Oh y'are a sweet brother. And now thouart my sweet Sister, I know the old man's gone to meet with an old wench that will meet with him, or Iarvis has no juice in's brains, and while I i'th' mean time, set another wheel a going at the Widows, do thou soon about ten, for 'tis to be very conveniently dark, meet this Gentleman at the nag's head corner, just against Leaden-hill, we lie in Lime-street, thither he shall carry thee, Accommodate thee daintily, all night with Mistress Dorothy, and marry thee i'th' morning very Methodically. But I have the charge of my Father's keys, where all his writings lie. How all things jump in a just equivalency, to keep thee from the thing of threescore and ten, didst thou not see my Mortgage lately there? Stay, stay. A white devil with a red fox tail, in a black box. But yesterday my father showed it me; & swears if I pleased him well, it should serve to jump out my portion. Prove thine old Dad a Prophet, bring it with thee Wench. But now at's parting, he charged me to have a care to that, as to my Maidenhead. Why, fine have thy Maidenhead and that into the bargain, thy charge is performed, away, get thee in, forget not the hour, and you had better fight under Ancient Young's colours, than the old Man's standard of sixty and ten. Remember this, madbrain. Ha, ha, ha, Grandmother, I'll tell thee the best jest. Prithee chick. jest quotha, here will be jesting of all sides I think, if Iarvis keep his word. Sirrah, whilst thou wert sent for into the next room, up came our second course, amongst others in a dish of blackbirds, there lay one, that I swore was a Woodcock, you were at Table Captain. That I was, and our brave mad crew, which for my sake you were pleased to make welcome. Pish, we'll have as many more tomorrow night, but still I swore 'twas a Woodcock: she swore 'twas a backbird, now who shall we be tried by, but Sergeant Sliceman, Captain Carveguts' cousin here, a trifling wager, a matter of the reckoning was laid, the Sergeant swore 'ttwas a backbird, I presently paid the reckoning, and she clapped of the breast presently, and swore 'twas a Woodcock, as if any other wood pass after the reckoning was paid. This was a pretty one I protest. Made sure before such a mad crew of witnesses, sirrah, Granham, all's agreed, Sue's—. ay you may see, how you men can betray poor maids. Do you hear Corporal, yonder's Sergeant Sliceman, and the brave crew that supped with us have called for three or four gallons of wine, and are offering money. How, prithee Granham look to Dab, do you two but hold them in a talk, whilst I steal down and pay the reckoning. Do't daintily, they'll stay all night.
