Full speech
Enough good Sir; not a drop more by this light. No no, no, no, no. Your health will make me sick sir. May I not stand and pledge it sir? Nay then indeed I must not stand, for you cannot. Old boy, you'll make me a young child anon: for if I continue this, I shall scarce be able to go alone. Good reason sir, the beer has sent all the malt up into your brain, and left nothing but the water in your body. T'is somewhat late Madame. Faith Madame, she has suitors. But they will not suit her me thinks. They will not come off lustily it seems. I mean (Madame) they are not rich enough. Indeed among our equals Madame; but otherwise we shall be put horribly out o'countenance. Your Lad ship has made me blush. Oh what is that Madame? I pray! A Lady, Madame? alas a Lady is a great thing, I cannot compass her. I could find i'my heart Madame. Are you sure he is gone? I would I were gone too. Has shook me almost into a dead palsy. I would I were out at the back door. Yes sir, when I have recovered my spirits. My me mory is almost frighted from me.—O so, so, so.— Why Sir, as I came along the street Sir;—this same Gentle man came stumbling after me, and trod o'my heckle,— I cried Oh. Do you cry sirrah? says he. Let me see your heel; if it be not hurt, I'll make you cry for something. So he claps my head between his legs, and Pulls off my shoe. I having shifted no socks in a sea' night, the Gentleman cried foh; and said my feet were base and cowardly feet, they stunk for fear. Then he knocked my shoe about my pate, and I cried Oh, once more. In the mean time comes a shag. haired dog by, and rubs against his shins. The Gentle man took the dog in shag-hair to be some Watchman in a rug gown; and swore he would hang me up at the next door with my lanthorn in my hand, that to passengers might see their way as they went without rubbing against Gentle men's shins. So, for want of a Cord. he took his own garters off; and as he was going to make a nooze, I watched my time and ran away. And as I ran (indeed) I bid him hang himself in his own gatters. So he in choler, puisued me him there as you see. How soever it savours, I am sure it smells Like a lie. So it had need, for your foredoor (here) is both common and dangerous. Good night Madame; if you get me kissing o'Ladies again.— 'Precious! I was sent by his Lady to see if her Lord were in bed; I should have done't slily without discovery; and now I am blurted upon they before I was aware. How means your Lordship that? A wench o'the trade. Oh no my Lord. Those falling diseases cause baldness; and my Mistress recovers the lose of hair, for she is a Peri wig-maker. I know not my Lord. Oh Yes! Oh yes! Oh yes! If any man, 'Court, City or Country, has found my Lady Levidulcia in bed, but my Lord Beforest, it is Sebastian. Can you laugh it my Lord? I thought you meant to proclaim your self Cuckold. Some body's doing has undone us; and we are Like pay dearly for't. Wil't not be a chargeable reckoning, think you; when here are half a dozen fellows coming to callus to account, with every man a several bill in his hand, that we are not able to discharge. Good my Lord her rend is great. The good Gen tlewoman has no other thing to live by but her lodgings: So, she's forced to let her fore-rooms out to others, and her self contented to lie backwards. Sells Falls and Tires, and Bodies for Ladies; or so. At her Ladyships pleasure; my Lord. If your Logger heads will not, your Hogsheads shall Madame, if I get into the Buttery.
Plot summary
Plot — The Atheist's Tragedy, or The Honest Man's Revenge
Montferrers has forbidden his son Charlemont from going to war and refused him the money necessary to equip himself. Charlemont gets a subvention from his uncle, D’Amville, and this persuades Montferrers to change his mind. But D’Amville is an atheist who believes that he must make his happiness in this world rather than wait for reward or punishment in the next, and he has an ulterior motive for wanting his nephew out of the way. Castabella loves Charlemont, and has privately agreed to marry him when he returns. They entrust their secret only to the Puritan Languebeau Snuffe. D’Amville bribes Snuffe to betray them and persuade Belleforest, her father, to make her marry Rousard, his son. Castabella is pressured into the match, despite the protestations of Sebastian, Rousard’s younger brother. As soon as he is married, Rousard falls ill with symptoms which include impotence. On the wedding day, D’Amville’s accomplice Borachio brings false news that Charlemont has been killed in battle. Montferrers makes a new will in D’Amville’s favour. D’Amville gets Montferrers’s torchbearers drunk at the wedding celebrations, and tricks them into quarrelling with one another when lighting their master home; the torches go out in the fight, allowing Borachio to murder Montferrers under cover of darkness. Montferrers’s ghost appears to Charlemont, tells him of the murder, and enjoins him not to take revenge. Charlemont returns to France to find himself presumed dead and his fiancée unhappily married. He confronts D’Amville and has an altercation with Sebastian, but another appearance by the ghost prevents him from getting carried away. D’Amville fabricates an unpaid debt in order to have Charlemont imprisoned, but Sebastian, who has been slightly injured, asks for money to pay a surgeon and uses it to pay the supposed debt and get Charlemont released. D’Amville takes steps to secure the future of his estate. Reasoning that Rousard will beget no son and that Sebastian, a libertine, will never marry, he decides that he will have to produce a bastard to be his heir, and selects Castabella as the mother. He commissions Borachio to murder Charlemont in the churchyard, but Charlemont kills Borachio instead. Snuffe uses the same churchyard for an assignation, intending to scare off any unwanted attention by disguising himself as the ghost of Montferrers, but he is himself frightened by Charlemont and runs away leaving the disguise behind. Charlemont hides in the charnel house.…
