The jewels which I gave you: wear: your fortunes, I'll raise on golden Pillars: fare you well, Lust in old age like burnt straw, does even choke The kindlers, and consumes, in stinking Smoke. You may follow your Lord by the smoke, Badgers. If fortune had favoured him, we might have followed you by the horns. Fortune favours fools, your Lords a wise Lord: So: how now? ha? This is that makes me fat now, is't not Ratsbane to you Gentlemen, as pap was to Nestor, but I know the invisible sins of your wives hang at your eyelids, and that makes you so heavy headed. If I do take 'em napping I know what I'll do. I'll nap some of them. That villain Monopoly, and that sir Gozlin treads 'em all. Would I might come to that treading. Ha ha, sound I: come Moll: the book of the siege of Ostend, writ by one that dropped in the action, will never sell so well, as a report of the siege between this grave, this wicked elder and thy self, an impression of you two, would away in a May-morning: was it ever heard that such tirings, were brought away from a Lord by any wench but thee Moll, without paying, unless the wench coney-catched him? go thy thy ways: if all the great Turks concubines were but like thee, the ten-penny-infidel should never need keep so many geldings to neigh ouerem: come shall this Western voyage hold my hearts? Yes, yes. Yes, yes: 'sfoot you speak as if you had no hearts, & look as if you were going westward indeed: to see how plain dealing women can pull down men: Moll you'll help us to catch Smelts too? If you be pleased. Never better since I wore a Smock. I fear our oars have given us the bag. Good, I'd laughed at that. If they have, would where's might give them the Bottle: come march whilst the women double their files: Married men fee, there's comfort: the Moons up: fore Don Phoebus, I doubt we shall have a Frost this night, her horns are so sharp: do you not feel it bite. I do, I'm sure. But we'll sit upon one another's skirts Boat, and lie close in straw, like the hoary Courtier. Set on to Brainford now: where if you meet frail wives, near swear 'gainst horns, in vain dame Nature strives. Why chamberlain? will not these Fiddlers be drawn forth? are they not in tune yet? Or are the Rogues afraid ath Statute, and dare not travel so far without a passport? What chamberlain? Where's mine host? what chamberlain. Anon sir, here sir, at hand sir. Where's this noise? what a lousy Towns this? Has Brainford no music in't. They are but rozining sir, and they'll scrape themselves into your company presently. Plague a their cat's guts, and their scraping: dost not see women here, and can wethinkst thou be without a noise then?
