_ Yes; what are you the better?
_Ger._ You shall perceive Sir, ere you get your freedom:
Take him aside, and friend, we take thee to us,
Into our company, thou dar'st be true unto us?
_Hig._ I, and obedient too?
_Hub._ As you had bred me.
_Ger._ Then take our hand: thou art now a servant to us,
Welcom him all.
_Hig._ Stand off, stand off: I'le do it,
We bid ye welcom three wayes; first for your person,
Which is a promising person, next for your quality,
Which is a decent, and a gentle quality,
Last for the frequent means you have to feed us,
You can steal 'tis to be presum'd.
_Hub._ Yes, venison, and if you want--
_Hig._ 'Tis well you understand right,
And shall practise daily: you can drink too?
_Hub._ Soundly.
_Hig._ And ye dare know a woman from a weathercock?
_Hub._ If I handle her.
_Ger._ Now swear him.
_Hig._ I crown thy _nab_, with a _gag of benbouse_,
And _stall_ thee by the _Salmon_ into the _clows_,
To _mand_ on the _pad_, and _strike_ all the _cheats_;
To _Mill_ from the _Ruffmans_, _commision_ and _slates_,
_Twang dell_'s, i' the _stiromell_, and let the _Quire Cuffin_:
And _Herman Beck strine_, and _trine_ to the _Ruffin_.
