Alas, good Gentleman,

I am a poor man, and a private too,

Unfit to keep a Servant of your Reckoning;

My house a little Cottage, and scarce able

To hold my self, and those poor few live under it;

Besides, you must not blame me Gentlemen,

If I were able to receive a Servant,

To be a little scrupulous of his dealing,

For in these times—

Lop.
