Out-alas my Obligations, my Bonds, I am undone, undone. Sir, the best news is, your ship (the Hopewell) hath happed ill, returning from Barbary. 'tis but sunk, or so, not a scrap of goods saved. villains, Rogues, Jews, Turks, Infidels, my nose will rot off with grief. O the Gout, the Gout, the Gout, I shall run mad, run mad, run mad. Amen, amen, amen. But there's other news to comfort you withal sir. Let's hear them good Flawne. My ship, my bonds, my bonds, my ship, I shall run mad unless thy good news reclaim me. Let's hear thy news. Your house with all the furniture is burnt, not a rag left, the people stand warming their hands at the fire, and laugh at your misery. I defy heaven, earth and hell, renounce my nose, plague, pestilence, confusion, famine, sword and fire, devour all, devour me, devour Flawne, devour all: bonds, house, and ship, ship, house, and bonds, Despair, Damnation, Hell, I come, I come, so room for Mammon, room for Usury, room for thirty in the hundred. I come, I come, I come. Why methinks this is right now, I'll even lay him up in Bedlam, commit him to the mercy of the whip, the entertainment of bread and water, and the the sting of a usurers Conscience for ever. Truly Mistress Winifrid, as I would be willing to be thankful, and thankful to find you willing to prostrate your fair parts to my pleasure, so I hope you will remember your promise, and promise what you now remember, if you have forgot, I would be glad to put you in mind of it. Truly friend Iohn, as I would be loath to break my promise, so I would be unwilling to keep my word to the dishonesting of my virginity. Marry for a night's lodging or so, I will not be straight laced to my friend. Therefore thus it must be. tonight I must lie at the Farm at Holloway, thither shall you be conveyed in this Sack, & laid in my chamber, from whence you shall have free access to the pleasures of my private bed. Well then be constant Winifrid, and you shall find me faithful Jack Drum: and so taking leave of your lips, I betake me to the tuition of the Sack. Winifrid my Mistress Camelia stays for you to attend her to the Green, I must go and clap my tabor cheeks there, for the heavens i'faith.
