Nothing, hang thee villain, I'll cry it at the Market Cross: I'faith, is your awl so free for smock-leather? Good Dame. By these ten fingers I'll double thy years for't: Oh that I knew the Quean, I'd slit her nose, And tear her eyes out of her head i'faith. How now, what's the matter that it thunders so? Oh, you are as good a Master too o'th' to the side: you look to your Prentices well; one of your men has been at green-goose fair; but he shall pay for the sauce I'll warrant him. What Fair? what Sauce, goody gandergoose? Nay, 'tis no matter, as he likes this, let him dance the shaking of the sheets another time. What sheets dame Guinevere? what dance I pray ye? Marry uptails all: do you smell me now? I smell an Ass head of your own: what's all this trow? Pardon me Sir. Unless you stand my friend, Alas I am but dead. Dead, hang ye Rascal, hang ye; you were quick enough when you laid your Whore on her back, to take measure of her new shoes: Would you think it Husband, this young knave has got a wench with child. Hoyda, and is this the shaking of the sheets you talk of, goodwife Snipper Snapper: 'sfoot I like him the better fort: he is of your husband's trade, you old whore, and he has metal in him: dost scold for that, hold your tongue with a pox. ay, ay, one Whoremaster will take part with another still. Peace Walflit, leave gaping. A wench with child? 'sfoot in my my capering days I have done as much myself Sis. ay, beshrew your heart for your labour. Peace Sisley, I shall sow up your lips else; Let me talk with my Prentice: Hast got a maid with child sayst? A maid, marry hang her whore. Yet again, keep your Clack, I'll slit your tongue else.

Who, the Princess? Out upon thee Traitor. 'sfoot will Bow-bell never leave ringing? will the perpetual motion of your old chaps never leave sounding? I shall beat your clapper out anon for't: Ah sirrah, go too boy, no Court-mustard serve your turn but the emperor's Daughter? This is fine i'faith. he'll smoke for't I warrant him.
