may be done, Sir.
_1 Cly._ Ha? Monsieur _La-writ_.
_La-writ._ Baffled in way of business,
My causes cast away, Judgement against us?
Why there it goes.
_2 Cly._ What shall we do the whilst Sir?
_La-wr._ Breed new dissentions, goe hang your selves
'Tis all one to me; I have a new trade of living.
_1 Cli._ Do you hear what he saies Sir?
_Sam._ The Gentleman speaks finely.
_La-wr._ Will any of you fight? Fighting's my occupation
If you find your selves aggriev'd.
_Sam._ A compleat Gentleman.
_La-writ._ Avant thou buckram budget of petitions,
Thou spittle of lame causes; I lament for thee,
And till revenge be taken--
_Sam._ 'Tis most excellent.
_La-wr._ There, every man chuse his paper, and his place.
I'le answer ye all, I will neglect no mans business
But he shall have satisfaction like a Gentleman,
The Judge may do and not do, he's but a Monsieur.
_Sam._ You have nothing of mine in your bag, Sir.
_La-writ._ I know not Sir,
But you may put any thing in, any fighting thing.
_Sam._ It is sufficient, you may hear hereafter.
_La-writ._ I rest your servant Sir.
_Sam._ No more words Gentlemen
But follow me, no more words as you love me,
The Gentleman's a noble Gentleman.
I shall do what I can, and then--
_Cli._ We thank you Sir. [_Ex._ Sam. _and_ Clients.
_Sam._ Not a word to disturb him, he's a Gentleman.
_La-writ._ No cause go o' my side? the judge cast all?
And because I was honourably employed in action,
And not appear'd, pronounce? 'tis very well,
'Tis well faith, 'tis well, Judge.
_Enter_ Cleremont.
_Cler._ Who have we here?
My little furious Lawyer?
_La-writ._ I say 'tis well,
But mark the end.
_Cler._ How he is metamorphos'd!
Nothing of Lawyer left, not a bit of buckram,
No solliciting face now,
This is no simple conversion.
Your servant Sir, and Friend.
_La-writ._ You come in time, Sir,
_Cler._ The happier man, to be at your command then.
_La-writ._ You may wonder to see me thus; but that's all one,
Time shall declare; 'tis true I was a Lawyer,
But I have mew'd that coat, I hate a Lawyer,
I talk'd much in the Court, now I hate talking,
I did you the office of a man.
_Cler._ I must confess it.
_La-w._ And budg'd not, no I budg'd not.
_Cler._ No, you did not.
_La-w._ There's it then, one good turn requires another.
_Cler._ Most willing Sir, I am ready at your service.
_La-w._ There, read, and understand, and then deliver it.
