Who's that is cheated, speak again thou vision, But art thou cheated? minister some comfort, Tell me directly art thou cheated bravely, Come, prithee come, art thou so pure a coxcomb To be und one, do not dissemble with me, Tell me I conjure thee. Then keep thy circle, For I am a spirit wild that flies about thee, And who ere thou art, if thou be'st human I'll let thee plainly know, I am cheated damnably. Ha, ha, ha. Dost thou laugh damnably, I say most damnably. By whom, good spirit speak, speak ha, ha, ha. I will utter, laugh till thy lungs crack, by a rascal woman, A lewd, abominable, and plain woman? Dost thou laugh still. I must laugh, prithee pardon me, I shall laugh terribly. I shall be angry, terrible angry, I have cause. That's it, and 'tis no reason but thou shouldst be angry, Angry at heart, yet I must laugh still at thee, By a woman cheated, art' sure it was a woman? I shall break thy head, my valour itches at thee. It is no matter, by a woman cozened, A real woman. A real devil, Plague of her jewels and her copper chains How rank they smell. Sweet cozened sir let me see them, I have been cheated too, I would have you note that And lewdly cheated, by a woman also, A scurvy woman, I am undone sweet Sir, Therefore I must have leave to laugh. Pray ye take it, You are the merriest undone man in Europe. What need we fiddles, bawdy songs and sack, When our own miseries can make us merry. Ha, ha, ha. I have seen these jewels, what a notable pennyworth Have you had next your heart, you will not take Sir Some twenty Ducats. Thou art deceived I will take. To clear your bargain now. I'll take some ten, some any thing, some half ten, Half a Ducat. An excellent lapidary set these stones sure, Do you mark their waters? Quicksand choke their waters, And hers that bought 'em too, but I shall find her. And so shall I, I hope, but do not hurt her, You cannot find in all this kingdom, If you had need of cozening, as you may have, For such gross natures will desire it often, 'tis at some time too a fine variety, A woman that can cozen ye so neatly, She has taken half mine anger off with this trick. If I were valiant now, I would kill this fellow, I have money enough lies by me at a pinch To pay for twenty rascals lives that vex me, I'll to this Lady, there I shall be satisfied. Come, we'll away unto your country house, And there we'll learn to live contently, This place is full of charge, and full of hurry, No part of sweetness dwells about these cities.
