Everything do be but good in this place.

I pray thee, thou hast said that these are delicious.
This is my good captain, the good captain of thy meal.
I may be thy servant, this is thy captain.
Ay, tis Captain I.
Ay, so much attention be but upon me.
Everything is wonderful.
Thine eyes belie what thou dost say.
Could it be thou hast complaint? But bear thee well.

the guest.
Oh, indeed.
This be bad to a man.
