BUB. If grief take not away my stomach, I will have good cheer, I warrant you. Sprinkle! SPRIN. Sir. BUB. Had the women puddings to their dole?[172] SPRIN. Yes, sir. BUB. And how did they take 'em? SPRIN. Why, with their hands. How should they take 'em? BUB. O thou Hercules of ignorance! I mean, how were they satisfied? SPRIN. By my troth, sir, but so-so; and yet some of them had two. BUB. O insatiable women, whom two puddings would not satisfy! But vanish, Sprinkle; bid your fellow Gervase come hither. [_Exit_ SPRINKLE. And off, my mourning-robes: grief, to the grave, For I have gold, and therefore will be brave:[173] In silks I'll rattle it of every colour, And, when I go by water, scorn a sculler. _Enter_ STAINES. In black carnation velvet I will cloak me, And when men bid God save me, cry, _Tu quoque_. It is needful a gentleman should speak Latin sometimes, is it not, Gervase? STAINES. O, very graceful, sir; your most accomplished gentlemen are known by it. BUB. Why, then will I make use of that little I have upon times and occasions. Here, Gervase, take this bag, and run presently to the mercer's; buy me seven ells of horse-flesh-coloured taffata, nine yards of yellow satin, and eight yards of orange-tawny velvet. Then run to the tailor's, the haberdasher's, the sempster's, the cutler's, the perfumer's, and to all trades whatsoever, that belong to the making up of a gentleman; and, amongst the rest, let not the barber be forgotten: and look that he be an excellent fellow, and one that can snap his fingers with dexterity.[174] STAINES. I shall fit you, sir. BUB. Do so, good Gervase: it is time my beard were corrected, for it is grown so saucy, as it begins to play with my nose. STAINES. Your nose, sir, must endure it; for it is in part the fashion. BUB. Is it in fashion? why, then my nose shall endure it, let it tickle his worst. STAINES. Why, now y' are i' the right, sir; if you will be a true gallant, you must bear things resolute. As thus, sir; if you be at an ordinary, and chance to lose your money at play, you must not fret and fume, tear cards, and fling away dice, as your ignorant gamester or country-gentleman does; but you must put on a calm, temperate action, with a kind of careless smile in contempt of fortune, as not being able with all her engines to batter down one piece of your estate, that your means may be thought invincible. Never tell your money: nor what you have won, nor what you have lost. If a question be made, your answer must be: What I have lost, I have lost; what I have won, I have won. A close heart and free hand make a man admired: a testern or a shilling to a servant that brings you a glass of beer, binds his hands to his lips: you shall have more service of him than his master; he will be more humble to you than a cheater before a magistrate.
