_Ant_. That's gross meat, Sir, a pair of Quails--or--
_Guil_. I thank you for that, i'faith, take your Don again, an you
please, I'll not be starv'd for ne'er a Don in Christendom.
_Ant_. But you must study to refine your Manners a little.
_Guil_. Manners! you shall pardon me for that; as if a Lord had not more

_Car_. Ay, ay, 'tis great.
_Guil_. Your saucy Rudeness, in a Grandee, is Freedom; your

_Spadilio's_ the Apothecary's, at the next Door, for a Cordial; and so

_Jac_. Ah, what a Jest that would be too--Ha, ha, ha! but here comes
