HAD. Thanks, good coz, the means shall not be great, only that I may first be clad in a generous outside, for that is the chief attraction that draws female affection. Good parts, without habiliments of gallantry, are no more set by in these times than a good leg in a woollen stocking. No, 'tis a glistering presence and audacity brings women into fool's felicity. LIGHT. You've a good confidence, coz; but what do ye think your brave outside shall effect? HAD. That being had, we'll to the usurer, where you shall offer some slight piece of land to mortgage, and if you do it to bring ourselves into cash, it shall be ne'er the farther from you, for here's a project will not be frustrate of this purpose. LIGHT. That shall be shortly tried. I'll instantly go seek for a habit for thee, and that of the richest too; that which shall not be subject to the scoff of any gallant, though to the accomplishing thereof all my means go. Alas! what's a man unless he wear good clothes? [_Exit_ LIGHTFOOT. HAD. Good speed attend my suit! Here's a never-seen nephew kind in distress; this gives me more cause of admiration than the loss of thirty-five settings together at passage. Ay, when 'tis performed--but words and deeds are now more different than puritans and players. _Enter_ ATLAS. ATLAS. Here's the player would speak with you. HAD. About the jig I promised him. My pen and ink! I prythee, let him in, there may be some cash rhymed out of him. _Enter_ PLAYER. PLAYER. The Muses assist you, sir: what, at your study so early? HAD. O, chiefly now, sir: for _Aurora Musis amica_. PLAYER. Indeed, I understand not Latin, sir. HAD. You must then pardon me, good Master Change-coat; for I protest unto you, it is so much my often converse that, if there be none but women in my company, yet cannot I forbear it. PLAYER. That shows your more learning, sir; but, I pray you, is that small matter done I entreated for? HAD. A small matter! you'll find it worth Meg of Westminster,[367] although it be but a bare jig. PLAYER. O Lord, sir, I would it had but half the taste of garlic.[368] HAD. Garlic stinks to this; if it prove that you have not more whores than e'er garlic had, say I am a boaster of my own works, disgrace me on the open stage, and bob me off with ne'er a penny. PLAYER. O Lord, sir, far be it from us to debar any worthy writer of his merit; but I pray you, sir, what is the title you bestow upon it? HAD. Marry, that which is full as forcible as garlic: the name of it is, _Who buys my four ropes of hard onions?_ by which four ropes is meant, four several kind of livers; by the onions, hangers-on--as at some convenient time I will more particularly inform you in so rare a hidden and obscure mystery.
