My lord,

Aught I have in my store is for royalty,

What else there is, I will acquire it.

For if I may on my proficiency:

Many a man have I helped to good fortune,

I have exchanged a magpie for a goat,

Love and vice are clients both: Much of one

Do I make to the other. And there was once

I set my hounds to baying in the wood,

Went round, and bought the field from its farmer.

As for fine things -

I would throw coin at a fish

For a more tenable mooring,

And yet with what breadth this troupe should grant me

I shall not tempt increase, nor withhold

Surfeit from charity, but do my business

To fit this company, for if your lordships,

With no breath of irony, bid me find

And come forth with eternal months of summer,

I should do more than attempt it,

That I would summon all the elements,

Yet be tamed by the dimensions of the scene.

Now, whether some notion of an outfit

Or light suggestion of a set-piece,

You need but mention it.
