The Fox grows fat when he is cursed, i'll shave ye smother yet, turd on a tile stone, my lips have a kind of rheum at this bowl, I'll have't, I'll gargalize my throat with this Vintner, and when I have done with him, spit him out, I'll shark, conscience does not repine, were I to bite an honest gentleman a poor grogaran poet, or a penurious Parson, that had but ten pigs tails in a twelvemonth & for want of learning had but one good stool in a fortnight, I were dammed beyond the works of supererogation, but to wring the whythers of my gouty barmd spigot frigging-jumbler of elements. Mulligrub, I hold it as lawful as sheep-shearing, taking eggs from hens, caudles from Asses, or buttered shrimps from horses, they make no use of them, were not provided for them. And therefore worshipful Cocledemoy, hang toasts, on, in grace and virtue to proceed, only beware beware degrees, there be rounds in a ladder, and knots in a halter, ware carts, hang toasts, the common counsel has decreed it, I must draw a lot for the great Goblet. Nay, I pray you stay and drink, and how does your Mistress, I know her very well, I have been inward with her, and so has many more, she was ever a good patient creature i'faith, with all my heart i'll remember your master an honest man, he knew me before I was married, an honest man he is, and a crafty, he comes forward in the world well, I warrant him, and his wife is a proper woman that she is, well, she has been as proper a woman as any in Cheap, she paints now, and yet she keeps her husbands old Customers to him still. Introth a fine faced wife, in a wainscot carved seat, is a worthy ornament to a Tradesman shop, and an attractive I warrant, her husband shall find it in the custom of his ware, I'll assure him, God be with you good youth, I acknowledge the receipt. I acknowledge all the recent sure, 'tis very well spoken, I acknowledge the receipt, thus 'tis to have good education and to be brought up in a Tavern, I do keep as gallant and as good company, though I say it, as any she in London, Squiers, Gentlemen, and knights diet at my table, and I do lend some of them money, and full many fine men go upon my score, as simple as I stand here, and I trust them and truly they very knightly and courtly promise fair, give me very good words, and a piece of flesh when time of year serves, nay, though my husband be a Citizen and's caps made of wool, yet I ha' wit, and can see my good assoon as another, for I have all the thanks, my silly husband, a lass, he knows nothing of it, 'tis I that bear, 'tis I that must bear a brain for all. Fair hour to you Mistress.
