me your keys Sir _Savil_. _Savil._ Good Sir consider whom you left me to. _Elder Lo._ I left you as a curb for, not to provoke my Brothers follies: where's the best drink, now? come, tell me _Savil_; where's the soundest Whores? Ye old he Goat, ye dried Ape, ye lame Stallion, must you be leading in my house your Whores, like Fairies dance their night rounds, without fear either of King or Constable, within my walls? Are all my Hangings safe; my Sheep unfold yet? I hope my Plate is currant, I ha' too much on't. What say you to 300 pounds in drink now? _Sav._ Good Sir forgive me, and but hear me speak? _Elder Lo._ Me thinks thou shouldst be drunk still, and not speak, 'tis the more pardonable. _Sav._ I will Sir, if you will have it so. _Elder Lo._ I thank ye: yes, e'ne pursue it Sir: do you hear? get a Whore soon for your recreation: go look out Captain _Broken-breech_ your fellow, and Quarrel if you dare: I shall deliver these Keys to one shall have more honesty, though not so much fine wit Sir.

Thou that hast been a Companion for Noblemen, and at the worst of those times for Gentlemen: now like a broken Servingman, must beg for favour to those, that would have crawl'd like Pilgrims to my Chamber but for an Apparition of me. You that be coming on, make much of fifteen, and so till five and twenty: use your time with reverence, that your profits may arise: it will not tarry with you, _Ecce signum_: here was a face, but time that like a surfeit eats our youth, plague of his iron teeth, and draw 'em for't, has been a little bolder here than welcome: and now to say the truth, I am fit for no man.
