  Come hither, young one,—Mark me! Thou art now
 'Mongst men o' the sword, that live by reputation
 More than by constant income—Single-suited
 They are, I grant you; yet each single suit
 Maintains, on the rough guess, a thousand followers—
 And they be men, who, hazarding their all,
 Needful apparel, necessary income,
 And human body, and immortal1 soul,
 Do in the very deed but hazard nothing— So strictly2 is that ALL bound in reversion;
 Clothes to the broker3, income to the usurer,
 And body to disease, and soul to the foul4 fiend;
 Who laughs to see Soldadoes and Fooladoes,
 Play better than himself his game on earth.
                                        The Mohocks.
“Your lordship,” said Reginald Lowestoffe, “must be content to exchange your decent and court-beseeming rapier, which I will retain in safe keeping, for this broadsword, with an hundredweight of rusty5 iron about the hilt, and to wear these huge-paned slops, instead of your civil and moderate hose. We allow no cloak, for your ruffian always walks in cuerpo; and the tarnished6 doublet of bald velvet7, with its discoloured embroidery8, and—I grieve to speak it—a few stains from the blood of the grape, will best suit the garb9 of a roaring boy. I will leave you to change your suit for an instant, till I can help to truss you.”
 
Lowestoffe
