ddle, and the thing's done: but let's be handsome, shall's be Gods or Nymphs? _Eust._ What, Nymphs with Beards? _Cow._ That's true, we'll be Knights then; some wandring Knights, that light here on a sudden. _Eust._ Let's go, let's go, I must go visit, Gentlemen, and mark what sweet lips I must kiss to morrow. [_Exeunt._ ACTUS II. SCENA III. _Enter_ Cook, Andrew, Butler, _Cook._ And how do's my Master? _And._ He's at's Book; peace, Coxcomb, that such an unlearned tongue as thine should ask for him! _Co._ Do's he not study conjuring too? _And._ Have you lost any Plate, _Butler_? _But._ No, but I know I shall to morrow at dinner. _And._ Then to morrow you shall be turn'd out of your place for't; we meddle with no spirit o'th' Buttery, they taste too small for us; keep me a Pie in _Folio_, I beseech thee, and thou shalt see how learnedly I'le translate him. Shall's have good cheer to morrow? _Co._ Excellent good cheer, _Andrew_. _And._ The spight on't is, that much about that time, I shall be arguing, or deciding rather, which are the Males or Females of Red Herrings, and whether they be taken in the Red-Sea only; a question found out by _Copernicus_, the learned Motion-maker. _Co._ I marry, _Butler_, here are rare things; a man that look'd upon him, would swear he understood no more than we do. _But._ Certain, a learned _Andrew_. _And._ I've so much on't, and am so loaden with strong understanding, I fear, they'll run me mad. Here's a new Instrument, a Mathematical Glister to purge the Moon with when she is laden with cold phlegmatick humours; and here's another to remove the Stars, when they grow too thick in the Firmament. _Co._ O Heavens! why do I labour out my life in a Beef-pot? and only search the secrets of a Sallad, and know no farther? _And._ They are not reveal'd to all heads; these are far above your Element of Fire, _Cook_. I could tell you of _Archimedes_ Glass, to fire your Coals with; and of the Philosophers Turf, that ne'er goes out: and, _Gilbert Butler_, I could ravish thee with two rare inventions. _But._ What are they, _Andrew_. _And._ The one to blanch your Bread from chippings base, and in a moment, as thou wouldst an Almond; the Sect of the Epicureans invented that: The other for thy Trenchers, that's a strong one, to cleanse you twenty dozen in a minute, and no noise heard, which is the wonder, _Gilbert_; and this was out of _Plato_'s new _Idea
