Master young gentleman, I pray you which is the way to Master Jew’s?

LAUNCELOT
Turn up on your right hand at the next [40] turning, but at the next turning of
all, on your left, marry, at the very next turning turn of no hand, but turn
down indirectly to the Jew’s house.

GOBBO
By God’s sonties, ’twill be a hard way to hit! Can you tell me whether one

Launcelot that dwells [45] with him, dwell with him or no?

LAUNCELOT
Talk you of young Master Launcelot? ( Aside) Mark me now, now will I raise
the waters. − Talk you of young Master Launcelot?

GOBBO
No master, sir, but a poor man’s son. His father, [50] though I say’t, is an
honest exceeding poor man and, God be thanked, well to live.

LAUNCELOT

Well, let his father be what ’a will, we talk of young Master Launcelot.

GOBBO

Your worship’s friend, and Launcelot, sir. [55]

LAUNCELOT
But I pray you, ergo old man, ergo I beseech you, talk you of young Master
Launcelot.

GOBBO
Of Launcelot, an’t please your mastership.

LAUNCELOT
Ergo, Master Launcelot. Talk not of Master Launcelot, father, for the young
gentleman, [60] according to Fates and Destinies and such odd sayings, the

Sisters Three and such branches of learning, is indeed deceased, or as you
would say in plain terms, gone to heaven.
