Souse not. This word will not down with me. Mr. jingles queasy stomach cannot digest sauce. The Lady will think, I use to converse with Tripe-wives, if I talk to her of sauce. Mr you once courted a sousing Dame, (a fulsome Kitchen-wench.) Peace thou squeaking pig; or else the bandogs of these hands shall lug thy lagging ears. Souse not thy globy eyen. I tell thee this is not such as it is vulgarly taken. It is not a butcherly word, it is not descended from the Tripe wife, nor hath it affinity with the frying-pan. Nor did it ever hang cheek by jowl with a black pudding. Mark the Philosophy of the phrase. The roaring dashing element, the sea is salt, and brine is salt, and trickling tears are salted. And P. I. S. is salt. The sea, the brine, the tears, the tears, the brine, the sea. Why may they not all three thus dashing, soaking, sousing lie? It is a martial word. I use it often myself, I tell thee. I too often when you tell me you'll give me a sauce on the ear. Souse not, &c. Fit. wondrous fit, as my presumed glove for my sweet-hand. It she wept for sorrow before, I shall now make her weep for joy to hear this eloquence. But my Masters, you leave the poor Monkey too long in distress. he'll die o'th' mumps, unless we relieve him the sooner. 'Tis true. Pray go on. I am to say your Monkey will recover. Master Prompter do your part. Then thus. Your sour legged, two-legged, Man-imitating, two-handed, long-tailed play fellow, shall be readvanced to his pristine integrity of limbs. He had needs put in sound of wind and limb, for the Mumps lay siege to his throat, and breed more danger to his weasand, then to his ten bones. Two-foot, four-foot? how can that be? Hath he six feet? six feet? six to one my Master puts the trick of the louse upon him. I have known when he has blown them in a quill upon better men this this. Thou art not worthy to be numbered among the two-footed, but rather art to be embased unto the fourfooted. If thou dost not understand how Apes and Monkeys are two-legged and two-handed; sometime they creep on all four. Imp. show him how, sometime they stalk on tiptoe. Thus. If I had been an Ape I should have climbed plum-trees bravely. Let me see how you can imitate this. Sometime they trace on all four thus. Sometime they ride upon a mastiff dog thus. I want nothing now but my whip to keep this Lollard hound in awe. Come off Imp. Enough of this. We will send him hereafter for instruction to Paris Garden, where he shall learn not only Ape tricks, but the whipping of blind Bears.

Souse not. This word will not downe with me. Mr. Gingles queasie slomacke cannot disgest souse. The Lady will thinke, I vse to conuerse with Tripewiues, if I talke to her of souse. Mr you once courted a sousing Dame, (a fulsome Kitchinwench.) Peace thou squeaking pigge; or else the bandogs of these hands shall lugge thy lagging eares. Souse not thy globyeyne. I tell thee this is not such as it is vulgarly taken. It is not a butcherly word, it is not descended from the Tripe wife, nor hath it affinity with the fryingpan. Nor did it euer hang cheeke by iole with a blacke pudding. Marke the Philosophy of the phrase. The roaring dashing element, the sea is salt, and brine is salt, and trickling teares are slt. And P. I. S. is salt. The sea, the bryne, the teares, the teares, the bryne, the sea. Why may they not all three thus dashing, soaking, soucing lye? It is a martiall word. I vse it often my selfe, I tell thee. I too often when you tell me you'le giue me a souse on the eare. Souse not, &c. Fit. wondrous fit, as my persumed gloue for my sweethand. It shee wept for sorrow before, I shall now make her weepe for ioy to heare this eloquence. But my Masters, you leaue the poore Monkey too long in distresse. Heelle dye o'th Mumpes, vnlesse we relieue him the sooner. 'Tis true. Pray goe on. I am to say your Monkey will recouer. Master Prompter doe your part. Then thus. Your soure leg'd, two-leg'd, Manimitating, two-handed, long-tayled play fellow, shall be readuanced to his pristine integrity of limbs. He had need put in sound of winde and limb, for the Mumps lay siege to his throate, and breed more danger to his weazand, then to his tenne bones. Two-foot, foure-foot? how can that be? Hath hee sixe feet? Sixe feet? sixe to one my Master puts the tricke of the louse vpon him. I haue knowne when hee has blowne them in a quill vpon better men this this. Thou art not worthy to be numbred among the two-footed, but rather art to bee imbased vnto the foure-footed. If thou dost not vnderstand how Apes and Monkeyes are two-leg'd and two-handed; sometime they creepe on all foure. Imp. shew him how, sometime they stalke on tiptoe. Thus. If I had bin an Ape I should haue climed plumtrees brauely. Let me see how you can imitate this. Sometime they trace on all foure thus. Sometime they ride vpon a mastiffe dogge thus. I want nothing now but my whippe to keepe this Lollard hound in awe. Come off Imp. Enough of this. We will send him hereafter for instruction to Paris Garden, where hee shall learne not onely Apetrickes, but the whipping o blinde Beares.
