Speed. She, that your worship loves? A porn Å lay Val. Why, how know you that I am in love? Speed. Marry, by thefe fpecial marks; first, you have learn'd, like Sir Protheus, to wreath your arms like a male-content; to relifh a love-fong, like a Robin-red-breaft; to walk alone, like one that had the peftilence; to figh, like a school-boy that had loft his A, B, C; to weep, like a young wench that had buried her grandam; to faft, like one that takes diet; to watch, like one that fears robbing to-fpeak puling, like a beggar at Hallowmafs. You were wont,

when you laugh'd, to crow like a cock; when you walk'd, to walk like one of the lions; when you fafted, it was presently after dinner; when you look'd fadly, it was for want of mony; and now you are metamorphos'd with a mistress, that, when I look on you, I can hardly think you my mafter., Val. Are all these things perceiv'd in me? Speed. They are all perceiv'd without ye. Val. Without me? they cannot.

Val. Not fo fair, boy, as well-favour'd.
Speed. Sir, I know that well enough.
