Thou are clearkly; thou art clearkly (Sir John) was there a wise woman with thee? I that there was (mine Host) one that hath taught me more wit, than ever I learned before in my life: and I paid nothing for it neither, but was paid for my learning. Out alas (Sir) cozonage: mere cozonage. Where be my horses? Speak well of them varletto. Run away with the cozoners: for so soon as I came beyond Eton, they threw me off, from behind one of them, in a slough of mire; and set spurs, and away; like three germane-divels; three Doctor Faustaffes. They are gone but to meet the Duke (villain) do not say they be fled: germans are honest men. Where is mine Host? What is the matter Sir? Have a care of your entertainments: there is a friend of mine come to town, tells me there is three Cozen-Iermans, that has cozened all the Hosts of Readius, of Maidenhead; of Cole-brooke, of horses and money: I tell you for good will (look you) you are wise, and full of gibes, and ulouting-stocks: and 'tis not convenient you should be cozoned. Far you well. Ver'is mine Host de Jarteere? Here (Master Doctor) in perplexity, and doubtful dilemma. I cannot tell vat is dat: but it is tell-a-me, dat you make grand preparation for a Duke de jamanie: by my trot; der is no Duke that the Court is know, to come▪ I tell you for good will; adieu. Hue and cry, (villain) go: assist me Knight, I am undone: fly, run: huy, and cry (villain) I am undone. I would all the world might be cozond, for I have been cozond and beaten too: if it should come to the ear of the Court, how I have been transformed; and how my transformation hath been washed, and cudgeled, they would melt me out of my fat drop by drop, and liquor Fishermens-boots with me: I warrant they would whip me with their fine wits, till I were as crest-fallen as a dride-peare I neur prospered since I forswore myself at Primero: well, if my wind were but long enough; I would repent; Now? Whence come you? From the two parties forsooth. e Diuell take one partie, and his Dam the other: and so they shall bee both bestowed; I haue suffer'd more for their sakes; more then the villanous inconstancy of mans disposition is able to beare. And have not they suffered? Yes, I warrant; speciously one of them; Mistress Ford (good heart) is beaten black and blue, that you cannot see a white spot about her. What tell'st thou me of black, and blue? I was beaten myself into all the colours of the rainbow: and I was like to be apprehended for the Witch of Brainford, but that my admirable dexterity of wit, my counterfeiting the action of an old woman delivered me, the knave Constable had set meith ' Stocks, i'th' common Stocks, for a Witch.
