Bap. Who comes with him?
Bion. Oh sir, his Lackey, for all the world Caparison'd like the horse: with a linnen stock on one leg, and a kersey boot-hose on the other, gartred with a red and blew list; an old hat, & the humor of forty fancies prickt in't for a feather: a monster, a very monster in apparell, & not like a Christian foot-boy, or a gentlemans Lacky Tra. 'Tis some od humor pricks him to this fashion, Yet oftentimes he goes but meane apparel'd Bap. I am glad he's come, howsoere he comes Bion. Why sir, he comes not Bap. Didst thou not say hee comes? Bion. Who, that Petruchio came? Bap. I, that Petruchio came Bion. No sir, I say his horse comes with him on his backe Bap. Why that's all one Bion. Nay by S[aint]. Iamy, I hold you a penny, a horse and a man is more then one, and yet not many. Enter Petruchio and Grumio. Pet. Come, where be these gallants? who's at home? Bap. You are welcome sir |
