ANA. Dost thou know him that saluted thee, Hedon? HED. No, some idle Fungoso, that hath got above the cupboard since yesterday. ANA. 'Slud, I never saw him till this morning, and he salutes me as familiarly as if we had known together since the deluge, or the first year of Troy action. AMO. A most right-handed and auspicious encounter. Confine yourself to your fortunes. PHI. For sport's sake let's have some Riddles or Purposes, ho! PHA. No, faith, your Prophecies are best, the t'other are stale. PHI. Prophecies! we cannot all sit in at them; we shall make a confusion. No; what call'd you that we had in the forenoon? PHA. Substantives, and adjectives, is it not, Hedon? PHI. Ay that. Who begins? PHA. I have thought; speak your adjectives, sirs. PHI. But do not you change then. PHA. Not I. Who says? MOR. Odoriferous. PHI. Popular. ARG. Humble. ANA. White-liver'd. HED. Barbarous. AMO. Pythagorical. HED. Yours, signior. ASO. What must I do, sir? AMO. Give forth your adjective with the rest; as prosperous, good, fair, sweet, well-- HED. Anything that hath not been spoken. ASO. Yes, sir, well-spoken shall be mine. PHA. What, have you all done? ALL. Ay. PHA. Then the substantive is Breeches. Why "odoriferous" breeches, guardian? MOR. Odoriferous,--because odoriferous: that which contains most variety of savour and smell we say is most odoriferous; now breeches, I presume, are incident to that variety, and therefore odoriferous breeches. PHA. Well, we must take it howsoever. Who's next? Philautia? PHI. Popular. PHA. Why "popular" breeches? PHA. Marry, that is, when they are not content to be generally noted in court, but will press forth on common stages and brokers' stalls, to the public view of the world. PHA. Good. Why "humble" breeches, Argurion? ARG. Humble! because they use to be sat upon; besides, if you tie them not up, their property is to fall down about your heels. MER. She has worn the breeches, it seems, which have done so. PHA. But why "white-liver'd?" ANA. Why! are not their linings white? Besides, when they come in swaggering company, and will pocket up any thing, may they not properly be said to be white-liver'd? PHA. O yes, we must not deny it. And why "barbarous," Hedon? HED. Barbarous! because commonly, when you have worn your breeches sufficiently, you give them to your barber. AMO. That's good; but how "Pythagorical?" PHI. Ay, Amorphus, why Pythagorical breeches? AMO. O most kindly of all; 'tis a conceit of that fortune, I am bold to hug my brain for. PHA. How is it, exquisite Amorphus? AMO. O, I am rapt with it, 'tis so fit, so proper, so happy-- PHI. Nay, do not rack us thus.
