r they are five minutes ere windefall of your Glasse. _Ser_. Sir, be credible, tis ballanst to be superlative politicke custome in these houres to dwell in shallowe accoutrements, as a defence for the abilitie of his pursse from the infringed Oath of some impudent face, that will borrowe a gentlemans revenewes if he be vestally adornd: Ile tell you sir by this bright Horrison-- _Scil_. A word, I pray yee, sir, ere ye go any further: Boy, my Tables. _Boy_. Your Tables are ready, Sir, and all the men ye keep which is indeede halfe a Boy, _Scillicet Videlicet_. _Scil_. I pray ye let me request that oath of you. _Serv_. A graceful enquirie, and well observ'd: Sir, my company shall make ye copious of novelties, let your Tables befriend your memorie: write, 'by this bright Horrison.' _Phy_. 'Here's[231] none but only I' [_sing_]; Boy, how likest thou my head of hayre? _Boy_. Your Glasse may flatter ye, but truely I will not; your head is not a hayre better than it should be. _Phy_. Is there any scarcitie of haire, Boy? _Boy_. Somewhat thin and yet there is more hayre than wit.[232] _Phy_. How, Boy? _Boy_. Then wit of man can number sir, take it i'th right sence, I pray yee. _Phy_. Most ingenious! _Acu_. O muffle muffle, good _Graccus_, do not taint thy sence With sight of these infectious animalles, 'Less[233] reason in thee have the upper hand To governe sence, to see and shun the sight. Here's new discovered sins, past all the rest; Men strive to practice how to sweare the best.' _Scil_. I have quoted it, sir; by this bright Hore, Horeson, pronounce ye, sir? _Serv_. Horison! _Scil_. Horison:--the Widowes mite, sir. _Serv_. Not for the Soldans crown, sir. _Scil_. Indeede yee shall, by this bright horison ye shall; beleeve me, if I sweare, I think myself beholding for I know it to be no common oath. _Serv_. Were it common it past not these doores; Sir, I shift my oathes, as I wash my hands, twice in the artificial day; for in dialoguising, tis to be observ'd, your sentences, must ironically, metaphorically, and altogether figuratively, [be] mixt with your morning oathes. _Scil_. Faith, tis verie true. _Accu_. That he neither knowes what he saies nor thou understandest. _Serv_. As for example, by this illuminate welkin. _Scil_. Oh excellent! it shall be downe to. _Accut_. There's another Ducket. He utters his oathes apace. Sure this Villaine has no soule, and for gold
