Hear thee? I have heard too much of thee, too too much, too much, where's my husband? bring forth my husband, i'll teach him to put a difference betwixt Ioan and my Lady I hold him ten pound on't, and yet I will not scold neither, and I had been an old hag past teeming, as his whore is a puritan, it had been somewhat, but being a woman of Gods making, & a Lady of his own, and wearing mine own hair which is much in a Lady of my standing I can tell you, to use me thus, flesh and blood cannot endure it, let me come in, open the door let me come in, O that I were any vile thing in the world but a Lady that I might scold a little. So, so, so, take your places, for this same bald pated oak is the stage, where ye shall see the part of a doting fool performed by an old man and a young wench. Who worshipful Dametas? The same man. Hath he no fellow Actors in his most lamentable, comical, historical, tragical, musical, pasto●a'l? None that require any mouthing but his Ass and himself, marry then he has Signior Mattocke, a very sharp satirical humorist, and monsieur le spade, but he goes somewhat more bluntly to his business, yet he'll serve for mutes, and as good as the best to furnish out the stage. But dares Dorus being but Dametas' servant so abuse his mad master thus grossly. O Lord Sir, there have been serving men have done their Masters far greater abuse, yet had their wives concealed it, their ears should never have been acquainted with it. Is that a fashion in request? Altogether i'll assure you, but obedience, Gentlemen the Scene begins. Pray God it be good he stays so long, Ridiculous enough, and good enough. So, stand Ass, stand gentle Ass. What Countryman is his Ass, he speaks so familiarly to him? A'th' City breed, marry he picks up his living ath burrs and nettles that grow about the Court gate. Be in readiness good mattock, play thy part sweet spade, let me see; Diana's oak? I held Diana's oak divine, true pure gold, honest Dorus, fortunate Dametas. An excellent comedian, what life he puts into his part. So, by thy leave stone, by thy patience honest stone, the very gravel savours of treasure, this same's the bedchamber of my Lady Pecunia, and see, see some of her golden hairs, more, more, more yet divine tree, pure gold, honest Dorus, fortunate Demetrius, softly, softly, not too fast, let me not devour my content too greedily, lest like a cormorant I take a surfeit on't. Oh take heed of that master in any case. Pure mettle, excellent gold: but let me see now, I shall by computation have some three millions of 'em, ● some three or four millions, how shall I employ them to make the most profit of them That would be known indeed.
