They would have me leave off my pride and my swearing,

My new-fangled fashions, and leave off this wearing.

But rather than I such companions will have,

I will see a thousand of them laid in their grave.

Similis similem sibi quærit, such a one do I seek,

As unto myself in every condition is like.

New. Sir, you are welcome; ye seem to be an honest man,

And I will help you in this matter, as much as I can,

If you will tarry here a while, I tell you in good sooth,

I will find one as fit for you as a pudding for a friar's mouth.
