsnet suit, he'l make my father To send me one of Scarlet, or he'll cry His eyes out for't. Do it then, I'll follow you and hear the cause. Exit.
