Shall not bate an accent of that title my Catamptial Monkey, but you must look out for spider's Monkey, and the Sprall of all four Puzz: I have laid the foundation in gold already. Hast had a good return of thy ring's chuck? Rings hangum, they are as stale as Scotch Lanson, Or as your Decoy, No, I have sent 'em out in a desperate venture to Cape. No Monkey, my old friend Franciscus hath repaired my Jacket already, & has promised to new thatch my outside too. One of these boxes has 100 pieces of new gold, With chains and keys correspondent. For what use Chick? For a dead lift Monkey: a Leaguer cannot be planted, manned, victualled and munitioned with a small Magazine: to work Monkey, a mousing Puss, make choice of your company, admit no parley with the popular, be high and proud of thyself, and let those that will needs buy thee, pay soundly for thee with a pox to 'em, Puss a wink to the wise, you know my mind, let's have no more midnight caterwaulings under sale-men's shop windows, Vintners dark cellars, no Justices long Entries, but bear up yourself so civil and so meager, You may be styled a sister of the Leaguer. Away you Rogue. As I am a Gentleman body and soul I'll break your windows. Master, as you are a man stand and tickle her. Will you, you Rascal. Ah, sweet heart, prithee good woman. Nay, let her come I'll give her heart belly full. Let her alone Fub: let her alone, by this hand, I'll make the boys maul her Ruffs. Fie how I am tired a whoreson stinking shamelegged, Fie, fie, fie, use a Gentlewoman thus in her own lodging. How does your back, O the Fucas, out alas, here's half a Crown in Complexion utterly cast away. If I be not even with the Rutter— If he come where you have to do, let him pay soundly. A plague upon his ass's ears, by my Virginity, I'll send his beard into New-found-land for this. And so I would, to make lines to catch Cods: out, out, out, a Gentleman, and use a woman no otherwise; i'faith, yfath, it stands not with his reputation. A whoreson smelled: Mistress Durable, I would I had some of your aqua vitae, I'm sick after the conflict. And shall good woman, come, come, pray keep yourself warm. Forsake me honour, when I do forget the bond of friendship, let not poverty, no, nor your father's haviour Julio: though our Venetian law proved him a Traitor: come pluck away your interest from my breast: when we were pupils in the Academy, I was Franciscus and your fellow then; I am Franciscus and your fellow still, nor can be altered: I have now a heart as free from pride, as when I clipped thee thus, before thou knew'st the taste of poverty, or I prosperity. Think not ancient friend I can forget thee, though thy need were such as beggary despised.
