A good subsidy face mistress, but master Mixum has certified me, that hither come Ladies and gentlewomen, City wives and country wives, and the better sort of sailors wives: Nay wives of all sorts, but Oyster wives, some to have the falling sickness cured, others the inflammation of the blood, the Consumption of the body and lungs; if I do not to any man or woman administer a glister, vomit, potion, julip, Cordial, or what physic your worship shall think fit, with dexterity, say I am no sound Urinal, and beat me to pieces. I believe thee, but did Tom Mixum give you nought in charge to say to me? O yes sir, he had me tell you he had a fat Goose in the pens, only for your pulling: a younker of a thousand pound per annum. Sayst so, what is he; knowest thou? I saw him sir, he was a proper man: but I think has not much more wit than myself, he seems of a good sane disposition, and may I believe, be led by the nose as quietly as the tamest Bear in the garden: he has not wit enough to be a knave, nor manhood enough to be an honest man: this is my opinion of him sir, when you see him you'll understand him better. With licences, is not this house a receptacle For sinners? Now you are in't perhaps it is, what mean you? Pish, seem not to obscure, is it not in plain terms, a house of ease. There is one in the garden sir. Where one may do his business without fear of Marshal, Constable, or any one of that most awful tribe. Surely this gentleman comes to take a purge, he talks so cleanly. Shall I have answer sir? I come as hot from sea, as a Hollander from herring fishing, I have an appetite, The most insatiate citizen who frequents Your mansion cannot tame; had she been fed With amber possets, eaten sparrows eggs, or her accustomed Bevendy, been the juice of Clare or Sparagus. What abuse may this be? Perhaps your most officious pander monsieur That for a shilling will betray his sister to prostitution; did mistake, be gone, or I shall Fetch a gentleman will whip your hot blood out of you. Shall I run for the beadle's mistress? No go to the next Justice for a warrant, and make haste, be sure I'll have the knave smoked for abusing my house. This must not fright me, do you not keep a pimping Roaring varlet noted as much as pig, have you not constant She soldiers in your citadel, none such, Had Hollands leaguer, Lambeth Marsh is held A nunnery to your College. And the three Squirrels in the town; I warrant a very Sanctuary to it. Come here's gold, be not so bashful, Mistress pray receive it, I know you are open handed. Now I defy thee for a Rascal's Urinal why run you not to the Justice, his man would have taken your money ere this time.
