sir, 'tis very rarely well made; I never saw a suit sit better, I can tell on. TAI. Nay, we have no art to please our friends, we! FUNG. Here, haberdasher, tell this same. [GIVES HIM MONEY. HABE. Good faith, sir, it makes you have an excellent body. FUNG. Nay, believe me, I think I have as good a body in clothes as another. TAI. You lack points to bring your apparel together, sir. FUNG. I'll have points anon. How now! Is't right? HABE. Faith, sir, 'tis too little' but upon farther hopes -- Good morrow to you, sir. [EXIT. FUNG. Farewell, good haberdasher.
