Ra. Do you grin you Pimp? Yes, before the first of March: And as you come back, turn on the Left-hand, and go to the Bookseller, and enquire of him, if there be any new Books come out of Germany, learn what they are, and the Price of them; then desire Goclenius, to do me the Honour to come to Supper with me, tell him I must sup by myself if he don't.
Sy. What do you invite Guests too? You han't Victuals enough in the House to give a Mouse a Meal.
Ra. And when you have done all these, go to the Market, and buy a Shoulder of Mutton, and get it nicely roasted: Do you hear this?
Sy. I hear more than I like to hear.
Ra. But take you Care you remember 'em all.
Sy. I shall scarce be able to remember half of 'em.
Ra. What do you stand loytering here, you idle Knave? You might have been back before now.
Sy. What one Person in the World can do all these? Truly I must wait upon him out, and attend upon him home; I'm his Swabber, his Chamberlain, his Footman, his Clerk, his Butler, his Book-keeper, his Brawl, his Errand-boy, and last of all he does not think I have Business enough upon my Hands, unless I am his Cook too.
