Wonder that a Satire can Put off wildness and turn man, Love, such miracles can do, But this owes itself to you Bright Lady. Keep the goblin from me Gentlemen. You'll know me. Omnes, Barker. No more, the Cynic, I protest You have converted me. Your meaning Sir. I am the man you did encourage Madam To learn to dance, I shall do better shortly, Your love will perfect me, and make me soft, And smooth as any Reveller. Ha, ha, ha, my Love, I am not mad to love a Satire, For that's thy best condition, judgement all, How scurvily this civility shows in him. Faith rail, and keep your humour, still it shows excellent, Does he not become the beast, The Lords allow you pension. Ha, ha, ha. You are a Witch, I'll justify it, and there is not One honest thought among the whole Sex of you, D'ee laugh, lose witted Ladies, there are not In hell such furies, that's a comfort yet To him that shall go thither, he shall have Less torment after death than he finds here. Why Barker? Your wit has got the squirt too, I'll traduce Your Ball for this, and if there be a post, That dares write mischief, look to be worse Than executed. He will come to himself again, when he hath purged Freshwater. Madam your servants beg this favour from you. What is't? That since your resolutions will admit No change of hearts you will not publish how We ha' been jeered. Not jeered, but you came on so desperate. We love our own when we preserve, gentlemen's honour. Then let's toss the Ball. Signior Freshwater, Mercy and silence as you are honourable. May it concern these gentlemen. Why if I must gentlemen, you imagine I ha' been At Venice, but I stayed at Gravesend All this Summer expecting a wind, and finding it So uncertain, will defer the voyage till the Spring, I am not the first whom the winds, and seas have crossed. Then you have crossed no Sea? If you please, I'll require But my principal, and for your good company, I'll stay at home for good, and all to be merry. Nay, nay, you shall go your voyage, We would not have you lose the benefit Of travel, when you come home, you may summon Your debtors by a drum, and showing your bag Of certificates. Receive your money when you can get it, and be Knighted. I thank you gentlemen, I am in a way now, I have sold my land, and put out my money To live I see my heart won't dance tonight, I may to Gravesend in the morning, I can be but pickled in salt water, and I'll Venture one drowning to be revenged Again, again, set, set. What think you of all this? To my wishes, an innocent, and generous recreation. Ladies and Gentlemen, now a banquet waits you, Be pleased to accept, 'twill give you breath and then, Renew our Revels, and toth' Ball again.
