_Pe._ You're in the Right on't, you've serv'd me in my own Kind.
_Jo._ As I sleep not for every Body, so I am not at Home to every Body, but for Time to come shall always be at Home to you. _Pe._ Methinks you live the Life of a Snail. _Jo._ Why so? _Pe._ Because you keep always at Home and never stir abroad, just like a lame Cobler always in his Stall. You sit at Home till your Breech grows to your Seat. _Jo._ At Home I have something to do, but I have no Business abroad, and if I had, the Weather we have had for several Days past, would have kept me from going abroad. _Pe._ But now it is fair, and would tempt a Body to walk out; see how charming pleasant it is. _Jo._ If you have a Mind to walk I won't be against it. _Pe._ In Truth, I think we ought to take the Opportunity of this fine Weather. _Jo._ But we ought to get a merry Companion or two, to go along with us. _Pe._ So we will; but tell me who you'd have then. _Jo._ What if we should get Hugh? |
