TRASILINE. 
                Well ore tane my Lord.

LYON.  Noble friend welcome, and see who encounters
                us, honourable good Clerimon.

CLE.  My good Lord Lyon, most happily met worthy
                Trasiline,
                Come gallants, what’s the newes,
                the season affoords us variety,
                the novilsts of our time runnes on heapes,
                to glut their itching eares with airie sounds,
                trotting to’th burse; and in the Temple walke
                with greater zeale to heare a novall lye,
                than a pyous Anthum tho chanted by Cherubins.

TRANS.  True Sir: 
                and holds set counsels, to vent their braine sicke opinions
                with presagements what all states shall designe.

CLE.  Thats as their intelligence serves.

LYON.  And that shall serve as long as invention lastes,
                there dreames they relate, as spoke from Oracles,
                or if the gods should hold a synod, and make them their
                secritaries, they will divine and prophecie too:  but come
                and speake your thoughts of the intended marriage with
                the Spanish Prince.  He is come you see, and bravely
                entertainde.
