May I deserve this kindness of you, sir? Be thankful unto Heaven, and your Master: Nor let your heart grow bigger then your Purse, But live within a limit, least you burst out To Riot, and to Misery again: For then would lose the benefit I mean it. The lodging Sir, might serve better Guests. Good rest to all. God-might to both. Here untie: soft, let it alone, I have no disposition to sleep yet: G we me a Book, and leave me for a while, Some half hour hence, look into me. How now, what makes this bold intrusion? Business, from whom, is it of such importance That it craves present hearing? Then speak it, and be brief. Of love? Why sure the man is mad? bethink thy self, Thou hast forgotten thy errand? Why thou impudent fellow, unthrift of shame, As well as of thy purse; What has moved thee To prosecute thy ruin? hath my bounty, For which thy Master was and orator, Importune thee to pay me with abuse? Sirrah retire, or I will to your shame, With clamours raise the house, and make your Master For this attempt, return you to the Dungeon, From whence you came. Will you hear me? Knock within. It is my Maid. Who's there? Within Phillis. 'Tis I, forsooth. If it be you forsooth, then pray you stay, Till shall call upon you. Will you put up your naked weapon sir? You will not put it up. If this may be a testimony take it. Kiss him. By all my Hope's I love thee, thou are worthy Of the best widow living, thou to cast the course; And those that will win widows must do thus. Nay my deer love, know that I will not yield My body unto lust, until the Priest Shall ioynevs in Hymen's sacred nuptial rites. Give me the pen. Thou shalt not leave me so, come pre thee fit, We'll talk a while, for thou hast made my heart Dance in my bosom I receive such joy. But will you be a loving husband to me, Avoid all naughty company, and be true To me, and to my bed? I'll bind you to your word, see that you be, Or I'll conceal my bags, I have kins folks, To whom I'll mak't over, you shall not ba e penny. It means my vengeance; nay sir, you are fast, Nor do not dare to struggle, I have liberty, Both of my tongue and feet, I'll call my maid: Phillis come in, and help to triumph, Enter Phillis. Over this bold Intruder, wonder not wench, But go unto him, and rans cke all his pockets, And take from thence a Contract which he forced From my unwilling fingers: Hast thou it girl? It is the same, give it me, look you sir, Thus your new fancied Hope's I tear asunder: Poor wretched man, t'hast had a golden dream, Which guilded over thy calamity: But being awake thou findest it ill laid on, For with one finger I have wiped it off: Go fetch me hither the Casket that contains My choicest Jewels, and spread them here before him; Look you fit: Here's gold, pearl, rubies, saphires, diamonds; These would be goodly things for you to pawn, Or revel with amongst your Courtesans, While I and mine did starve why dost not curse, And utter all the mischiefs of thy heart, Which I know swells within thee, pour it our, And let me hear thy fury. False traitor to thy master, and to me, Thou liest, there's no such thing within thee. May I be turned a monster, and the shame Of all my Sex,—and if I not believe thee, Take me unto thee, these, and all that's mine, Were it thrice trebled, thou Wertenberg worthy all: And do not blame this trial, cause it shows I give my self unto thee, am not forced, And with't alone, that never shall be divorced. It shall be in my Creed: but let's away, For night with her black Steeds draws up the day. Exeunt. Oh you are wrong, The prison that shall hold him are these arms. Faith all that I say, is, how ere it happen, Widow's Like M ids sometime may catch a clap. And upon us that love sir Lyonell.
Plot summary
Plot — Greene's Tu Quoque, or The City Gallant
The gallant Geraldine woos the mercer’s daughter Gertrude. She is attracted to him, but feigns lack of interest. Her father, Sir Lionel, is newly knighted at court. He plans to give up life as a tradesman and leaves Spendall to run his shop. Spendall is prodigal with the shop’s money: he sups with a whore and her associates, borrows money, gambles, and_ lives extravagantly. Staines is in the clutches of a usurer, his servant Bubble’s uncle, and plans to cut and run: he dismisses Bubble and is about to flee London when news arrives that the usurer is dead. Bubble inherits the estate, hires his former master as a servant, and plans, with his advice, to make himself a gallant. Staines intends to bilk his money back from Bubble and then use it buy back his lands once Bubble is forced by prodigality to sell them. Bubble sends him to buy new clothes, but Staines wears them himself and uses the money to gamble; Bubble himself joins the game as one of his opponents. Staines cheats with false dice, but is discovered by Spendall. They fight a duel; after both sustain slight wounds, they become friends. Sir Lionel plans to marry Gertrude to Bubble, hoping to get control of his inheritance. Her sister Joyce tries to get her to accept Geraldine, but she is _ steadfast. Joyce tells Geraldine that Gertrude does love | him, and he induces her to reveal her true feelings by feigning suicide.

Joyce herself is attracted to Staines, but she too is reluctant to act on it.

He is taken to prison, where he sells all his clothes; but this fails to clear the debt.
