Nay, he has a thousand things as good, that will speak him all day. He will rail on his wife, with certain common places, behind her back; and to her face— No more of him. Let's go see him, I petition you. NAy, good Princess, hear me pauca verba. By that light, I'll ha'you chained up, with your bul-dogs, and bear-dogs, if you be not civil the sooner. I'll send you to kennel, i'faith. You were best bait me with your bull, bear, and horse? Never a time, that the courtiers, or collegiates come to the house, but you make it a shrove-tuesday! I would have you get your whitsuntide-velvet-cap, and your staff i'your hand, to entertain 'em: yes introth, do. Not so, Princess, neither, but under correction, sweet Princess, gi'me leave— these things I am known to the courtiers by. It is reported to them for my humour, and they receive it so, and do expect it. TOM OTTERS bull, bear, and horse is known all over England, in rerum natura. Fore me, I will nature 'em over to Paris-garden, and nature you thither too, if you pronounce 'em again. Is a bear a fit beast, or a bull, to mix in society with great ladies? think i' your discretion, in any good polity. The horse then, good Princess. Well, I am contented for the horse: they love to be well horsed, I know. I love it myself. And it is a delicate fine horse this. Poetarum Pegasus. Under correction, Princess, JUPITER did turn himself into a— Taurus, or Bull, under correction, good Princess. By my integrity, I'll send you over to the banke-side, I'll commit you to the Master of the garden, if I hear but a syllable more. Must my house, or my roof, be polluted with the sent of bears, and bulls, when it is perfumed for great ladies? Is this according to the instrument, when I married you? That I would be Princess, and reign in mine own house: and you would be my subject, and obey me? What did you bring me, should make you thus peremptory? Do I allow you your half-crown a day, to spend, where you will, among your gamesters, to vex and torment me, at such times as these? Who gives you your maintenance, I pray you? who allows you your horse-meat, and mans-meat? your three suits of apparel a year? your four pair of stockings, one silk, three worsted? your clean linen, your bands, and cuffs when I can get you to wear 'em? 'Tis marvel you ha''em on now. Who graces you with courtiers, or great personages, to speak to you out of their coaches, and come home to your house? Were you ever so much as looked upon by a lord, or a lady, before I married you: but on the Easter or Whitson-holy-days? and then out at the banqueting-house window, when NED WHITING, or GEORGE STONE, were at the stake?
