But for my life I could not but think, he war the likest man that I had seen with mine eyes; and could not devaise the thing I had, might be vnbeggen by him. Then by and by as we walked, he asked mine Uncle, gin he would give him me to make a Lady till him. And by my troth Mistress Trainwell, I lee not, I blushed and luked upon him as I would feign a head it so: Mine Uncle said yes, and sir Philip shuke my hand, and Good feath my heart joyed at it.

Shall I ever get him by singing trou ye? In I would never but sing, if I thought that were the gainest way. It must be of my Love than, my Sparrow as I told you. And thus it goes.

But were my Philip comd a gain, I would not change my Love For Juno's bird with gawdy train, Nor yet for Venus Dove. Nay, would my Philip come again, I would not change my state, For his great Name sakes wealth of Spain, To be another's Mate. Philip Philip, &c. No no, you cannot be the Man. I know him right weel by you sir, as w lie as you be. Gin you had all his trim gear up on you, and all his sweets about you, yet I should not be so found to mistake a Jenny How let for a Tasse Gentle. Ah, ah, would. Feath, but eene eane.

Plot summary
Plot — The Northern Lass
Against the advice of his kinsman Triedwell, Sir Philip Luckless has contracted to marry Mistress Fitchew, a rich lawyer’s widow. He has second thoughts when he meets his future brother-in-law, the idiot Widgeon, and realizes that he may have allied himself to bad stock. Mistress Trainwell comes to remind him that he is already committed to marry the northern lass Constance, but he is unco-operative, calling Constance a whore and Trainwell a bawd. It later emerges that Constance sent Trainwell in the naive belief that a kiss from Luckless at a fleeting encounter was a binding offer of marriage. Triedwell attempts to save Luckless by dissuading Fitchew from the match. His arguments about the discontents of wifely obedience make no headway: Fitchew has already had her own dominance written into the marriage contract. Moreover, Triedwell falls 1629 in love with her himself. Fitchew suspects Luckless is trying to wriggle out of his obligations. When Luckless proposes having the marriage solemnized early, she takes it to be a bluff, and calls it; by that evening, they are married. They are presented with a wedding masque of forsaken lovers; Triedwell wears the willow for Fitchew and Constance for Luckless. This so offends Fitchew that she refuses to sleep with her new husband; Luckless regrets his hasty marriage. Constance falls into a melancholy over her lost love. Her uncle, the justice Sir Paul Squelch, tries to induce her to marry Nonsense, but she sees through an attempt to pass him off as Luckless. Squelch decides to get himself another heir by pursuing a more active sex life. Triedwell arranges for Holdup, a whore, to be brought before him in his official capacity; instead of punishing her, he adopts her as his mistress and, to ensure free access without suspicion, passes her off as Constance. Fitchew is persuaded to divorce Luckless, but she will only do so after Constance is already engaged. Triedwell induces Widgeon to woo the false Constance, which he does posing as Luckless. The real Constance is taken to see a doctor, who prescribes sex with Luckless as the cure for her melancholy; if that is questionable medical advice, it is because the ‘doctor’ is really Pate, Luckless’s servant. Squelch sees her leaving in Luckless’s coach and is told that she is eloping with Widgeon. The news of her brother’s success with ‘Constance’ fulfils Fitchew’s condition and the divorce goes through. Squelch is arrested as he goes to visit Holdup, and tries to pass…
