Tut that's a French cog; sure I think, There's near a Wench in France not half so fond, To woe and sue so for your Mounsership. Par may foy Madame, she does tincke dare is no Wench so dure as you: for de Fillee was cree dulce, tender, and amorous for me to love her; now me tincke dat I being such a fine man, you should lova me. So think not I, sir. But so tincke esh oder Damosellas. Nay I'll lay my love to your command, That my Sisters think not so: How say you sister Mall? Why how now Gentlemen, is this your talk? What beaten in plain field: where be your Maids? Nay then I see their loving humour fades, And they resign their interest up to me; And yet I cannot serve for all you three: But least two should be mad, that I love one, You shall be all alike, and I'll love none: The world is scant, when so many Jack Daws, Hover about one corpse with greedy paws: If needs you'll have me stay till I am dead, Carrion for Crows, Mathea for her Ned: And so farewell, we Sisters do agree, To have our wills, but near to have you three. Madama attendez, Madama: is she all? do she mockque de nows in such sort? Oh de pestilence, Noah if datick can neite dese Englese spreake vel, it shall her Fader seg how dit is to pass gecomen. Ne parlate, see here signors de Fader. Now Friends, now Gentlemen, how speeds your work; have you not found them shrewd unhappy girls? Mester Pisaro, de Dochter mistress Laurentia call me de Dyel, den Ass, for that ic can neit English spreken. And dat we sal no parlour, dat we sal no havar den for de wive. Are they so lusty? Dare they be so proud? Well, I shall find a time to meet with them: In the mean season, pray frequent my house. Ho now sirrah, whither are you running? About a little tiny business. What business, Ass? Indeed I was not sent to you: and yet I was sent after the three Gen-men that dined here, to bid them come to our house at ten o'clock at night, when you were a-bed. Ha, what is this? Can this be true? What, art thou sure the Wenches bade them come? So they said, unless their minds be changed since: for a Woman is like a Weathercock they say, & I am sure of no more than I am certain of: but I'll go in and bid them send you word, whether they shall come or no. No sirrah, stay you here; but one word more: Did they appoint than come one by one, or else all together? Altogether: Lord that such a young man as you should have no more wit: why if they should come together, one could not make room for them; but coming one by one, they'll stand there if there were twenty of them.

Tut that's a French cogge; ſure I thinke, There's nere a Wench in Fraunce not halfe ſo fond, To woe and ſue ſo for your Mounſerſhip. Par may foy Madame, ſhe does tincke dare is no Wenche ſo dure as you: for de Fillee was cree dulce, tendre, and amarous for me to loue hir; now me tincke dat I being ſuch a fine man, you ſhould loua me. So thinke not I, ſir. But ſo tincke eſh oder Damoſellas. Nay Ile lay my loue to your commaunde, That my Siſters thinke not ſo: How ſay you ſiſter Mall? Why how now Gentlemen, is this your talke? What beaten in plaine field: where be your Maydes? Nay then I ſee their louing humor fades, And they reſigne their intreſt vp to mee; And yet I cannot ſerue for all you three: But leaſt two ſhould be madd, that I loue one, You ſhall be all alike, and Ile loue none: The world is ſcant, when ſo many Iacke Dawes, Houer about one Coarſe with greedy pawes: Yf needes youle haue me ſtay till I am dead, Carrion for Crowes, Mathea for her Ned: And ſo farewell, wee Siſters doe agree, To haue our willes, but nere to haue you three. Madama attendez, Madama: is ſhe alle? doe ſhe mockque de nows in ſuch ſort? Oh de peſtilence, noe if datick can neite deſe Engleſe ſpreake vel, it ſhal hir Fader ſeg how dit is to paſſe gecomen. Ne parlate, ſee here ſignors de Fader. Now Friends, now Gentlemen, how ſpeedes your worke; haue you not found them ſhrewd vnhappy girls? Meſter Piſaro, de Dochter maiſtris Laurentia calle me de Dyel, den Aſſe, for that ic can neit engleſh ſpreken. Ande dat we ſal no parler, dat we ſal no hauar den for de wiue. Are they ſo luſty?
