2341Clow. We shall finde a time Awdrie, patience gen-

2342tle Awdrie.

2343Awd. Faith the Priest was good enough, for all the

2344olde gentlemans saying.

2345Clow. A most wicked Sir Oliuer, Awdrie, a most vile

2346Mar-text. But Awdrie, there is a youth heere in the

2347Forrest layes claime to you.

2348Awd. I, I know who 'tis: he hath no interest in mee

2349in the world: here comes the man you meane.

2351Clo. It is meat and drinke to me to see a Clowne, by

2352my troth, we that haue good wits, haue much to answer

2353for: we shall be flouting: we cannot hold.

2354Will. Good eu'n Audrey.

2355Aud. God ye good eu'n William.

2356Will. And good eu'n to you Sir.

2357Clo. Good eu'n gentle friend. Couer thy head, couer

2358thy head: Nay prethee bee eouer'd. How olde are you

2359Friend?

2360Will. Fiue and twentie Sir.

2361Clo. A ripe age: Is thy name William?

2362Will. William, sir.

2363Clo. A faire name. Was't borne i'th Forrest heere?

2364Will. I sir, I thanke God.

2365Clo. Thanke God: A good answer:

2366Art rich?

2367Will. 'Faith sir, so, so.

2368Cle. So, so, is good, very good, very excellent good:

2369and yet it is not, it is but so, so:

2370Art thou wise?

2371Will. I sir, I haue a prettie wit.

2372Clo. Why, thou saist well. I do now remember a say-

2373ing: The Foole doth thinke he is wise, but the wiseman

2374knowes himselfe to be a Foole. The Heathen Philoso-

2375pher, when he had a desire to eate a Grape, would open

2376his lips when he put it into his mouth, meaning there-

2377by, that Grapes were made to eate, and lippes to open.

2378You do loue this maid?

2379Will. I do sit.

2380Clo. Giue me your hand: Art thou Learned?

2381Will. No sir.

2382Clo. Then learne this of me, To haue, is to haue. For

2383it is a figure in Rhetoricke, that drink being powr'd out

2384of a cup into a glasse, by filling the one, doth empty the

2385other. For all your Writers do consent, that ipse is hee:

2386now you are not ipse, for I am he.

2387Will. Which he sir?

2388Clo. He sir, that must marrie this woman: Therefore

2389you Clowne, abandon: which is in the vulgar, leaue the

2390societie: which in the boorish, is companie, of this fe-

2391male: which in the common, is woman: which toge-

2392ther, is, abandon the society of this Female, or Clowne

2393thou perishest: or to thy better vnderstanding, dyest; or

2394(to wit) I kill thee, make thee away, translate thy life in-

2395to death, thy libertie into bondage: I will deale in poy-

2396son with thee, or in bastinado, or in steele: I will bandy

2397with thee in faction, I will ore-run thee with police: I

2398will kill thee a hundred and fifty wayes, therefore trem-

2399ble and depart.

2400Aud. Do good William.

2403Cor. Our Master and Mistresse seekes you: come a-

2404way, away.

2405Clo. Trip Audry, trip Audry, I attend,
