STITCHWELL

Beside the recreation Sir, 'tis he althfull. But stirring and exercise, I say. I tell you Mr. Changelove though I am a Taylor I keep servants that are stout knaves. I love them well, and they look well to my business. On holidays I give them leave to use exercise. I have a Cornish -Lad that wrastles well, and hath brought home Rabbets every Bartholmew -tide these five years. At stool ball I have a Northwest stripling shall deal with ever a boy in the strand. How said you sir? cannot that Gentleman in dure women? Right: or if he stay behind, let my wife alone oh vex him. Every man his dozen. Exeunt running. Do you think Gentlemen I'ld let you outstrip me at exercise? I'll jump with you for a dozen more. Let her alone. If she do it not, I durst forswear exercise; and that would be the greatest vexation. Mere tri less to the orbearing of exercise. A very likely matter. She that go's thrice a week to morning exercise, and will make rep tition over sweet meats at a gossipping. I tell you gentlemen, I have trusted her to a Mask, and the Inns a Court reveling: she knew the way home again without a Crier. She hath converted a hundred of her purer neighbours, by her example. Welcome sweetheart. Whats the matter chuck? Come Gentlemen, shall we walk in. Pray sir let's go nearer the women. My wife shall vex you then. One cup more, I'll be for the exercise. My head akes Wife; where art chicken? O my stomach; it's very sick. Why not in that rub? Alas good gentleman; he hid himself from my Wife, and see what's happened. Beware horns there. Room for one of the headmen in his Parish: a monster of his wives making. And have I taken you sir Lancelot? would you be billing with my Gumiver? Pray first hear mine: let's run to TO tenham-Court for a wager. Hold good wife, before strangers? Tother dozen, and then I'm gone. Gentlemen, a health to— All the Cuckolds in the strand. Wife, you shall drink a health to all the Cuckold-maker in Cornwall. Well said Wife; to him Wife. Tother health, and then farewell, A Taylor in the Strand; and I am as good a man there as Deputy Tagg in the City, though he think him self and Alderman's fellow, and no Cuckold. Why, you may do what you will; and I will do what I list. Exit. O gentlemen my head, my head; o gentlemen. Good heart but that he cannot endure a woman, She should kiss him for amends. Let's vex him no more Gentlemen. Come wife, He go sleep a little. Exeunt. For this attempt King Arthur does here degrade thee from a Knight of his round Table, to be a Squire of his Wives body. So conduct me to her bed; where I will beget a raze of warriors shall cage thy great Turkship a gain, and restore Constantinople to the Emperor. Peace follows victory, let us now to rest. Who wants assistance? who breaks the Kings peace? fetch me my Constables staff. Wife and Mr. Changelove, where the company? Prithee peace sweet wife: I'll mend all. I'll buy my pardon for it with a new gown, and a journey into the Country next vacation. And we had drink sir. No matter Wife: kind Mr. Changelove will pay for all. Would! where is he? Then give me my Cloak. How! must Tailors pay Gallants reckonings? Have you such tricks? No great matter: it's but adding it to his bill in my debt-book, and presently are sting him with a fat Martialist. Here sirrah. I paid the reckoning M r Changelove, and am sorry for it, I mean the wrong I did you. It's a good exercise to rise in a frosty morning, and kill Birds. And excellent conceit; how Like you it Wife? This Gentleman cannot endure the company of Women. And here's a double comfort; being wedded, She's neither false, nor am I jealous headed. Exeunt. After him Wife, put him too't, and tickle him home. By your leave then; I must, and I will, I will and I must. The Gentlemen that were in our company! Let us prevent them. Be not afraid Wife.
