I, and be honest too sometimes: have her wires, and her tires, her green gowns, and velvet petticoats. I, and ride to Ware and Rumford i'dy Coash, shed Players, be in love vit 'em; sup vit gallantsh, be drunk, and cost de noting. Brave vapours! And lie by twenty on'em, if dou pleash sweet heart. What, and be honest still, that were fine sport. Tish common, sweet heart, tou may'st do it by my hand: it shall be justified to tie husbands faish, now: tou shalt be as honesht as the skin between his hornsh, lafoy! Yes, and wear a dressing, top, and top-gallant, to compare with ere a husband on 'em all, for a foretop: it is the vapour of spirit in the wife, to cuckolded, now adays; as it is the vapour of fashion, in the husband, not to suspect. Your prying cat-eyed-citizen, is an abominable vapour. Lord, what a fool have I been! Mend than, and do ting a Lady, hereafter, never know ty husband, from another man. Nor any one man from another, but i'the dark. I, and than it is no dishgrash to know any man. Help, help here. How now? what vapour's there? O, you are a sweet Ranger! and look well to your walks. Yonder is your Punk of Turnbull, Ramping Alice, has fall'n upon the poor Gentlewoman within, and pulled her hood over her ears, and her hair through it. Help, help, i'the King's name. A mischief on you, they are such as you are, that undo us, and take our trade from us, with your tuft-taffata haunches. How now Alice! The poor common whores can ha' no traffic, for the privy rich ones; your caps and hoods of velvet, call away our customers, and lick the fat from us. Peace you foul ramping jade, you— Od's foot, you Bawd in grease, are you talking? Why, Alice, I say. Thou Sow of Smithfield, thou. Thou tripe of Turnbull. Catamountain-vapours! ha'! You know where you were tawed lately, both lashed, and slashed you were in Bridewell. I, by the same token, you rid that week, and broke out the bottom o'the Cart, Night-tub. Why, Lion face! ha'! do you know who I am? shall I tear ruff, slit waistcoat, make rags of petticoat? ha'! go to, vanish, for fear of vapours. Whit, a kick, Whit, in the parting vapour. Come brave woman, take a good heart, thou shalt be a Lady, too. Yes fait, they shall all both be Ladies, and writ Madam. I vill do't myself for dem. Do, is the vord, and D is the middle letter of Madam, D D, put 'em together, and make deeds, without which, all words are alike, la. 'Tis true, Ursula, take 'em in, open thy wardrobe, and fit 'em to their calling. Green-gowns, Crimson-petticoats, green women! my Lord Mayor's green women! guests o'the Game, true bred. I'll provide you a Coach, to take the air, in.
