NVtmegge?
Sugar? well met, how chance you waite not vpon your Maister, where's Wine now?
Oh sometimes without Sugar, all the while he's well if I bee in his company, tis but for fashion sake, I waite vpon him into a roome now and then, but am not regarded: marrie when hee is ill, hee makes much of mee, who but Sugar? but to my remembrance I haue not beene in his presence this fortnight, I hope short∣ly hee will not know me, though he meete me in his drinke.
Thou hast a sweete life in the meane time Sugar.
But thou art tied to more attendance Nutmegge vp∣on your Maister Beere.
