I shall shortly Be one myself, I learn to dance already, And wear short cloaks; I mean in your next Masque To have a part, I shall take most extremely. You will inflame the Ladies, Sir. They'll strive Who shall most privately convey Jewels. Into your hand. This is an excellent fellow; Who is't? Rich Seathrift's son that's gone to sea This morning with my Uncle. Is this he Whose sister thou shouldst marry? The wench that brings Ten thousand pound. My Uncle would fain have me, But I have cast her off. Why? Faith she's handsome, And had a good wit, but her schoolmistress Has made her a rank Puritan. let's take him Along with us and Captain Quartfield shall show him. 'twill be an excellent Comedy, and afterwards I have a project on him. Gentlemen Shall we dine at an Ordinary? You Shall enter me among the Wits. Sir, I Will but shift clothes then we'll associate you. But first you shall with us and see a Lady, Rich as your Father's chests and odd holes; and Fresh as Pygmalion's Mistress newly wakened Out of her Alabaster. Lead on; I long to see a Lady and to salute her. WHY we shall have you get in time the turn Up of your Eyes, speak in the Nose, draw sighs Of an ell long, and rail at Discipline. Would I could hear from Baneswright, ere I'll be tortured With your preciseness thus, I'll get dry palms With starching, and put on my smocks myself. Surely you may, and air'em too, there have been Very devout and holy women that wore No shift at all. Such Saints you mean as wore Their Congregations, and swarmed with Christian Vermin. You'll hold clean linen Heresy? Surely yes, Clean linen in a surplice; That and powders Do bring dry summers, make the sickness rage, And th' Enemy prevail, It was revealed To Ms Scruple and her husband, who Do verily ascribe the German war, And the late persecutions, to curling, False Teeth, and Oil of talc. Now she is in A Lecturer will sooner hold his peace Then she. And surely, as Master Scruple says, That was her Schoolmaster. One that cools a feast With his long grace, and sooner eats a Capon Then blesses it. And proves it very well Out of a book that suffered martyrdom By fire in Cheapside, since Amulets, and Bracelets, And Lovelocks were in use, the price of sprats, Ierusalem Artichokes, and Holland Cheese, Is very much increased, so that the Brethren, Butchers I mean, and such poor zealous Saints, As earn five groats a week under a stall, By singing Psalms, and drawing up of holes, Can't live in their vocation, but are fain To turn— Old breeches. Surely, Teachers and Prophets. O Mr Baneswright, are you come? my woman Was in her preaching fit, she only wanted A table's end.
