How goes the cry?

ING. Excellent well!

MER. Wil't do?
VVhere's _Robin? on_?

ING. Here is the Gentleman, Sir.
VVill vndertake t'him? elfe. I haue acquainted him.

MER. VVhy did you ? o?

ING. VVhy, _Robin? on_ would ha' told him,
You know. And hee's a plea? ant wit! will hurt 5
Nothing you purpo? e. Then, he'is of opinion,
That _Robin? on_ might want audacity, [129]
She being ? uch a gallant. Now, hee has beene,
In _Spaine_, and knowes the fa? hions there; and can
Di? cour? e; and being but mirth (hee ? aies) leaue much, 10
To his care:

MER. But he is too tall!

_He excepts at his ? tature. _

ING. For that,
He has the braue? t deuice! (you'll loue him for't)
To ? ay, he weares _Cioppinos_: and they doe ? o
In _Spaine_. And _Robin? on's_ as tall, as hee.

MER. Is he ? o?

ING. Euery iot.

MER. Nay, I had rather 15
To tru? t a Gentleman with it, o' the two.

ING. Pray you goe to him, then, Sir, and ? alute him.

MER. Sir, my friend _Ingine_ has acquainted you
With a ? trange _bu? ine? ? e_, here.

WIT. A merry one, Sir.
The _Duke_ of _Drown'd-land_, and his _Dutche? ? e_?

MER. Yes, Sir. 20
Now, that the _Coniurers_ ha' laid him by,
I ha' made bold, to borrow him a while;

WIT. With purpo? e, yet, to put him out I hope
To his be? t v? e?

MER. Yes, Sir.

WIT. For that ? mall part,
That I am tru? ted with, put off your care: 25
I would not lo? e to doe it, for the mirth,
Will follow of it; and well, I haue a fancy.

MER. Sir, that will make it well.

WIT. You will report it ? o.
Where mu? t I haue my dre? ? ing?

ING. At my hou? e, Sir.

MER. You ? hall haue caution, Sir, for what he yeelds, 30
To ? ix pence.

WIT. You ? hall pardon me. I will ? hare, Sir,
I' your ? ports, onely: nothing i' your purcha? e.
But you mu? t furni? h mee with complements,
To th' manner of _Spaine_; my coach, my _guarda duenn'as_;

MER. _Ingine's_ your _Pro'uedor_. But, Sir, I mu? t 35
(Now I'haue entred tru? t wi' you, thus farre)
Secure ? till i' your quality, acquaint you
With ? omewhat, beyond this. The place, de? ign'd
To be the _Scene_, for this our mery matter,
Becau? e it mu?
t haue countenance of women, 40
To draw di? course, and offer it, is here by,
At the _Lady Taile-bu? hes_.

WIT. I know her, Sir.
And her Gentleman _hui? her_.

MER. M^r _Ambler_?

WIT. Yes, Sir.

MER. Sir, It ? hall be no ? hame to mee, to confe? ? e
To you, that wee poore Gentlemen, that want acres, 45
Mu? t for our needs, turne fooles vp, and plough _Ladies_
Sometimes, to try what glebe they are: and this
Is no vnfruitefull piece. She, and I now,
Are on a proiect, for the fact, and venting
Of a new kinde of _fucus_ (paint, for _Ladies_) 50
To ? erue the kingdome: wherein ? hee her ? elfe
Hath trauell'd, ? pecially, by way of ? eruice
Vnto her ? exe, and hopes to get the _Monopoly_,
As the reward of her inuention. [138]

WIT. What is her end, in this?

EV. Merely ambition, 55
Sir, to grow great, and court it with the ? ecret:
Though ? hee pretend ? ome other. For, ? he's dealing,
Already, vpon caution for the ? hares,
And M^r. _Ambler_, is hee nam'd _Examiner_
For the ingredients; and the _Register_ 60
Of what is vented; and ? hall keepe the _Office_.
Now, if ? hee breake with you, of this (as I
Mu? t make the leading thred to your acquaintance,
That, how experience gotten i' your being
Abroad, will helpe our bu? inesse) thinke of ? ome 65
Pretty additions, but to keep her floting:
It may be, ? hee will offer you a part,
Any ? trange names of--

WIT. S^r, I haue my in? tructions.
