Good still: my brain shall keep't: you must go as you love me. Well: I'll go to make her loathe the shame she's in, The sight of The sight of vice augments the hate of sin, very fine pardie. Mary, Mary Faugh. Hm. Come any worshipfull any blew tooth'd Patrones of wickednesse, giue me the gobletts. By yea, and by nay, master Cocledemoy I fear you're play the knave and restore them. No by the Lord Aunt, Restitution is Catholic and thou know'st we love. What? Oracles are seized: Tempus preteritum, dost hear my worshipful clysterpipe, thou ungodly fire that burned Diana's Temple, dost hear Bawd, In very good truthness you are the foulest mouthed profane railing Brother, call a woman the most ungodly names: I must confess we all eat of the forbidden fruit, and for mine own part though I am one of the family of love and as they say a bawd that covers the multitude of sins, yet I trust I am none of the wicked that eat fish a Fridaies. Hang toasts, I rail at thee my worshipful organ bellows that fills the pipes, my fine rattling phlegmy cough a the lungs and cold with a Pox, I rail at thee what my right precious panderess supporters of barber Surgeons and enchanters of lotium and diet drink: I rail at thee necessary damnation, I'll make an oration, ay, in praise of thy most courtly in fashion, and most pleasurable function. I. I prithee do, I love to hear myself praised, as well as any old Lady, I. List then, a Band, first for her profession or that it it is most worshipful of all the 12. Companies, for as that trade it most honourable that sells the best commodities, as the Draper is more worshipful than the pointmaker, the silkman more worshipful than the Draper, and the Goldsmith more honourable than both, Little Mary: so, that Baud above all, her shop has the best ware, for where these fell but cloth satins, and jewels, she sells divine virtues as virginity, modesty and such rare Gems, and those not like a petty chapman, by retail, but like a great merchant by whole sale, wa, ha, ho, and who are her customers, not base corn cutters, or sowgelders, but most rare wealthy Knights, and most rare bountiful lords are her customers again, where as no trade or vocation profiteth, but by the loss and displeasure of another, as the Merchant thrives none but by the licentiousness of giddy, and unsettled youth: the Lawyer, but by (the vexation of his client, the Physician, but by the maladies of his patient, only my smooth gummed Bawd hues by others' pleasure, and only grows rich by other rising. O merciful gain, O righteous income. So much for her vocation, trade and life, as for their death, how can it be bad, since their wickedness is always before their eyes, and a deaths head most commonly on their middle finger. To conclude, t's most certain they must needs both live well, and do well, since most commonly they live in Clerkenwell, and die in Bridewell Dixi Mary.
