_Era. Ph[oe]bus_ guard me From this new _Python_. _Sos._ How they have trimm'd him up Like an old Reveller! _Nea._ Curl'd him and perfum'd him, But that was done with judgement, for he looks Like one that purg'd perpetually; trust me, That Witches face of his is painted too, And every ditch upon it buries more Then would set off ten Bawds, and all their tenants. _Sos._ See how it moves towards us. _Nea._ There's a salutation: 'Troth Gentlemen, you have bestowed much travel In training up your Pupil. _Tut._ Sir, great buildings Require great labours, which yet we repent not, Since for the Countreys good we have brought home An absolute man. _Unc._ As any of his years, _Corinth_ can shew you. _Era._ He's exceeding meagre. _Tut._ His contemplation-- _Unc._ Besides, 'tis fit Learners should be kept hungry. _Nea._ You all contemplate; For three such wretched pictures of lean famine I never saw together. _Unc._ We have fat minds, Sir, And travell'd to save charges. Do you think 'Twas fit a young and hopeful Gentleman Should be brought up a glutton? he's my Ward, Nor was there ever where I bore the bag Any superfluous waste. _Era._ Pray you can it speak? _Tut._ He knows all Languages, but will use none, They are all too big for his mouth, or else too little T' express his great conceits: and yet of late With some impulsion he hath set down In a strange method by the way of question, And briefly to all business whatsoever That may concern a Gentleman. _Nea._ Good Sir, let's hear him. _Tut._ Come on, Sir. _Nea._ They have taught him like an Ape, To do his tricks by signs: now he begins. _Onos._ When shall we be drunk together? _Tut._ That's the first. _Onos._ Where shall we whore to night? _Unc._ That ever follows. _Era._ 'Odds me, he now looks angry. _Onos._ Shall we quarrel? _Nea._ With me at no hand, Sir. _Onos._ Then lets protest. _Era._ Is this all? _Tut._ These are, Sir, the four new Virtues That are in fashion: many a mile we measur'd Before we could arrive to this knowledge. _Nea._ You might [h]ave spar'd that labour, for at home here There's little else in practice: Ha? the Queen? Good friends, for half an hour remove your motion, To morrow willingly when we have more leasure We'll look on him again. _Onos._ Did I not rarely? _Unc._ Excellent well. _Tut._ He shall have six Plumbs for it.
