PIP. Master Hugh, as welcome as heart can tell, or tongue can think. HUGH. I thank you, Master Pipkin; I have got many a good dish of broth by your means. PIP. According to the ancient courtesy, you are welcome; according to the time and place, you are heartily welcome: when they are busied at the board, we will find ourselves busied in the buttery; and so, sweet Hugh, according to our scholars' phrase, _gratulor adventum tuum_. HUGH. I will answer you with the like, sweet Pipkin, _gratias_. PIP. As much grace as you will, but as little of it as you can, good Hugh. But here comes more guests. _Enter_ OLD MASTER ARTHUR _and_ OLD MASTER LUSAM. MRS ART. More stools and cushions for these gentlemen. O. ART. What, Master Justice Reason, are you here? Who would have thought to have met you in this place? O. LUS. What say mine eyes, is Justice Reason here? Mountains may meet, and so, I see, may we. JUS. Well, when men meet, they meet, And when they part, they oft leave one another's company; So we, being met, are met. O. LUS. Truly, you say true; And Master Justice Reason speaks but reason: To hear how wisely men of law will speak! _Enter_ ANSELM _and_ FULLER. ANS. Good morrow, gentlemen! MRS ART. What? are you there? ANS. Good morrow, mistress, and good morrow, all! JUS. If I may be so bold in a strange place, I say, good morrow, and as much to you. I pray, gentlemen, will you sit down? We have been young, like you; and, if you live Unto our age, you will be old like us. FUL. Be rul'd by reason; but who's here? _Enter_ AMINADAB. AMIN. _Salvete, omnes_! and good day To all at once, as I may say; First, Master Justice; next, Old Arthur, That gives me pension by the quarter; To my good mistress and the rest, That are the founders of this feast; In brief, I speak to _omnes_, all, That to their meat intend to fall. JUS. Welcome, Sir Aminadab; O, my son Hath profited exceeding well with you: Sit down, sit down, by Mistress Arthur's leave. _Enter_ YOUNG MASTER ARTHUR, YOUNG MASTER LUSAM, _and_ MISTRESS MARY. Y. ART. Gentlemen, welcome all; whilst I deliver Their private welcomes, wife, be it your charge To give this gentlewoman entertainment. MRS ART. Husband, I will. O, this is she usurps The precious interest of my husband's love; Though, as I am a woman, I could well Thrust such a lewd companion out of doors; Yet, as I am a true, obedient, wife, I'd kiss her feet to do my husband's will. [_Aside_. You are entirely welcome, gentlewoman; Indeed you are; pray, do not doubt of it. MRS MA. I thank you, Mistress Arthur; now, by my little honesty, It much repents me to wrong so chaste a woman. [_Aside_. Y. ART. Gentles, put o'er your legs; first, Master Justice, Here you shall sit. JUS. And here shall Mistress Mary sit by me. Y. ART. Pardon me, sir, she shall have my wife's place. MRS ART. Indeed, you shall, for he will have it so. MRS MA. If you will needs; but I shall do you wrong To take your place.
