_Goos_. I detest[6], Sir _Cutt_, I did not thinke he had bin halfe the quintessence of a scholler he is. _Foul_. Slydd there's not one of them truely emphaticall. _Goos_. Yes, I'le ensure you Captaine, there are many of them truely emphaticall: but all your _French_ Ladies are not fatt? are they sir? _Foul_. Fatt sir? why doe ye thinke emphaticall is fatt, sir _Gyles_? _Rud_. Gods my life, brother Knight, didst thou thinke so? hart I know not what it is my selfe, but yet I never thought it was fatt, Ile be sworne to thee. _Foul_. Why if any true Courtly dame had had but this new fashioned sute, to entertaine anything indifferently stuffed, why you should have had her more respective by farre. _Rud_. Nay, theres some reason for that, Captaine, me thinks a true woman should perpetually doate upon a new fashion. _Foul_. Why y'are i'thright sir _Cutt. In nova fert animus mutatas dicere formas_[7]. Tis the mind of man, and woman to affect new fashions; but to our Mynsatives[8] for sooth, if he come like to your _Besognio_,[9] or your bore, so he be rich, or emphaticall, they care not; would I might never excell a dutch Skipper in Courtship, if I did not put distaste into my cariage of purpose; I knew I should not please them. _Lacquay? allume le torche_. |
