re devour'd. _Young Lo._ Course? why Horse-coursing I think. Consume no time in this: I have no Estate to be mended by meditation: he that busies himself about my fortunes may properly be said to busie himself about nothing. _Elder Lo._ Yet some course you must take, which for my satisfaction resolve and open; if you will shape none, I must inform you that that man but perswades himself he means to live, that imagines not the means. _Young Lo._ Why live upon others, as others have lived upon me. _Elder Lo._ I apprehend not that: you have fed others, and consequently dispos'd of 'em: and the same measure must you expect from your maintainers, which will be too heavy an alteration for you to bear. _Young Lo._ Why I'le purse; if that raise me not, I'le bet at Bowling-alleyes, or man Whores; I would fain live by others: but I'le live whilst I am unhang'd, and after the thought's taken. _Elder Love._ I see you are ty'd to no particular imploiment then? _Young Lo._ Faith I may choose my course: they say nature brings forth none but she provides for them: I'le try her liberality. _Elder Lo._ Well, to keep your feet out of base and dangerous paths, I have resolved you shall live as Master of my House. It shall be your care _Savil_ to see him fed and cloathed, not according to his present Estate, but to his birth and former fortunes. _Young Lo._ If it be refer'd to him, if I be not found in Carnation Jearsie-stockins, blew devils breeches, with the gards down, and my pocket i'th' sleeves, I'le n'er look you i'th' face again. _Sa._ A comelier wear I wuss it is than those dangling slops. _Elder Lo._ To keep you readie to do him all service peaceably, and him to command you reasonably, I leave these further directions in writing, which at your best leasure together open and read. _Enter_ Younglove _to them with a Jewell._ _Abig._ Sir, my Mistress commends her love to you in this token, and these words; it is a Jewell (she sayes) which as a favour from her she would request you to wear till your years travel be performed: which once expired, she will hastily expect your happy return. _Elder Lo._ Return my service with such thanks, as she may imagine the heart of a suddenly over-joyed man would willingly utter, and you I hope I shall with slender arguments perswade to wear this Diamond, that when my Mistris shall through my long absence, and the approach of new Suitors, offer to forget me; you may cast you
