_Wood._ You shall find me an apt scholar.

_Saint._ I must go abroad upon some business; but remember your
promise, to carry yourself soberly, and without scandal in my family;
and so I leave you to this gentleman, who is a member of it.
[_Exit_ SAINT.

_Aldo._ [_Aside._] Before George, a proper fellow, and a swinger he
should be, by his make! the rogue would humble a whore, I warrant
him.--You are welcome, sir, amongst us; most heartily welcome, as I
may say.

_Wood._ All's well: he knows me not.--Sir, your civility is obliging
to a stranger, and may befriend me, in the acquaintance of our
fellow-lodgers.

_Aldo._ Hold you there, sir: I must first understand you a little
better; and yet, methinks, you should be true to love.

_Wood._ Drinking and wenching are but slips of youth: I had those two
good qualities from my father.

_Aldo._ Thou, boy! Aha, boy! a true Trojan, I warrant thee! [_Hugging
him._] Well, I say no more; but you are lighted into such a family,
such food for concupiscence, such _bona roba's_!

_Wood._ One I know, indeed; a wife: But _bona roba's_, say you?

_Aldo._ I say, _bona roba's_, in the plural number.
