Why you young witch, call your elder brother fool; but go thy ways, and keep thy maidenhead till it grow more deservedly despised, then are the old base boots of a half stewed Pander: Lead a Welsh Morris with the Apes in hell amongst the little devils,— or when thou shalt lie sighing, by the side of some rich fool,— remember thou thing of thread and needles, not worth three pence half penny. Too late I fear I ha' been too coy, you are to be married then sir? I am indeed sweet Mistress, to a Maid Of excellent parentage, breeding, and beauty. I ha'thought of such Musicians for thee. But let it not be any way distasteful unto you, that thus I tried you, for your brother persuaded me to pretend love to you, that he might perceive how your mind stood to marriage, in that (as I guess) he has a husband kept in store for you. ay, I have provided a husband for thee Moll. But I'll have no husband of your providing, for alas now shall have the old man whether I will or no. I have such a stripling for thee, he wants one eye, and is crooked legged, but that was broke at football. Alas, we cannot mould men you know. he's rich, he's rich Moll. ha''him and his riches good sir, y'are to be married in earnest. In earnest; why, do ye think men marry as Fencers sometimes fight, in jest? Shall I show her Mistress Elizabeth's Letter I snatched from thee? Not, and thou lovest me. Good brother let me see't, sweet brother, dainty brother, honey brother. No indeed, you shall not see't, sweet sister, dainty sister, honey sister. Oh good sir, since so long time I have loved you, let me not die for your sake. The tide turns. Long time loved me? Long ere you went to Sea I did. I have loved you very long with all my heart. Think of Bess; think of Bess, 'tis the better match. Ye wicked brother, Indeed I love you better, than all the Besses in the world, and if tonight I shift not into better fortunes, tomorrow I am made the miserablest wife marriage and misery can produce. Is't possible? Alas Sir, I am to marry an old man, a very old man, trust me, I was strange in the nice timorous temper of a Maid, I know against our sex to say we love, but rather than to match with sixty and ten, threescore and ten times I wooed tell you so, and tell them ten times over too, truth loves not virtue with more of virtuous truth, than I do you, and wonot you love me then? And lie with thee too by this hand Wench, come let us have fair weather, thou art mine, I am thine, there's an end of the business, this was but a trick, there's the projector.
