Which done, als but this, being as you shall be brought into her company, and by my praising your virtues you get possession of her Love, one morning step to the tower, or to make all sure, hire some stipendiary priest for money: for Money in these days, what will not be done, and what will not a man do for a rich wife, and with him make no more ado but marry hit in her lodging and being married, he with her and spare not. Do they not see us, do they not see us, let me kiss thee, let me kiss thee Butler, let but this be done, and all the benefit requital and happiness. I can promise thee for't, shall be this, I'll be thy rich master, and thou shalt carry my purse. Enough, meet me at her lodging some half an hour hence: hark she lies. I hate. Fail not. Will I live. I will but shift of these two Rhinoceros, Wigens, wingens, a couple of gulls. With some discourse of hope to wive them two, and be with you straight. Blessed day, my love shall be thy cushion honest Butler. So now to my other Gallants. O Butler, we ha' been in passion at thy tediousness, Why look you. I had all this talk for your good. Hadst. For you know the knight is but a scurvy-proud-prating-Prodigal, licentious unnecessary. An Ass, an Ass, an Ass. Now you heard me tell him I had three Wenches in store, And he would ha' had them all would he. Hear me, though he may live to be an Ox, he had not now so much of the Goat in him, but only hopes for one of the three when indeed I ha' but two, and knowing you to be men of more virtue, and dearer in my respect intend them to be yours. We shall honour thee. But how Butler. I am now going to their place of residence, situate in the choicest place in the City, and at the sign of the Wolf just against Goldsmiths-row where you shall meet me, but ask not for me, only walk to and fro and to avoid suspicion you may spend some conference with the Shopkeepers wives, they have seats built a purpose for such familiar entertainment, where from a bay window which is opposite, I will make you known to your desired beauties, commend the good parts you have. byth' mass mine are very few. And win a kind of desire, as women are soon won to make you be beloved where you shall first kiss, than Woe, at length Wed, and at last bed my Noble hearts. O Butler. Wenches bona robes, blessed beauties, without colour or counterfeit: Away, put on you best Clothes, get you to the Barbers, Curl up your hair, walk with the best struts you can, you shall see more at the Window, and I ha' vowed to make you. Wilt thou. Both Fools, and I'll want of my wit but I'll do't.
