Chettle:
Masters indeed! Here’s Shakespeare would put down any of them in anything.
Jonson:
I’m not sure of that, Chettle. The Agamemnon’s a great play.
Chettle:
Ay, but what say you to Henry IV.! That’s the play for me. I warrant the Greeks had nothing like Falstaff. What d’ye say, Shakespeare? Stand for your own, my boy!
Jonson:
He lacks the language, the window through which the Greeks must be studied.
Chettle:
It’s wit, man, ye want, not knowledge. Come, Will. Put the Briton above the Greek: I’ll tarre you on.
