No your a hoarder, you engross byth' ounces. Puh I like it not. What feather is't you'd have sir. These are most worn and most in fashion, Amongst the Beaver gallants the stone Riders. The private stage's audience, the twelve penny stool Gentlemen, I can inform you 'tis the general feather. And therefore I mislike it, tell me of general. Now a continual Simon and Iudes rain Beat all your feathers as flat down as pancakes. Show me—— a— spangled feather, Oh to go a feasting with, You'd have it for a hench boy, you shall. Mass I had quite forgot, His honour's footman was here last night wife, ha' you done with my Lord's shirt. What's that to you sir, I was this morning at his honour's lodging, Ere such a snake as you crept out of your shell. Oh 'twas well done good wife. I hold it better sir, then if you had done't yourself. Nay so say I: but is the countess's smock almost done mouse. Here lies the cambric sir, but wants I fear me. I'll resolve you of that presently, Haida, oh audacious groom, Dare you presume to noble women's linen, Keep you your yard to measure shepherds holland, I must confine you I see that. What say you to this gear. I dare the arrant'st critic in Tobacco To lay one fault upon't. Life yonder's Moll. Moll which Moll. honest Moll. Prithee let's call her— Moll. Moll, Moll, pist Moll. How now, what's the matter. A pipe of good tobacco Moll. I cannot stay. Nay Moll puh, prithee hark, but one word i'faith. Well what is't. Prithee come hither sirrah. Heart I would give but too much money to be nibbling with that wench, life, sh'as the Spirit of four great parishes, and a voice that will drown all the City, methinks a brave Captain might get all his soldiers upon her, and near be beholding to a company of mile-end milk sops, if he could come on, and come off quick enough: Such a Moll were a marrowbone before an Italian, he would cry bona roba till his ribs were nothing but bone. I'll lay hard siege to her, money is that Aqua fortis, that eats into many a maidenhead, where the walls are flesh & blood I'll ever pierce through with a golden auger. Now thy judgement Moll, is't not good? Yes faith 'tis very good tobacco, how do you sell an an ounce, farewell. God b'y you Mistress Gallipot, Why Moll, Mol. I cannot stay now i'faith, I am going to buy a shag cuff, the shop will be shut in presently. 'tis the maddest fantasticalst girl:— I never knew so much flesh and so much nimbleness put together. she slips from one company to another, like a fat Eel between a Dutchman's fingers:— I'll watch my time for her.
