hey do so commend and approve my apparel, with my judicious
wearing of it, it's above wonder.

FAL. Indeed, sir, 'tis a most excellent suit, and you do wear it as
extraordinary.

FAST. Why, I'll tell you now, in good faith, and by this chair, which, by
the grace of God, I intend presently to sit in, I had three suits in one
year made three great ladies in love with me: I had other three, undid
three gentlemen in imitation: and other three gat three other gentlemen
widows of three thousand pound a year.

DELI. Is't possible?
