Great Tarquin's pride, and Tullia's cruelty. Dangerous, no. The tyrannies of the Court, & the vassalage of the City. Neither shall I give the subject. Do, & let it be of all the pretty wenches in the Suburbs of Rome. It shall, it shall, shall it Valerius? Any thing, according to my poor acquaintance, & little conversance. Nay you shall stay Horatius, Lucretius so shall you, he removes himself from the love of Brutus, that shrinks from my side till we have had a song of all the pretty suburbians: sit round, when Valerius? Valer. Shall I woe the lovely Molly, she's so fair, so fat, so jolly, But she has a trick of folly, Therefore I'll ha' none of Molly. No no no, no no no. I'll have none of Molly no no no. Oh the cherry lips of Nelly, They are red and soft as jelly, But too well she loves her belly, therefore i'll have none of Nelly. No no etc. What say you to bonny Betty, Ha' you seen a lass to pretty? But her body is so sweaty, Therefore I'll ha' none of Bety. No no no, etc. When I dolly with my Dolly, She is full of melancholy. Oh that wench is pestilent holy, Therefore i'll have none of Dolly. No no no, etc. I could fancy lovely Nanny, But she has the loves of many, Yet herself she loves not any, Therefore i'll have none of Nanny, No no no, etc. In a flax-shop I spied Rachel, Where she her flax and tow did hatchel, But her cheeks hang like a satchel. Therefore i'll ha' none of Rachel. No no no, etc. In a corner I met Biddy, Her heels were light her head was giddy, She fell down and somewhat did I, Therefore i'll have none of Biddy. No no no, etc. The rest we'll hear within: what offence is there in this Lucretius, what hurt's in this Horatius? Is it not better to sing with our heads on then weep with our heads off, I near took Collatine for a politician till now. Come Valerius, we'll run over all the wenches of Rome, even from the community of lascivious Flora to the chastity of divine Lucrece, come good Horat A Chair. A chair for my Lady, Mrs. Mirable do you not hear my Mistress call. Come near sir, be less officious. In duty, and use more attention, Nay gentlewoman we exempt not you From our discourse, but you must afford an ear As well as he, to what we ha' to say. I still remain your handmaid. Sirrah I ha' seen you oft familiar With this my Maid and waiting gentlewoman. As casting amorous glances, wanton looks, And pretty becks, savouring incontinence. I let you know you are not for my service Unless you grow more civil.
