I will pray there Against thy House: May Dogs defile thy walls, And Wasps and Hornets breed beneath thy roof, This seat of falsehood, and this cave of cozenage. Another too? Not I Sir, I am no Brother. Away you Harry Nicholas, do you talk? No this was Abel Drugger. Good Sir, go. And satisfy him; tell him, all is done: He stayed too long a washing of his face. The Doctor, he shall hear of him at Westchester: And of the Captain, tell him at Yarmouth, or Some good Port-town else, lying for a wind. If you can get off the Angry Child now, Sir— Come on, you Yew, you have matched most sweetly, ha' you not? Did not I say, I would never ha' you tupped But by a dubbed Boy, to make you a Lady-Tom? 'Slight, you are a Mammet! O, I could touse you, now. Death, mun' you marry with a pox? You lie, Boy; As sound as you: and I am afore-handwith you. Anon? Come, will you quarrel? I will feeze you, sirrah. Why do you not buckle to your tools? God's light! This is a fine Old Boy, as ere I saw! What do you change your copy now? Proceed, Here stands my Dove: stoop at her, if you dare. 'Slight I must love him: I cannot choose i'faith, And I should be hanged for't. Sister, I protest I honour thee, for this match. O do you so, Sir. Yes, and thou canst take Tobacco, and drink, Old Boy, I'll give her five hundred pound more, to her Marriage, Then her own State. Fill a pipeful, Ieremie. Yes, but go in, and take it, Sir. We will. I will be ruled by thee in any thing, Ieremy. 'Slight, thou art not Hidebound, thou art a jovy Boy! Come let's in pray thee, and take our Wyffes. Whiff in with your Sister, brother Boy. That Master That had received such happiness by a Servant, In such a Widow, and with so much wealth, Were very ungrateful, if he would not be A little indulgent to that servants wit, And help his fortune, though with some small strain Of his own candour. Therefore Gentlemen, And kind Spectators, if I have out stripped An old man's gravity, or strict canon, think What a young Wife, and a good Brain may do: Stretch Ages truth sometimes, and crack it too. Speak for thyself, Knave. So I will Sir. Gentlemen, My Part a little fell in this last Scene, Yet 'twas decorum. And though I am clean Got off, from Subtle, Surly, Mammon, Dol, Hot Ananias, Dapper, Drugger, all With whom I traded; yet I put myself On you, that are my Country: And this Pelf, Which I have got, if you do quit me, rests To feast you often, and invite new guests.
