I am resolved to put him to it.
NIC.

FROG .-- And so relinquish the hopefullest cause in the world: a claim that will certainly in the end make thy fortune for ever.
JOHN BULL .-- Wilt thou purchase it, Nic.?
thou shalt have a lumping pennyworth; nay, rather than we should differ, I'll give thee something to take it off my hands.
NIC.

FROG .-- If thou wouldst but moderate that hasty, impatient temper of thine, thou shouldst quickly see a better thing than all that.

What shouldst thou think to find old Lewis turned out of his paternal estates and mansion-house of Claypool ?* Would not that do thy heart good, to see thy old friend, Nic.

Frog, Lord of Claypool?

* Claypool, Paris--Lutetia.
JOHN BULL .-- I love to be plain: I'd as lief see myself in Ecclesdown Castle as thee in Claypool.
