This was the party you railed on: I keep no worse company than yourself father, you were wont to say venery is like usury that it may be allowed though it be not lawful. Wherefore come I hither. To make a device for cheese-trenchers. I'll tell you why I sent for you, for nothing but to show you that your gravity may be drawn in: white hairs may fall into the company of drabs as well as red beards into the society of knaves: would not this woman deceive a whole camp i'th' Low-countries, and make one Commander believe she only kept her cabin for him, and yet quarter twenty more in't. Pree the what dost thou think of me. I think thou art a most admirable, brave, beautiful Whore. Nay sir, I was told you would rail: but what do you think of my device sir, nay: but you are not to depart yet Master Poet: wilt sup with me? I'll cashier all my young barnacles, & we'll talk over a piece of mutton and a partridge, wisely. Sup with thee that art a common undertaker? thou that dost promise nothing but watchet eyes, bombast calves and false periwigs. prithee comb thy beard with a comb of black lead, it may be I shall affect thee. O thy unlucky star! I must take my leave of your worship I cannot fit your device at this instant: I must desire to borrow a nest of goblets of you: O villainy! I would some honest Butcher would beg all the queans and knaves i'th' City and carry them into some other Country they'd sell better than beeves and Calves: what a virtuous City would this be then! mary I think there would be a few people left in't, uds foot, gulled with Cheese-trenchers and yoked in entertainment with a tailor? good, good. How dost Doll? Scurvy, very scurvy. Where shall's sup wench? I'll sup in my bed: get you home to your lodging and come when I send for you, o filthy rogue that I am. How! how, mistress Dorothy? Saint Antony's fire light in your Spanish slops: uds life, ille make you know a difference, between my mirth and melancholy, you panderly rogue. We observe your Ladyship. The punks in her humer— pax. I'll humour you and you pox me: uds life have I lain with a Spaniard of late, that I have learned to mingle such water with my Malago, Other's some scurvy thing or other breeding; how many several loves of Players of Vaulters, of Lieutenants have I entertained besides a runner a the ropes, and now to let blood when the sign is at the heart? should I send him a letter with some jewel in't, he would requite it as lawyers do, that re-return a woodcock pie to their clients, when they send them a Basin and a Ewer, I will instantly go and make myself drunk, till I have lost my memory, live a scoffing Poet?
