Nay he is the rustiest jade, the foulest mouthed knave in railing against our sex: he will rail against women. I am ashamed to speak't, I. Why when Emillia scornde his base unsteadiness the black throated rascal scolded, and said. Troth t'is too shameless. Why that at four women were fools, at fouret e drabbes, at forty bawds, at fourscore witches, and a hundred cats. A hight simile. Reasonable perfect bir-lady.

A pretty boy, faith how old art thou? Nay, and ye be in the teens: are ye a gentleman born? do you know me? my name is Medam Maquerelle, I lie in the old cunny court. See here the Ladies. Oh Ladies, the most abhomin ble mischance, Oh deer Ladies, the most piteous disaster, Ferneze was taken last night in the Duchess chamber: alas the Duke catched him and killed him. Oh no, but the villainous certainty is, the door was not bolted, the tongue tied hatch held his peace: so the naked troth is, he was found in his shirt, while I Like and errand beast, lay in the outward chamber, herd nothing, and yet they came by me in the dark, and yet I felt them not, Like a senseless creature as I was. Oh beauty's, look to your busk-points, if not chastely, yet cham rily: be sure the door be bolted: is your Lord gone to Florences? I hope yowl find the discretion to purchase a fresh gown for his return: Now by my troth beauty's I would would you once with e: he loves you, pish: he is witty; bubble: fair proportio ned, meaw: nobly born, wind: let this be still your fixed position, esteem me every man according to his good gifts, and so you shall ever remain most deer, and most worthy to be most deer Ladies. They say not yet. Faith boldly, strongly defies defame, as one that haz a Duke to her father. And theres a note to you: be sure of a stout friend in a corner, that may always awe your husband. Mark the haviour of the Dut hes now: she dares defame, cries Duke, do what thou canst, I'll quite mine honour: nay, as one confirmed in her own virtue against ten thousand mouths that mutter her disgrace, she's presently for dances. Most true. The more, the merrier: was well said; use your servants as you do your smocks, have many, use one, and change often, for thats most sweet and courtlike. I think he could hardly draw Ulysses bow, but by my fidelity, were his nose narrower, his eyes broader, his hands thin ner, his lips thicker, his legs bigger, his feet lesser, his hair blacker, and his teeth whiter, he were a tolerable sweet youth i'faith. And he will come to my chamber, I will read him the fortune of his beard. Trust me so have I, saving the falling back, and then honour. The Dave for golden locks: The Frenchman for the () Verily very well, for we women always note, the falling of the one, is the rising of the other: some must be fat, some must be lean, some must be fools, and some must be Lords, some must be knaves, and some must be officers: some must be beggars, some must be Knights: some must be cuckolds, and some must be citizens: as for example, I have two court dogs the most fawning curs, the one called Watch, th'other Catch: now I, Like lady For tune, sometime love this dog, sometime raise that dog, sometime favour Watch, most commonly fancic Catch: now that dog which I favour I feed, and he's so ra venous, that what I give he never chaws it, gulps it down whole, without any relish of what he haz, but with a greedy expectation of what he shall have: the other dog, now: Let me see, where's the sign now? would you ere a Can lender, where's the sign trow you. Sign! why is there any moment in that? Oh! believe me a most secret power, look ye a Chaldean or and Assyrian, I am sure was a most sweet levum told me, court any woman in the right sign, you shall not miss: but you must take her in the right vain then: as when the sign is in Pisces, a Fishmongers wife is very so ciable: in Cancer, a Precisians wife is very flexible: in Can pricorne, a Merchant's wife hardly holds out: in Libra, a Lawyers wife is very tractable, especially, if her husband be at the term: only in Scorpio t'is very dangerous meddling: haz the Duke sent any jewel, any rich stones? Will go hard, she was a cold creature ever, she hated monkeys, fools, jesters, & gentlemen-ushers extreme lie: she had the vild trick on't, not only to be truly modest lie honourable in her own continued science, but she would avoid the least wanton carriage that might-incur suspect, as God bless me, she had almost brought bed pressing out of fashion: I could scarce get a fine for the lease of a Ladies favour once in a fortnight. Let me see: heaven forgive us our misdeeds: Here's the Duchess. Nay, by