There needs none man: A straw on pardon: prithee need no pardon: I'll ask no more, nor think no more of marriage, For O my conscience I shallbe thy Cuckold: there's some good yet left in him: bear yourself well, You may recover me, there's twenty pound sir, I see some sparkles which may flame again, You may eat with me when you please, you know me. Why do you lie so damnably, so foolishly? Dost thou long to have thy head broke? hold thy peace And do as I would have thee, or by this hand I'll kill thy Parrot, hang up thy small hand, And drink away thy dowry to a penny. Was ever such a wild Ass? Prithee be quiet, And dost thou think men will not beat thee monstrously For abusing their wives and children? And dost thou think men's wives and children can be abused too much? I wonder at thee. Nay, thou shalt adjure me Before I have done. How stand ye with your mistress? I shall stand nearer Ere I be twelve hours older: there's my business, She is monstrous subtle Doll. The devil I think Cannot out subtle thee. If he play fair play, Come, you must help me presently. I discard ye. Thou shalt not sleep nor eat. I'll no hand with ye, No bawd to your abuses. By this light Doll, Nothing but in the way of honesty. Thou never knewest that road: I hear your vigil Sweet honey Doll, if I do not marry her, Honestly marry her, if I mean not honourably, Come, thou shalt help me, take heed how you vex me, I'll help thee to a husband too, a fine gentleman, I know thou art mad, a tall young man, a brown man, I swear he has his maidenhead, a rich man. You may come in to dinner, and I'll answer ye. Nay I'll go with thee Doll: four hundred a year wench. GOod sir go back again, and take my counsel, Sores are not cured by sorrows, nor time broke from us, Pulled back again by sighs. What should I do friend? Do that that may redeem ye, go back quickly, Sebastian's daughter can prevail much with her, The Abbess is her Aunt too. But my friend then Whose love and loss is equal tied. Content ye, That shall be my task if he be alive, Or where my travel and my care may reach him, I'll bring him back again. Say he come back To piece his poor friends life out? and my mistress Be vowed for ever a recluse? So suddenly She cannot, haste ye therefore instantly away sir, To put that daughter by first as to a father, Then as a friend she was committed to ye, And all the care she now has: by which privilege She cannot do her this violence, But you may break it, and the law allows ye. O but I forced her to it.

There needes none man: A ſtraw on pardon: prethee need no pardon: Ile aske no more, nor thinke no more of marriage, For O my conſcience I ſhalbe thy Cuckold: Ther's ſome good yet left in him: beare your ſelfe well, You may recover me, ther's twenty pound ſir, I ſee ſome ſparkles which may flame againe, You may eat with me when you pleaſe, you know me. Why do you lye ſo damnably, ſo fooliſhly? Do'ſt thou long to have thy head broke? hold thy peace And doe as I would have thee, or by this hand I'le kill thy Parrat, hang up thy ſmall hand, And drinke away thy dowry to a penny. Was ever ſuch a wilde Aſſe? Prethee be quiet, And do'ſt thou think men will not beat thee monſtrouſly For abuſing their wives and children? And do'ſt thou thinke Mens wives and children can be abus'd too much? I wonder at thee. Nay, thou ſhalt adjure me Before I have done. How ſtand ye with your miſtreſſe? I ſhall ſtand neerer Ere I be twelve houres older: ther's my buſineſſe, She is monſtrous ſubtile Doll. The divell I thinke Cannot out ſubtle thee. If he play faire play, Come, you muſt helpe me preſently. I diſcard ye. Thou ſhalt not ſleep nor eate. I'le no hand with ye, No bawd to your abuſes. By this light Doll, Nothing but in the way of honeſty. Thou never knew'ſt that road: I heare your vigile Sweet honey Doll, if I doe not marry her, Honeſtly marry her, if I meane not honourably, Come, thou ſhalt help me, take heed how you vex me, I'le help thee to a husband too, a fine gentleman, I know thou art mad, a tall yong man, a brown man, I ſweare he has his maidenhead, a rich man. You may come in to dinner, and I'le anſwere ye. Nay I'le goe with thee Doll: four hundred a yeere wench. GOod ſir go back again, and take my counſell, Sores are not cur'd by ſorrows, nor time broke from us, Pul'd back again by ſighes. What ſhould I doe friend? Doe that that may redeeme ye, goe back quickly, Sebaſtians daughter can prevaile much with her, The Abbeſſe is her Aunt too. But my friend then Whoſe love and loſſe is equall ty'd. Content ye, That ſhall be my taske if he be alive, Or where my travell and my care may reach him, I'le bring him backe againe. Say he come backe To piece his poor friends life out? and my miſtreſſe Be vow'd for ever a recluſe? So ſuddenly She cannot, haſte ye therefore inſtantly away ſir, To put that daughter by firſt as to a father, Then as a friend ſhe was committed to ye, And all the care ſhe now has: by which priviledge She cannot doe her this violence, But you may breake it, and the law allowes ye. O but I forc'd her to it.
