I am ashamed, the world should be cumbered with so childish follies. This Defenders wit, ye say, is to be commended. He maketh a man to hold, that be never had. And what hold they? say you. Mary, they have not this, and that. This is a new kind of holding, for a man to hold, that he hath not. If they hold still, then have they still. But they have not: then how hold they? Now surely, M. Harding, I trow, we shall Have, and Hold a merry man. So pretty sport ye can make your self with Having, and Holding. It were great pity, ye should ever be otherwise occupied. Hannibal of Carthage, when he had heard Phormio the Orator talk pleasantly a long while together,1 being afterward demanded, what he thought of his Eloquence, made answer in his homely sort, Multos see vidisse delitos senes: sed, qui magis, quàm Phormio, deliraret, vidisse neminem.

Mary, they haue not this, and that. This is a newe kinde of holdinge, for a man to holde, that he hath not. If they holde stil, then haue they stil. But they haue not: then howe holde they? Nowe surely, M. Hardinge, I trowe, wee shal Haue, and Holde a mery man. So prety sporte yee canne make youre selfe with Hauinge, and Holdinge. It were great pitie, yee shoulde euer be otherwise occupied. Annibal of Carthage, when he hadde hearde Phormio the Oratoure talke pleasantly a longe whyle togeather,1 beinge afterwarde demaunded, what he thought of his Eloquence, made aunsweare in his homely sorte, Multos se vidisse delitos senes: sed, qui magis, quàm Phormio, deliraret, vidisse neminem.
