ted with thanks.

ACADEMICO.
This is a subtle tractive, when thanks may be felt and seen. [_Aside_.]

STERCUTIO.
And I pray you, sir, what is the lowest thanks that you will take?

ACADEMICO.
The very same method that he useth at the buying of an ox. [_Aside_.]

AMORETTO.
I must have some odd sprinkling of an hundred pounds; if so, so--I shall
think you thankful, and commend your son as a man of good gifts to my
father.

ACADEMICO.
A sweet world! give an hundred pounds; and this is but counted
thankfulness! [_Aside_.]

STERCUTIO.
Hark thou, sir; you shall have eighty thanks.

AMORETTO.
I tell thee, fellow, I never opened my mouth in this kind so cheap
before in my life: I tell thee, few young gentlemen are found that would
deal so kindly with thee as I do.

STERCUTIO.
Well, sir, because I know my son to be a toward thing, and one that has
taken all his learning on his own head, without sending to the
university, I am content to give you as many thanks as you ask, so you
will promise me to bring it to pass.

AMORETTO.
I warrant you for that, if I say it once. Repair you to the place, and
stay there. For my father, he is walked abroad to take the benefit of
the air: I'll meet him, as he returns, and make way for your suit.
Gallant, i'faith.[86]

[_Exeunt_ STERCUTIO _and_ IMMERITO.

ACTUS II., SCAENA 5.

ACADEMICO, AMORETTO.

ACADEMICO.
I see, we scholars fish for a living in these shallow fords without a
silver hook. Why, would it not gall a man to see a spruce gartered youth
of our college, a while ago, be a broker for a living and an old bawd
for a benefice? This sweet sir preferred me much kindness when he was of
our college, and now I'll try what wind remains in his bladder. God save
you, sir.

AMORETTO.
By the mass, I fear me, I saw this _genus_ and _species_ in Cambridge
before now: I'll take no notice of him now. [_Aside_.] By the faith of a
gentleman, this is pretty elegy. Of what age is the day, fellow? Sirrah
boy, hath the groom saddled my hunting hobby? Can Robin hunter tell
where a hare sits? [_Soliloquising_.

ACADEMICO.
See a poor Old friend of yours of S---- College in Cambridge.

AMORETTO.
Good faith, sir, you must pardon me: I have forgotten you.

ACADEMICO.
My name is Academico, sir; one that made an oration for you once on the
Queen's day, and a show that you got some credit by.

AMORETTO.
It may be so, it may be so;
