Summer— no Winter. i, Winter, Winter, Winter: But you said Summer first, I won't play. Au, but I said Winter afterward though. Begin then. One— So, so, you touched the other stone, now I must play. You lie, I did not touch it. You lie, you did touch it, and you shall have no pins here. shan't I so? but I will though; do you scratch hussy? I that I will scratch, and bite too. Give me my gloves, and bracelets again. You may go look 'em, I won't, as long as you gave Them me. Give a thing, and take a thing That's the Devils gold-ring. Well if I don't tell my Father of this, you puss you. You monkey. You Bastard. Do you abuse one's friends you jade you? And you call me jade you are a Whore. Do you call Whore? I that I will call Whore, well, well, the next time That you eat any Cheesecakes at our house You shall have better luck shall you. Your Cheesecakes? we have as good of our own. Au, hau, you shall ne'er make no dirt pies With me in our barn hussy. Who cares? than you shall gather no more Violets, nor Primroses in our Close. Your Close? I'll gather there in spite of your teeth. It is my Father's Close, so it is, so it is. Your Father does but hire it— Oh here he comes Here he comes, here comes my Father, Now you shall see. Au but I'll run home. Come on, I am not of that rank of Patrons Which set to sale the livings of the Church. (Oh are you here my daughter? wipe your nose;) I take no bonds in secret, sell no horse For his price centuple, nor do I send The eager suitors up unto my Lady, That she might judge which is the better gifted. (Sir if your father will be bound to pay The first years revenues, you are the man shall speed, A reservation of mine own tithes too Must be concluded on before you have it) But as a true lover of virtue, do Choose rather to confer a double good Then the least damage on the man I deal with. Behold my young and tender daughter here; I do confess she's not the rarest piece That ever nature drew, nor is it fit That such as you, who either are, or should be Wedded unto your Books, should have a loud And clamorous beauty to disturb your studies. You need not fear the thought of her perfection. Will call you from a piece of Greek to read Miracles in her face. Hold up your head, And tell me now which of this goodly troop You have most mind to, for on him will I Bestow old Lively's Parsonage, and thee In Marriage.
