Sensibly, And fear, and will prevent it. Come buy you lusty Gallants These Simples which I sell; In all our days were never seen like these, For beauty, strength, and smell: Here's the King-cup, the pance, with the Violet, The Rose that loves the shower, The wholesome Gillyflower, Both the Cowslip, Lily, And the Daffodil; With a thousand in my power. Why where are all my Customers? none come buy Of the rare Iew that sells eternity? Indeed Master I'm of your mind; for none of your drugs but sends a man to life everlasting. Peace knave I say, here's in this little thing A jewel priceless, worthy of a King: If any man so bold dare be, Unseen, unknown to cope with me, And give the price which I demand; here's treasure worth a monarch's Land. Hark how the Mountebank sets out his ware. O, 'tis a noble Braggart; two dried frogs, An ounce of Ratsbane, grease and Staves-aker, Are all his ingredients. Peace for shame, Have Charity before you; hark, observe. Here's golden Amaranthus, That true Love can provoke; Of Horehound store, and poisoning Elebore, With the Polipode of the Oak: Here's chaste Vervine and lustful Eringo, Health-preserving Sage, And Rue, which cures old Age; With a world of others, Making fruitful Mothers: All these attend me as my Page. Come buy, come buy, unknown, unseen, The best that is, or ere hath been: He than, not asking what, dare cope, May buy a wealth past thought, past hope. Come buy, Come buy, &c. Master, faith give me leave to make my Proclamation too, though not in rhyme; yet in as unsensible meeter as may be. If the Devil any man provoke, To buy's own mischief in a poke; Or else, that hoodwinked he would climb up to the Gallows ere his time; If fools would learn how to convey Their friends the quite contrary way; Come to my Master, they shall have Their wish; for he's a crafty knave. Sirrah, you're saucy. Fitter for your dish of knavery. How now Achitophel; what's this curious drug You make such boast of; may not I question it? By no means Sir; he that will purchase this, Must pitch and pay; but ask no questions. Not any? No, not any; do you think Perfection needs Encomiums? O my Lord, you may take my master's word at all times; for, being a Physician, he's the only best member in a Commonwealth. How prove you Physicians the best members? Because Madam, without them the world would increase so fast, that one man could not live by another. Go to, you're a mad knave: but come Achitophel, How prize you this rich jewel? If't be fit Only for Kings; 'tis for Antipater. The price is, two thousand drachmas. Once I'll prove mad for my private pleasure, There's your price; give me the Jewel; Now it's bought & sold, you may disclose the full perfection.
