LA-F.
Yes, sir, of NOMENTACK, when he was here, and of the Prince of Moldauia, and of his mistris, mistris EPICoeNE.
CLE.
Away! he has not found out her latitude, I hope.
LA-F.
You are a pleasant gentleman, sir.
CLE.
Faith, now we are in priuate, let's wanton it a little, and talke waggishly. Sir IOHN, I am telling sir AMOROVS here, that you two go∣uerne the ladies, where e're you come, you carry the feminine gender a∣fore you.
DAW.
They shall rather carry vs afore them, if they will, sir.
CLE.
Nay, I beleeue that they doe, withall—But, that you are the prime-men in their affections, and direct all their actions—
DAW.
Not I: sir AMOROVS is.
LA-F.
I protest, sir IOHN is.
DAW.
As I hope to rise i'the state, sir AMOROVS, you ha' the person.
LA-F.
Sir IOHN, you ha' the person, and the discourse too.
DAW.
Not I, sir. I haue no discourse—and then you haue actiuitie beside.
LA-F.
I protest, sir IOHN, you come as high from Tripoly, as I doe e∣uery whit: and lift as many ioyn'd stooles, and leape ouer 'hem, if you would vse it—
CLE.
Well, agree on't together knights; for betweene you, you di∣uide the kingdome, or common-wealth of ladies affections: I see it, and can perceiue a little how they obserue you, and feare you, indeed. You could tell strange stories, my masters, if you would, I know.
DAW.
Faith, we haue seene somewhat, sir.
LA-F.
That we haue—vellet petti-coates, & wrought smocks, or so.
CLE.
Nay, out with it, sir IOHN: doe not enuie your friend the plea∣sure of hearing, when you haue had the delight of tasting.
DAW.
Why—a—doe you speake, sir AMOROVS.
LA-F.
No, doe you, sir IOHN DAW.
LA-F.
I'faith, you shall.
LA-F.
In the great bed at Ware together in our time. On, sir IOHN.
DAW.
Nay, doe you, sir AMOROVS.
CRE.
And these ladies with you, Knights?
LA-F.
No, excuse vs, sir.
DAW.
We must not wound reputation.
LA-F.
No matter—they were these, or others. Our bath cost vs fif∣teene pound, when we came home.
CLE.
Doe you heare, sir IOHN, you shall tell me but one thing true∣ly, as you loue me.
DAW.
If I can, I will, sir.
