PrSCATOR. 



YOU are well overtaken, Gentlemen, a good morning 

 to you both ; I have stretched my legs up Tottenham 

 hill to overtake you, hoping your business may occa- 

 sion you towards Ware, whither I am going this fine, 

 fresh May morning. 



Venator. Sir, I for my part shall almost answer 

 your hopes ; for my purpose is to drink my morniriir's 

 draught at the ThatchM-house in Hodsden, and I think 

 not to rest till I come thither, where I have appointed 

 a friend or two to meet me : but for this gentleman that 

 you see with me, 1 know not how far he intends his 

 journey ; he came so lately into my company, that 1 

 have scarcely had time to ask him the question*
