So he will prove a Stoic; I long to have a Stoic strut before me: Here kiss my hand. Come what is that in Latin? Deo●…culor manum, My lip;— nay sir you must if I command you. Osculorte, velosculor ate. His breath smells strong. 'Tis but of Logic Madam. He will come to it one day— you shall go with me To see an exquisite glass to dress me by. Nay, go! you must go first; you are too mannerly. It is the office of your place, so— on▪. Slow Luparus rise, or you'll be metamorphosed; Acteon's fate is imminent. Where's my wife: she's gone with a young Snip, and an old bawd. Then I am cuckolded; if I be my comfort is She'has put me on a cap, that will not trouble me With pulling off, yet Madam I'll prevent you. The next are the extremes of justice. Plus! What says your worship? Have my tenants That hold their lease of lust here in the suburbs, By copyhold from me, their Lord in chief, Paid their rend charge? They have, and't please your worship; I Receiver general gave 'em my acquittance. Sir I resign my Pen, and Inkhorn to you, I shall forget my hand, if I stay here. I have not made a Mittimus since I served you. Were I a reverend justice as you are, I would not sit a Cipher on the Bench, But do as justice Nimis does, and be The Dominus-fac-totun●… of the Sessions. But I will be a Dominus fac miserecordian▪ Instead of your Totums: People shall not wish To see my spurs filled off, it does me good To take a merciful nap upon the Bench, Where I so sweetly dream of being pitiful, wake the better for it. The yearly value Of my fair manor of Clerken-well●…, is pounds So many— besides New years' capons, the Lordship Of Turnball so— which with my Pick-hatch grange— And Shoreditch farm, and other premises Adjoining,— very good, a pretty maintenance To keep a justice of Peace, and Coram too: Besides the fines I take of young beginners,— With harriots of all such as dye, quatenus whores, And ruined bawds, with all Amercements due To such as hunt in Purly; this is something, With mine own Game reserved. Besides a pretty pittance too for me, That am your worship's Bailie. Will't please your worship sir, to hear the Catalogue Of such offenders, as are brought before you? It does not please me Sir, to hear of any That do offend; I would the world were innocent! Yet to express my mercy you may read them. First here is one accused for Cutting a purse, Accused, is that enough? if it be guilt To be accused, who shall be innocent? Discharge him Parum. Here's another brought For the same fact, ta'en in the very Action. Alas it was for need, bid him take warning, And so discharge him too; 'Tis the first time.