mine honour Madam, as good would never a husband, as a banished husband, he's in and other world now. I'll tell ye Lady, I have herd of a sect that maintained, when the husband was a sleep, the wife might lawfully entertain another man: for then her husband was as dead, much more when he is banished. Pish, honesty is but and art to seem so: pray ye whats honesty? whats constancy? but fables feigned, odd old fools chat, devised by jealous fools, to wrong our liberty. Why, are ye ignorant that 'tis said, a squeamish affec ted nicences is natural to women, and that the excuse of their yielding, is only (forsooth) the difficult obtaining. You must put her too't: women are flax, and will fire in a moment. Marry, but I'll tell ye now, you were too hight. You were to boisterous, spleeny, for indeed. Now a my conscience, now I think in my discre cion, we did not take her in the right sign, the blood was not in the true vein, sure. And by my troth Beauty's, why do you not put you into the fashion, this is a stale cut, you must come in fa shion: look you, you must be all felt, fealt and feather, a fealt upon your bore hair: look you, these tiring things are justly out of request now: and do you hear? you must wear falling bans, you must come into the falling fashion: there is such a deal a pinning these ruffs, when the fine clean fallen is worth all: and a gen, if you should chance to take a nap in the afternoon, your falling band requires no poting stick to re cover his form believe me, no fashion to the falling I say. By my maidenhead la, honour and he agrees as well together as a satin suit and Woollen stockings. Yes in reversion as he had his office, as in truth he hath all things in reversion: he haz his Mistress in reversion, his clothes in reversion, his wit in reversion: and indeed is a suitor to me, for my dog in reversion: but in good verity la, he is as proper a gentleman in reversion as: and indeed, as fine a man as may be, having a read beard and a pair of wrapped legs. He is even one of the most busy fingered Lords, he will put the beauty's to the squeak most hideously. On his troth la, believe him not, that kind of cun nica ching is as stale as sir Oliver Anchoues persumde ierken: promise of matrimony by a young gallant, to bring a virgin La die into a fools paradise: make her a great woman, and then cast her off: 'tis as common as natural to a Courtier, as jealousy to a Citizen, gluttony ot a Puritan, wisdom to and Alderman, pride to a Tailor, or and empty handbasket to one of these sixpeny damnations: of his troth la, believe him not, traps to catch polecats. To speak feelingly, more, more richly in ol idem sense then worthless words, give me those jewels of your ears to receive my enforced duty, as for my partly 'tis well F rneze pri uately eedes Maquerelles hands with jewels during this speech. known I can put any thing; can bea e patiently with any man: But when I herd he wronged your precious sweetness, I was enforced to take deep offence; 'Tis most certain he loves Emilia with high appetite; and as she told me (as you know we women impart our secrets one to another,) when she repulsed his suit, in that he was possessed with your endeared grace: Mendoza most ingrate fully renounced all faith to you. Meaning Aemilia. Upon my honour, will you fit and eat? 'Tis a pretty pearl, by this pearl, (how dost with me,) thus it is, seven and thirty yelks of Barbary hens eggs, eighteen spoonfuls and a half of the I ice of cockesparrow bones, one ounce, three drammes, four scruples, and one quarter of the syrup of Ethiopian dates, sweetened with three quarters of a poond of pure candide Indian Eringos, strewed over with the powder of pearl of America, amber of Cataia, and lamb stones of Moscovia. Have you the art to seem honest? Peace, 'tis in the Duchess bedchamber, good rest most prosperously graced Ladies. Men say? let men say wha they will, life a woman, they are ignorant of your wants, the more in years, the more in per fection they grow: if they lose youth & beauty, they gain wise dome & discretion: But when our beauty fades, goodnight with us: there cannot be and uglier thing to see, then and old woman, from which, Oh pruning, pinching, & painting, deliver all sweet beauty's. Oh fool will you be ready anon to go with me to the revels; the hall will be so pestered anon. Now thou hast drunk my health; fool I am friends with thee. Oh good my Lord, I have lived in the Court this twenty year, they that have been old Courtiers and come to live in the City, they are spighted at and thrust to the walls Like Apricokes, good my Lord.
