I am come to speak with you. 'Tis pain for me to speak, a very death, But I will hear you! Sir, you have a Lady, That sojourns with you. Ha'? I am somewhat short In my sense too— Pecunia. O' that side, Very imperfect, on— Whom I would draw Oftener to a poor Office, I am Master of— My hearing is very dead, you must speak quicker. Or, if it please you, Sir, to let her sojourn In part with me; I have a moiety We will divide, halfe of the profits. Ha'? I hear you better now, how come they in? Is it a certain business, or a casual? For I am loath to seek out doubtful courses, Run any hazardous paths, I love straight ways, A just, and upright man! now all trade totters. The trade of money, is fallen, two i'the hundred. That was a certain trade, while th' age was thrifty, And men good husbands, looked unto their stocks, Had their minds bounded; now the public Riot Prostitutes all, scatters away in coaches, In footman's coats, and waiting women's gowns, They must have velvet haunches (with a pox) Now taken up, and yet not pay the use; Bate of the use? I am mad with this times manners. You said even now, it was death for you to speak. I, but an anger, a just anger, (as this is) Puts life in man. Who can endure to see The fury of men's gullets, and their groins? What fires, what cooks, what kitckins might be spared? What Stews, Ponds, Parks, Coupes, Garners, Magazines? What velvets, tissues, scarves, embroideries? And lace's they might lack? They covet things— Superfluous still; when it were much more honour They could want necessary! What need hath Nature Of silver dishes? or gold chamberpots? Of perfumed napkins? or a numerous family, To see her eat? Poor, and wise she, requires Meat only; Hunger is not ambitious: Say, that you were the Emperor of pleasures, The great Dictator of fashions, for all Europe, And had the pomp of all the Courts, and Kingdoms, Laid forth unto the show? to make yourself Gazed, and admired at? You must go to bed, And take your natural rest: than, all this vanisheth. Your bravery was but shown; 'twas not possessed: While it did boast itself, it was than perishing. This man has healthful lungs. All that excess Appeared as little yours, as the Spectators. It scarce fills up the expectation Of a few hours, that entertains men's lives. He has the monopoly of sole-speaking. Why, good Sir? you talk all. Why should I not? Is it not under mine own roof? my feeling? But I came heat to talk with you. Why, an'I will not Talk with you, Sir? you are answered, who sent for you? No body sent for me—
