You are a gallant One of my old Lord Fancies. Peevish girl Was't ever heard that youth could dote on sickness, A grey beard, wrinkled face, a dried up marrow, A toothless head,— a— this is but a merriment, Merely but trial. Romanello loves thee, Has not abundance, true, yet cannot want. Return with me, and I will leave these fortunes, Good Maid, of gentle nature. By my hopes, I never placed affection on that Gentleman, Though 'a deserved well; I have told him often My resolution. Will you hence, and trust to My care of settling you a peace. No surely, Such treaty may break off. Off be't broken, I'll do what thou shalt rue. You cannot Livio. So confident? young Mistress mine, I'll do't. Incomparable Maid. You have been Counsellor To a strange Dialogue. If there be constancy In protestation of a virtuous nature; You are secure, as the effects shall witness. Be noble, I am credulous, my language Hath prejudiced my heart; I and my Brother ne'er parted at such distance; yet I glory In the fair race he runs: but fear the violence Of his disorder. Little time shall quit him. The young Whelp is mad, I must slice the worm out of his breech: I have noosed his neck in the Collar; and I will once turn Dog-leech. Stand from about me, or you'll find me terrible and furious. Lady's good Ladies, dear Madam Morosa. Honest Secco. What was the cause? what wrong has he done to thee? Why dost thou fright us so, and art so peremptory where we are present fellow? Honey-bird, Spouse, catamountain; ah the Child, the pretty poor Child; the sweet faced Child. That very word halters the earwig. Off I say, or I shall lay bare all the naked truth to your faces: his foreparts have been so lusty, and his posteriors must do penance for't: Untruss Whiskin untruss; away burrs, out mare-hag moil; avaunt, thy turn comes next, avaunt thy turn comes next; avaunt the Horns of my rage are advanced; hence or I shall gore ye. Lash him soundly, let the little Ape show tricks. Help, or I shall be throttled. Yes, I will help thee pretty heart, if my tongue cannot prevail; my nails shall. Barbarous minded man, let go, or I shall use my talons. Well played Dog, well played Bear, sa, sa, sa; to't to't. Fury, whore, bawd, my Wife and the Devil. tosspot, stinkard, pander, my husband & a rascal. Scold Coxcomb, baggage, Cuckold. Crabbed Age and Youth Cannot jump together: One is like good luck, Tother like foul weather. Let us fall in now: What uncivil rudeness Dares offer a disturbance to this company. Peace and delights dwell here, not brawls and outrage: Sirrah be sure you show some reasons why You so forget your duty? quickly show it, Or I shall tame your choler; what's the ground on't?

You are a gallant One of my old Lord Fancies. Peevish girle Was't ever heard that youth could doate on sicknesse, A gray beard, wrinckled face, a dryed up marrow, A toothlesse head,—a—this is but a merriment, Meerely but triall. Romanello loves thee, Has not abundance, true, yet cannot want. Returne with me, and I will leave these fortunes, Good Maid, of gentle nature. By my hopes, I never plac'd affection on that Gentleman, Tho a deserv'd well; I have told him often My resolution. Will you hence, and trust to My care of setling you a peace.
