_Count._ I pray you Sir leap into the matter, what would You have me do for you? _Laza._ I would intreat your Lordship to make me known to the Duke. _Count._ When Sir? _Laza._ Suddainly my Lord, I would have you present me unto him this morning. _Count._ It shall be done, but for what virtues, would you have him take notice of you? _Laza._ Your Lordship shall know that presently. _Count._ 'Tis pity of this fellow, he is of good wit, and sufficient understanding, when he is not troubled with this greedy worm. _Laza._ 'Faith, you may intreat him to take notice of me for any thing; for being an excellent Farrier, for playing well at Span-counter, or sticking knives in walls, for being impudent, or for nothing; why may not I be a Favorite on the suddain? I see nothing against it. _Count._ Not so Sir, I know you have not the face to be a Favourite on the suddain. _Laz._ Why then you shall present me as a Gentleman well qualified, or one extraordinary seen in divers strange mysteries. _Count._ In what Sir? as how? _Laz._ Marry as thus-- _Enter [I]ntelligencer._ _Count._ Yonder's my old Spirit, that hath haunted me daily, ever since I was a privy Counsellor, I must be rid of him, I pray you stay there, I am a little busie, I will speak with you presently. _Laza._ You shall bring me in, and after a little other talk taking me by the hand, you shall utter these words to the Duke: May it please your grace, to take note of a Gentleman, well read, deeply learned, and throughly grounded in the hidden knowledge of all Sallads and Pot-herbs whatsoever. _Count._ 'Twill be rare, if you will walk before, Sir, I will overtake you instantly. _Laza._ Your Lordships ever. _Count._ This fellow is a kind of an informer, one that lives in Alehouses and Taverns, and because he perceives some worthy men in this Land, with much labour and great expence, to have discovered things dangerously hanging over the State; he thinks to discover as much out of the talk of drunkards in Tap-houses: he brings me informations, pick'd out of broken words, in mens common talk, which, with his malicious mis-application, he hopes will seem dangerous, he doth besides, bring me the names of all the young Gentlemen in the City, that use Ordinaries, or Taverns, talking (to my thinking) only as the freedom of their youth teach them, without any further ends; for dangerous and seditious spirits; he is besides, an arrant whoremaster, as any is in _Milan_, of a Lay-man; I will not meddle with the Clergy: he is parcel Lawyer, and in my conscience much of their religion, I must put upon him some piece of service; come hither Sir, what have you to do with me? _Int._ Little my Lord, I only come to know how your Lordship would employ me.
