Plain Dealer
, Act II. sc. I.
| Novel (a pert railing coxcomb) | These sea captains make nothing of dressing. But let me tell you, sir, a man by his dress, as much as by anything, shows his wit and judgment; nay, and his courage too. |
| Freeman | How, his courage, Mr. Novel? |
| Novel | Why, for example, by red breeches, tucked-up hair, or peruke, a greasy broad belt, and now-a-days a short sword. |
