There, there, there lyes Cupid's fire! Mrs. Touchstone. Gertrud. I by my faith, I warrant him; hee gives no other milke, as I have another servant does. Mrs. Touchstone. Ahlas! 'tis eene pittie meethinks; for God's sake, madam, buy him but a hobbie horse; let the poore youth have something betwixt his legges to ease 'hem. Alas! we must doe as we would be done too.
No inuention or matter haue they of theyr owne, but tacke vp a stile of his stale galimafries. The leaden headed Germanes first began this, and we Englishmen haue surfetted of their absurd imitation. I pittie Nizolius that had nothing to doe, but picke thrids ends out of an olde ouerworne garment. This is but by the waie, we must looke backe to our disputants.
There was again the smacking of whips, the clattering of hoofs, and the glittering of harness. The horses started off almost at a bound; the villagers again hurried to right and left; the wheels threw up a cloud of dust, and the aspirin family was rapt out of sight in a whirlwind.

"What ees dat?" inquired the girl, with a look of grave simplicity. "Did I speak?" returned Lawrence, a little confused. "Yes you say, `Ay, ay. Well, well. What a pittie!" "Oh! ah! yes I was only thinking, Manuela. What will you have?" "Som muttin," replied the girl, with a pursing of the little mouth that indicated a tendency to laugh. "It is not mutton. It's beef, I think."
He praised, he praied, hee desired and besought her to pittie him that perisht for her. From this his intranced mistaking extasie could no man remoue him.

Spare my Sonn and I shall goe As willingly to death as to my rest After a painfull child birthe. Looke on him! How fitt the subiect is to invite your pittie! Sir Gef. Hum, what says Bunch? Lady.
If it were no more but to see Plutarke wrest a slight action to mans life, or a word that seemeth to beare no such sence, it will serve for a whole discourse. It is pittie men of understanding should so much love brevitie; without doubt their reputation is thereby better, but we the worse.
