John Dando and Harry Runt

“ Bankes. I, Marocco, I know it, and acknowledge it; and so must thou, if thou haue so much ingenuitie, confesse my kindnes, thou art not onely but also bound to honest Bankes, for teaching thee so many odde prankes. ”

“ Horse. Maius peccatum habes; master, you haue the more to answere, God help you; for I warrant you (though I saie it that should not saie it) , I eat more prouender in foure and twentie houres, than two of the geldings that Robin Snibor keeps, that a hires for two shillings a daie a peece.
Bankes. Two shillings, Marocco, nay, what saist thou by halfe a crowne and ten groats?
Horse. Marie, I say, three daies hire is worth four such horses, saddles and all; for a buyes them for ten pence a saddle at S. Giles, one with another, and those accoutrements are sutable to his steeds. ”

“ If it hang not wel together, thinke the fault is ours that carryed it not well awaie, for truly there was neuer horse in this world aunswered man with more reason, nor neuer man in this world reasond more sensibly with a horse than this man and his horse in this matter, as for example, and so committing you, (not to prison) no,—but to the reading of this dialogue, we end our Epistle to the Reader. ”
