to this sweet nuncions of Plums.
_Dicach._ Almost all Sir Vaughan? why to which of vs are you so
niggardly, that you cut her out but a peice of welcome.
_Sir Vaugh._ My interpretations is that almost all are welcome, |1395|
because I indited a brace or two more that is not come, I am sorrie my
Ladie Pride is not among you.

_Sir Vau._ M. Bubo sit there, you and I wil thinke vpon our ends at
the Tables: M. Horace, put your learned bodie into the midst of these
Ladies; so tis no matter to speake graces at nuncions, because we are
all past grace since dinner.
