or, leaving his parent, come to some special ornament about himself, as his rapier, or some other of his accountrements? I have it: thanks, gracious Minerva! ASO. Would I had but once spoke to him, and then--He comes to me! AMO. 'Tis a most curious and neatly wrought band this same, as I have seen, sir. ASO. O lord, sir. AMO. You forgive the humour of mine eye, in observing it. CRI. His eye waters after it, it seems. [ASIDE.] ASO. O lord, sir! there needs no such apology I assure you. CRI. I am anticipated; they'll make a solemn deed of gift of themselves, you shall see. [ASIDE.] AMO. Your riband too does most gracefully in troth. ASO. 'Tis the most genteel and received wear now, sir. AMO. Believe me, sir, I speak it not to humour you--I have not seen a young gentleman, generally, put on his clothes with more judgment. ASO. O, 'tis your pleasure to say so, sir. AMO.

Both your desert, and your endeavours are plentiful, suspect them not: but your sweet disposition to travel, I assure you, hath made you another myself in mine eye, and struck me enamour'd on your beauties. ASO. I would I were the fairest lady of France for your sake, sir! and yet I would travel too. AMO. O, you should digress from yourself else: for, believe it, your travel is your only thing that rectifies, or, as the Italian says, "vi rendi pronto all' attioni," makes you fit for action. ASO. I think it be great charge though, sir. AMO. Charge! why 'tis nothing for a gentleman that goes private, as yourself, or so; my intelligence shall quit my charge at all time. Good faith, this hat hath possest mine eye exceedingly; 'tis so pretty and fantastic: what! is it a beaver? ASO. Ay, sir, I'll assure you 'tis a beaver, it cost me eight crowns but this morning. AMO.
