_Burr_. Aye, aye, a good honest young fellow; but no conjurer; he
and I are very kind. _Fail_. Egad, we two have a constant revenue out of him: He would now be admitted suitor to my Lady Constance Nonsuch, my Lord Nonsuch's daughter; our neighbour here in Fleetstreet. _Burr_. Is the match in any forwardness? _Fail_. He never saw her before yesterday, and will not be brought to speak to her this month yet. _Burr_. That's strange. _Fail_. Such a bashful knight did I never see; but we must move for him. _Bib_. They say, here's a great dinner to be made to-day here, at your cousin Trice's, on purpose for the interview. _Burr_. What, he keeps up his old humour still? _Fail_. Yes, certain; he admires eating and drinking well, as much as ever, and measures every man's wit by the goodness of his palate. _Burr_. Who dines here besides? _Fail_. Jack Loveby. |
