ot have carved him, in faith; they say he is a capon already. I must now seemingly fall out with you.] Shall a gentleman so well descended as Camillo [a lousy slave, that within this twenty years rode with the black guard in the duke's carriage, 'mongst spits and dripping-pans!]-- Cam. Now he begins to tickle her. Flam. An excellent scholar [one that hath a head fill'd with calves' brains without any sage in them,] come crouching in the hams to you for a night's lodging? [that hath an itch in 's hams, which like the fire at the glass-house hath not gone out this seven years] Is he not a courtly gentleman? [when he wears white satin, one would take him by his black muzzle to be no other creature than a maggot] You are a goodly foil, I confess, well set out [but cover'd with a false stone-- yon counterfeit diamond].

Cam. Shall I, shall I? Flam. It will show in you a supremacy of judgment. Cam. True, and a mind differing from the tumultuary opinion; for, quae negata, grata. Flam. Right: you are the adamant shall draw her to you, though you keep distance off. Cam. A philosophical reason. Flam.
