Heele damn his body too, hee's at peace with hell
And brings his Merchandise from thence to sell.
_Boy_. I have heere two Mistresses, but if the best were chosen out, if
_Poliphemus_ tother eye were out his choice might be as good as _Argus_
broade waking, so difficult is the difference.
_Phy_. Boy, sleepe wayward thoughts?
_Boy_. Sir.
_Phy_. Is it not now most amyable and faire?
_Boy_. Yes sir, God be praised.
_Phy_. What meanst thou, Boy?
_Boy_. The weather, sir.
_Phy_. I meane my haire and face, Boy.
_Boy_. Twere amiable if it would not alter.
_Phy_. Wherfore I often repaire it.
_Boy_. Me thinkes that should weare it the sooner.
_Phy_. Not so Boy, for to trimme the Hayer well is a rare qualitie; to
bee rarelye quallified is to be wise; apply, Boy.
_Boy_. That you are wise in trimming your hayre, Maister?
_Phy_. Right, to be wise is to be rare, for it is rare to see a wise
man.
_Boy_. True, Maister, but if youle see a foole, looke in your Glasse,
maister!
_Phy_. Goe to, I must correct you, Boy.
_Boy_. You can correct no more then is your own; I am but halfe yours to
commaund, if you steale away any parte that is not your owne you are so
farre in daunger as the striking of an other mans servant.
_Scil_.[234] By this illuminate welkin! most sincere and singular: as a
small remembrance.
_Serv_. Not for to winne the faire _Angelica_.
_Scillicet_. By this illuminate Welkin ye shall now.[235] Sir, I doe not
bestowe it, for that I thinke you have neede of it; for if you had, by
this bright Horizon, I would not give it, for I know tis no credit to
give to the poore. By this illuminate welkin I have (since I tooke upon
me this fleshie desire of a Gentleman) throwne out of a window, for a
hunts-up, when I had as leef have heard the grinding of a Mustard-Mill;
for those are thinges are heere too day, and gone to morrowe; this will
sticke by a man, and doe him credit where ere hee goes.
_Acut_. I, when the foole is clad in clay,
It will sticke sore unto thy soule for aye.
_Phy_. Signior _Scillicet_, I assure you I have discovered the most
queint and new-found device for the encounter of the Ladies at the
interview; tis in pricke-song.
_Scil_. That's excellent and rare.
_Phi_. I, for prick-song to Ladies is most pleasant and delightfull: as
thus for your congie, All hayle to my belooved; then for your departure,
sad dispaire doth drive me hence: for all must be to effect.
