Look, they are engendering at the lip. I like it well. Why are our joys deferred? But till tomorrow. 'Tis an age methinks. Kind worm. This cannot be deceit. I want some trifles the Exchange will furnish me, Let it be your motion to my Father. Father and Uncle you will excuse our familiar conversation; I vow I'll be honest till I be married, nor as touch of my flesh within the walls, only the suburbs of her lips or hands, or so, and when, and when is tomorrow the day, the day of coupling and so forth, have you got a licence. It shall be my next work: Pray do, we'll be married here, but keep our wedding at my own house at Croidon, we'll ha' the City Waits down with us, and a noise of Trumpets, we can have Drums i'th' Country, and the train-band, and then let the Spaniards come and they dare, dost hear; here's twenty pieces you shall fribble 'em away at the Exchange presently. How Sir? By this gold she shall Father, lay it out in toothpicks, I'll wear 'em out in my hat; come I'll with you for the licence. Who shall with her? I must attend a project of my daughters. Brains. Sir. Wait on my daughter to the Exchange, observe her carefully. point me a minute to return with her, if I fail put my brains intoth' pot, and let 'em be served up with a calf's head, tomorrow dinner. It succeeds to my wish. Violetta, look you lay out my gold at the Exchange in Bartholomew Fairings, farewell Violetta. Come Mistress will you walk, I would fain see any mortal wit cozen me o' my charge now, I will live to be the shame of politicians, and when I am dead, be clapped up into the Chronicles. Ah the desire of unlawful flesh, what a conjuring dost thou keep within us to lay this little spirit of conscience, the world and the devil, are tame and sprightless temptations, poor traffic to this staple commodity of Whoring: this is the place where I must take shipping for the Summer Islands, if she keep touch, I will call them fortunate, and once a Week make a Love voyage to them. Ha! are we entertained with Music? Back, back again, fond man forbear, Buy not a minute's play too dear: Come with Holy flame and be Welcome to Virtue and to me. Come with Holy flame and be, welcome to Virtue and to me? Flame? I bring none wi' me, and I should be sorry to meet any fire works here, for those hereafter I look on 'em afar off, and apprehend them with less fear, again? Love a thousand sweets distilling, And with Nectar bosoms filling, Charm all eyes that none may find us, Be above, before, behind us; And while we thy pleasures taste Enforce Time itself to stay, And by forelock hold him fast lest occasion slip away.
