Jer. Has Fortune anything to do at this Play?
Nic. She has to do everywhere.
Jer. Well, come let's toss up. O Boys, very well indeed. I have got the Partners I would have.
Nic. And we like our Partners very well.
Jer. Come on, now for't, he that will win, must look to his Game. Let every one stand to his Place bravely. Do you stand behind me ready to catch the Ball, if it goes beyond me; do you mind there, and beat it back when it comes from our Adversaries.
Nic. I'll warrant ye, I'll hit it if it comes near me.
Jer. Go on and prosper, throw up the Ball upon the House. He that throws and do's not speak first shall lose his Cast.
Nic. Well, take it then.
Jer. Do you toss it; if you throw it beyond the Bounds, or short, or over the House, it shall go for nothing, and we won't be cheated: And truly you throw nastily. As you toss it, I'll give it you again; I'll give you a Rowland for an Oliver; but it is better to play fairly and honestly.
Nic. It is best at Diversion, to beat by fair Play.
