Would wed dust, ashes, A Monument, unless she were— Cracked, tried, And broken up?— Right, Sir, or lacked a Cloak? Mischief and Hell, and was there none to make Your cloak but I? Not so well lined. O you Stayed for a wealthy Cuckold, your tame beast Must have his guilded horns. Yes, Sir, Besides Your age being impotent, you would I knew In conscience wink at my stolen helps, if I Took comfort from abroad. Yes, yes, yes, yes, You shall be comforted, I will maintain A Stallion for you. I will have friends come to me So you'll conceal. Alas, I'll be your Pander; Deliver letters for you, and keep the door. I'll have a woman shall do that. O impudence! Unheard of impudence! Then, Sir, I'll look Your Coffers shall maintain me at my rate. How's that? Why like a Lady; for I do mean To have you Knighted. I shall rise to honour. D'you think I'll have your Factor move before me, Like a Device stirred by a wire, or like Some grave Clock wound up to a regular pace? No, you shall have your Usher, Dame, to stalk Before you like a buskined Prologue, in A stately, high, majestic motion, bare. I do expect it; yes, Sir, and my Coach, Six horses, and Postilion; four are fit For them that have a charge of Children; you And I shall never have any. If we have, All Middlesex is Father. Then Jle have My Footman to run by me when I visit, Or take the air sometimes in Hyde-park. You, Besides being chaste, are good at Races too? You can be a jockey for a need? Y'are pleasant, Sir. Why hark you, hark you, Mistress, you told me You loved retirement, loved not visits, and bargained I should not carry you abroad. You? no; Is't fit I should be seen at Court with you? Such an odd sight as you, would make the Ladies Have melancholy thoughts. You bound me too I should not go to Sea, you loved me so You could not be without me. Not if you stayed Above a year; for should I, in a long voyage, Prove fruitful, I should want a father to The Infant. Most politicly kind, And like a Whore perfect i'th' mystery. It is beyond my sufferance. Pray, Sir, vex, I'll in, and see your Jewels, and make choice Of some for every day, and some to wear At Masques. 'tis very good. Two days. Of this I shall grow mad, or, to redeem myself, commit some outrage— O— SIr, I am sorry such a light offence Should make such deep impressions in you; But that which more afflicts me then the loss of my Great hopes, is, that y'are likely to be abused, Sir, Strangely abused, Sir, by one Baneswright. I hear You are to marry. Did you hear so? Madam Aurelia's woman.
