I do strangely, yes, and I like it too, thanks to his mony.

_Die_.

Would he would live with me, and learn to dig too.

_Lop_.

A wondrous modest man, sir.

_Bar_.

So it seems,

His dear love to his Studie must be nourish'd,

Neighbour, he's like to prove.

_Lop_.

With your good counsel,

And with your diligence, as you will ply him;

His Parents, when they know your care--

_Bar_.

Come hither.

_Die_.

An honester young man, your worship ne're kept,

But he is so bashfull--

_Bar_.

O I like him better.

Say I should undertake ye, which indeed, sir,

Will be no little straitness to my living,

Considering my Affairs, and my small house, sir,

For I see some promises that pull me to ye;

Could you content your self, at first thus meanly,

To lie hard, in an out-part of my house, sir?

For I have not many Lodgings to allow ye;

And studie should be still remote from company;

A little fire sometimes too, to refresh ye;

A Student must be frugal: sometimes Lights too,

According to your labour.

_Lea_.

Any thing, Sir,

That's dry, and wholsome: I am no bred-wanton.

_Bar_.

Then I receive you: but I must desire ye

To keep within your confines.

_Lea_.

Ever Sir,

There's the Gold, and ever be your servant,

Take it and give me Books: may I but prove, sir,

According to my wish, and these shall multiply.

_Lop_.

Do, study hard, pray ye take him in, and settle him,

He's only fit for you; Shew him his Cell, sir.

_Die_.

Take a good heart; and when ye are a cunning Lawyer,

I'le sell my Bells, and you shall prove it lawfull.

_Ba_.

Come, sir, with me: neighbours I thank your diligence.

_Lop_.

I'le come sometimes, and crack a case with ye.

_Bar_.
