SIR RADERIC. And these shall suffice for the parts of his learning. Now it remains to try whether you be a man of good utterance, that is, whether you can ask for the strayed heifer with the white face, as also chide the boys in the belfry, and bid the sexton whip out the dogs. Let me hear your voice. IMMERITO. If any man or woman-- SIR RADERIC. That's too high. IMMERITO. If any man or woman-- SIR RADERIC. That's too low. IMMERITO. If any man or woman can tell any tidings of a horse with four feet, two ears, that did stray about the seventh hour, three minutes in the forenoon the fifth day-- PAGE. A book of[95] a horse, just as it were the eclipse of the moon. [_Aside_. SIR RADERIC. Boy, write him down for a good utterance. Master Recorder, I think he hath been examined sufficiently. RECORDER. Ay, Sir Raderic, 'tis so; we have tried him very throughly. PAGE. Ay, we have taken an inventory of his good parts, and prized them accordingly. SIR RADERIC. Signior Immerito, forasmuch as we have made a double trial of thee--the one of your learning, the other of your erudition--it is expedient also, in the next place, to give you a few exhortations, considering the greatest clerks are not the wisest men. This is therefore, first, to exhort you to abstain from controversies; secondly, not to gird at men of worship, such as myself, but to use yourself discreetly; thirdly, not to speak when any man or woman coughs--do so, and in so doing, I will persevere to be your worshipful friend and loving patron. IMMERITO. I thank your worship, you have been the deficient cause of my preferment. SIR RADERIC. Lead Immerito into my son, and let him despatch him; and remember--my tithes to be reserved, paying twelvepence a year. I am going to Moorfields to speak with an unthrift I should meet at the Middle-Temple about a purchase; when you have done, follow us. [_Exeunt_ IMMERITO _and the_ PAGE. ACTUS III., SCAENA 2. SIR RADERIC _and_ RECORDER. SIR RADERIC. Hark you, Master Recorder: I have fleshed my prodigal boy notably, notably, in letting him deal for this living; that hath done him much good, much good, I assure you.
