never wet a finger by this sun. Then she helped you with one dry jest or other, but and we may be so bold: faith where are the ladies? sure enough I warrant you, some fools now would have kept 'em hear and have been gulled on 'em again, and laughed at age, but to prevent all danger, we have shipped 'em home for Lacedaemon, to Lacedaemon, your sun of wit shines but dimly in that methinks, to whose charge have you trusted 'em? to them we durst, nay you must think we are no fools, fools: nay deep wit, and policy forbid. We had no sooner their surprisal, but we had disguise ready, a ship ready, a couple of lusty friends ready, the Lacedaemon's intelligencers: durst you trust such precious jewels in such rusty caskets: durst, our health, our lives: why they were my tenants, nay you must think we sifted them, we are no fools in that neither. If in any thing your wits deserve the babble 'tis in that, none but fools would have committed such inestimable peers to a couple of strangers: And in a ship to, And under sail to. And unfurnished of friends to. And without shipping to follow 'em to. you were no fools in any thing but that, & in that not to flatter, you express the true shape of folly and merely merit the name of fools. What will you say now when these fellows surrender us our loves? we'll discharge you and set their names down for gulls in your stead. you know the proverb when the sky falls we shall have larks. And when you can bring proof that we are cozened of our Wenches we'll be the woodcocks. Why then we have once sprung a couple of woodcocks. Do you know these? Who are the fools now? Violletta. My Hippolita: What a strange change is here: yes faith gallants you have very strange carding and you knew all, but I hope you'll offer up your cards and yield the set lost. Gulls: And abused i'll lose my life before I lose my honour, Honour, and life before i'll lose my love: Nay gentlemen we bar all violence, the liberty of our challenge was to all alike equally free, and since these by fair play have won 'em, it stands with our honour to see them peaceably possessed of 'em, then surely take 'em, for though you wear the breeches give us leave to stand a little: why father is't not time that we were sped 'tis a great charge to keep a maidenhead, Lose it we must and to prevent ill course, Better to giveet then have it stolen perforce, if you be pleased let envy do her worst Spit out her poison or contain and burst? Welcome to all, to all a kind god night, They truly live, that live in scorn of spite.
