Nor any melancholic under-scribe, Shall tell the vicar; but a special gentle, That is the heir to forty marks a year, Consorts with the small poets of the time, Is the sole hope of his old grandmother; That knows the law, and writes you six fair hands, Is a fine clerk, and has his cyphering perfect. Will take his oath o' the Greek Testament, If need be, in his pocket; and can court His mistress out of Ovid. DAP. Nay, dear captain -- FACE. Did you not tell me so? DAP. Yes; but I'd have you Use master doctor with some more respect. FACE. Hang him, proud stag, with his broad velvet head! -- But for your sake, I'd choak, ere I would change An article of breath with such a puckfist: Come, let's be gone. [GOING.] SUB. Pray you let me speak with you. |
