And why not; 'tis an ancient Church, and all old things must not be cast away, there has been many an honest couple given to the lawful bed there, so there has. No matter for that, he protested he would be married in a Tavern ere that pencridge, there's no drink ne'er it; but at the pinner of Wakefield, and that's abominable, and he has vowed to season their bargain with a cup of Sack ere they return. He will not be drunk on's wedding night I hope; my daughter would have a sweet bedfellow of him, if he should. There is another loving couple gone with them too for company, who will be man and wife if the Priest say Amen to it. who are they of our knowledge? O yes sir, 'tis Master Lovering, the attendant to Master Knoworth, and Sir Martine's Niece that came but yesterday. Is't possible? 'twas some sly policy of her Uncles to bring her hither, Master Lovering knew her before it seems. Too well I fear sir, they would not have married in such post haste else. Well Master Doctor, I hope my gloves shall be better than the ordinary, I had no small hand in this match, you know. 'tis nine o'clock at least: 'twill not belong ere they return, wife pray go in and see all things in readiness for their lodgings. They will have more stomachs to their beds then to their suppers. Tomorrow we'll celebrate their nuptial feast: Urinal be you careful of the doors; let none come in but our own company. I'll lock them up, and keep the keys myself sir, Mrs. Mixum your husband is with them, and in his absence I would desire a word with you. I love to talk with any man in my husband's absence; sweet Urinal I will fulfil your pleasure, will you go Mistress? So now have at her. Have I not plotted finely? has my brain not won the laurel garland the famed breath That wafts the honour of deserving wits Among the humorous multitude (as loud As it speaks conquering triumphs) shall proclaim My politic merit, who have raised myself From worse than no name in the judging world, To an indifferent wealth, which though i've got By ways sinister, such as err from truth: Nay might incur a punishment no eyes Has ere discerned them, but with wonder how I should achieve such fortune, now complete In this alliance. Sister, let's to our chambers and to bed, That time approaches. Your good Ladyship (I hope) will honour me so much As for an hour to dispense with rest, And see my bride in bed. Your bride good Master Doctor, who should that be? I understand you not. My daughter Ladies, that to me And all the house seemed so averse from marriage, Is this night stolen forth with younker Sconce, And is by this time wedded to him.
