Does my younger
Brother speak any Greek yet, _Andrew_?
_And._ No, but he speaks High Dutch, and that goes daintily.
_Char._ Reach me the Books down I read yesterday, and make a little fire,
and get a manchet; make clean those Instruments of Brass I shew'd you, and
set the great Sphere by; then take the Fox tail, and purge the Books from
dust; last, take your _Lilly_, and get your part ready.
_And._ Shall I go home, Sir? my Wife's name is _Lilly_, there my best part
lies, Sir.
_Charles._ I mean your Grammar, O thou Dunderhead would'st thou be ever in
thy Wife's _Syntaxis_? Let me have no noise, nor nothing to disturb me; I
am to find a secret.
_And._ So am I too; which if I find, I shall make some smart for't--
[_Exeunt._
_ACTUS TERTIUS. SCENA PRIMA._
_Enter_ Lewis, Angellina, Sylvia, Notary.
_Lewis._ This is the day, my Daughter Angellina, the happy, that must make
you a Fortune, a large and full one, my care has wrought it, and yours
must be as great to entertain it. Young _Eustace_ is a Gentleman at all
points, and his behaviour affable and courtly, his person excellent; I
know you find that, I read it in your eyes, you like his youth; young
handsome people should be match'd together, then follows handsome
Children, handsome fortunes; the most part of his Father's Estate, my
Wench, is ti'd in a Jointure, that makes up the harmony; and when ye are
married, he's of that soft temper, and so far will be chain'd to your
observance, that you may rule and turn him as you please.
