An excellent harvest, this, you shall hear the poor mousetrapped-guilty-gentlemen call for mercy; your wives you shall see kneeling at your feet, and weeping, and wringing, and blushing, and cursing Brainford and crying pardona may pardona may, pardona may, whilst you have the choice to stand either as judges to condemn 'em, beadles to torment 'em, or confessors to absolved 'em: And what a glory will it be for you 3. to kiss your wives like forgetful husbands, to exhort and forgive the young men like pitiful fathers; then to call for oars, than to cry hay for London, than to make a Supper, than to drown all in Sack and Sugar, than to go to bed, and then to rise and open shop, where you may ask any man what he lacks with your cap off, and none shall perceive whether the brims wring you. we'll raise no towns. No, no, let's knock first. I that's best I'll summon a parley.— whose's there? have you stockfish in hand that you beat so hard: who are you? that's my wife; let Justiniano speak for all they know our Tongues. What a murrain ail these colts, to keep such a kicking? Monopoly. Yes. Is M. Lynstock up too, and the Captain. Both are in the field: will you open your door? O you are proper Gamesters to bring false dice with you fro London to cheat yourselves. Is't possible that 3 shallow women should gull. 3. such Gallants. What means this. Have we defied you upon the walls all night to open our gates to you i'th' morning. Our honest husbands they (silly men) lie praying in their beds now, that the water under us may not be rough, the tilt that covers us may not be rent, & the straw about our feet may keep our pretty legs warm. I warrant they walk upon Queen-hive (as Leander did for Hero) to watch for our landing, and should we wrong such kind hearts? would we might ever be troubled with the toothache thee. This thing that makes fools of us thus, is my wife. ay, I knock your bellies full, we hug one another a-bed and lie laughing till we tickle again to remember how we sent you a Bat-fowling. An Almond Parrot: that's my Mab's voice, I know by the sound. 'sfoot you ha' spoiled half already, & you'll spoil all, if you dam not up your mouths villainy! nothing but villainy, I'm afraid they have smelled your breaths at the key hole, & now they set you to catch Flounders, whilst in the mean time, the concupiscentious Malefactors make 'em ready & take London napping. I'll not be gulled so Show yourselves to be men, and break open doors. Break open doors, & show yourselves to be beasts: if you break open doors, your wives may lay flat burglary to your charge. Lay a pudding; burglary. Will you then turn Coridon's because you are among clowns? shall it be said you have no brains being in Brainford.
