O, O, am undone, cheated and gulled, undone, Villain I'll bind thee to thy good behaviour. I would you could sir, I would thank you for't: But fie M. Hook, a head of that silver die, A beard of such an honourable length, For to be gulled? and so egregiously? By a young man with ne'er a hair o''ns face? Come son, I do not like these courses, nor Do they become a Gentleman, I'll not have That contumely dwell on our family, That we should use such indirect proceedings For to re-edify our tottering fortunes. By all the Magic in the name of Father I do conjure thee; by this aged head, And these grey hairs, by thy dead Mother's Urn, By all her cares and fears, by what is dearest Unto thy soul, I charge thee, take his daughter. Without all question I am the first, the first That ever piety has made miserable. Well Master Hook, you see what may be done, What angry spirits a man may lay, while he Does stand secure within the circle of father. Your daughter I will have; only know this, There is another thing which belongs to her, Which I must have too, that's the Parsonage; 'Twas ever yet allotted for her portion, And I expect my right. How? woe is me, I am undone. Before I stretch forth a paw Towards her, i'll have it. Father, good father let him, He will go back from's word else. Well, he shall have it. Hold: by the virtue of this writing, it Is lawful for you (after old Liuelyes death) For to present the first Fie, fie, fie, fie. I had this drawn (alas) for another end. My law does tell me it will do. Come on, Since there's no remedy, let's even to't. Yes hangman, I forgive thee heartily, 'Tis but thy office. Come Terpander, we Will keep the wedding, at my house, but hear you? The cost and charges shall be yours. Agreed, Most willingly. Follow me son and daughter. Come husband Anteros, will you play at Checkstones With me? Follow, follow, follow, follow, I will be there immediately: nay go. So, I have made a fine days work of this:— Well, there's no remedy, it must be so. But I must take my leave in form: Farewell Ye chimney gods, protectors of our family; Stipes. A bott's upon you, that same tongue Of yours must needs be wagging. Indeed Father I did not speak a word, no that I did not. we must begin again now for your tattling, Did not the Gentleman command us silence? Stipes adieu, I am exceeding sorry I cannot stay to see you a Gentleman. Spruce M. Noddle, even adieu to you. Good M. Mongrel, kind Sir Hammershin. Sweet M. William, I am Melancholy To part with you as I am a living soul. Why whether in such haste?
