Nuw we shall haue a fiction I beleiue. Had three Suitors at once. You'll leave out none my Lord. No more did you Winifred you interfered with them all in truth. O Monstrous Lord by this light! Now Sir to make my tale short I will do that which she did not; vz. leave out the two first, the third coming the third night for his turn. My Lord, my Lord, my Lady does that, that nobody else does, desires your company and so fare you well. O stay a little sweet Winifred, help me but to truss my points again, and have with you. Not I by my truth my Lord, I had rather see your hose about your heels, than I would help you to truss a point. O witty Winifred? for that left, take thy passport, and tell thy Ladies thou leftest me with my hose about my heels. Well, well my Lord you shall sit till the moss grow a bout your he les, ere I come at you again. She cannot abide to hear of her three Suitors; but is not this very fit my sweet Clarence? Thou seest my rare Niece cannot sleep without me; but forty company's sake, she shall tonight; and in the morning I will visit her early; when do thou but stand in that place, and thou mayest chance hear, (but art sure to see) in what subtle, and far-fetched manner I'll solicit her about thee. Thanks worthy Lord. I That have studied with world- scorning thoughts the way of heaven, and how true heaven is reached To know how mighty, and how many are The strange affections of enchanted number How to distinguish all the motions Of the Celestial bodies, and what power doth separate in such form this massy Round: What is his Essence, Efficacies, Beams? Footsteps, and Shadows? what Eternesses is The world, and Time, and Generation? What Soul, the worlds Soul is? what the black Springs And unrevealed Original of Things, What their perseverance— what is life and death, And what our Certain restoration? Am with the staid-heads of this Time employed To watch with all my Nerves a Female shade. Witty Mistress Winifrid, where is your Countess I pray? Faith your Lordship is bold enough to seek her out, if she were at her urinal? Then Sh'as done it seems, for here she comes to save me that labour, away wenches, get you hence wenches. What, can you not abide my maids uncle? I never could abide a maid in my life Niece, but either I draw away the maid, or the maidenhead with a wet finger. You love to make yourself worse then you are still. I know few mend in this world Madam, For the worse the better thought on, the better the worse spoken on ever amongst women. I wonder where you have been all this while with your sentences. Faith where I must be again presently. I cannot stay long with you my dear Niece.
