Excellent Francke, let us hug thee. Nay this I will do besides; I'll take you off twelve pence from every Angel, with a kind of Aquafortis, and never deface any part of the Image. But then it will want weight? You shall restore that thus: Take your sal Achyme prepared, and your distilled Urine; and let your Angels lie in it but four and twenty hours, and they shall have their perfect weight again: come on now I hope this is enough to put some spirit into the livers of you, I'll infuse more another time. We have saluted the proud Air long enough with our bare sconces, now will I have you to a wench's house of mine at London, there make shift to shift us, and after such fortunes as the stars shall assign us. Notable Frank! we will ever adore thee. Now sweet friend you have brought me near enough your Tavern, which I desired that I might with some colour be seen near, inquiring for my husband; who I must tell you stale thither last with my wet gown we have left at your friends: which, to continue your former honest kindness, let me pray you to keep close from the knowledge of any; and so, with all vow of your requital, let me now entreat you to leave me to my woman's wit, and fortune. All shall be done you desire; and so, all the fortune you can wish for, attend you. I will once more to this unhappy Tavern before I shift one rag of me more, that I may there know what is left behind, and what news of their passengers. I have bought me a Hat and band with the little money I had about me, and made the streets a little leave staring at my nightcap. O my dear husband! where have you been tonight? all night abroad at Taverns? rob me of my garments? and fare as one run away from me? alas! is this seemly for a man of your credit? of your age? and affection to your wife? What should I say? how miraculously sorts this? was not I at home, and called thee last night? Yes Sir, the harmless sleep you broke, and my answer to you would have witnessed it, if you had had the patience to have stayed and answered me; but your so sudden retreat, made me imagine you were gone to Master Brambles, and so rested patient, and hopeful of your coming again, till this your unbelieved absence brought me abroad with no less than wonder, to seek you, where the false Knight had carried you. Villain, and Monster that I was, how have I abused thee, I was suddenly gone indeed! for my sudden jealousy transferred me. I will say no more but this dear wife I suspected thee. Did you suspect me?
