DAME TURF

Why, if you keep so many, Mr. Turf, Why, should not all present our service to her? Come, you are such another Mr. Turf: A Clod you should be called, of a high Constable: To let no music go afore your child, To Church, to cheer her heart up this cold morning. Husband, what do you mean? Son Clay for Gods sake— Out on him for a knave, what a dead fright He has put me into? Come Awdrey, do not shake. Husband— Faith, Man—. Odd precious woman, hold your tongue; And mind your pigs of the spit at home; you must Have Over in every thing. Pray you Sir, what kind Of fellows were they? By these Marks it should be John Clay, now bless the man! In the name of men, or beasts! what do you do? Hare the poor fellow out on his five wits, And seven senses? Do not weep John Clay. I swear the poor wretch is as guilty from it, As the Child was, was born this very morning. Why, do you hear man? Husband? Mr. Turf! What shall my Daughter do? Puppy, stay here. She follows her busb. and neighbours. Thy Master? what wouldst with thy Master, man? There's thy Mr. Tur. What's the matter Puppy? What sayest thou to thy Master, or thy Dame? What of Clay? Speak Puppy, what of him? What of my daughter Awdrey? Good Puppy, whither is she gone with him? Now, so you help not, man, I know not, I. That's done already man. Come up, Jack-sauce: It shall be served in to you. I still took you For and unmannerly Puppy: will you come, And fetch more wood to the vier, Mr. Ball? So saucy, Puppy? to use no more reverence Unto my Lady, and her velvet Gown? Your Ladyship is very welcome here. Please you, good Madam, to go never the house. Oh no, an't shall please you: He is posted hence to Pancridge with a witness. Young Justice Bramble has kept level coil Here in our Quarters, stole away our Daughter, And Mr. Turf is run after, as he can, To stop the marriage, if it will be stopped. What mean you by that Sir? A well bred youth! and vull of favour you are: Now heavens blessing light upon his heart: We are beholden to him, indeed Madam. No, he has hid himself out of the way, For fear o'the Huy and Cry. They go out. So, we have brought our eggs to a fair Market. Out on that villain Clay: would he do a robbery? I'll never trust smooth-faced Tile-man for his sake. Now on my faith, and holy-dom, we are Beholden to your worship. She's a Girl, A foolish Girl, and soon may tempted be: But if this day pass well once over her head, I'll wish her trust to her self. For I have been A very mother to her, though I say it. Madam, I had been there and hour ago: But that I waited on my man Ball Puppy. What Ball I say? I think the idle ouch Be fallen asleep in the bairn, he stays so long. Now all Zaints bless us, and if he be there, He is and ugly spright, I warrant. Alas that ever we were born. So near too? Oh this is John Clay. Justice Brambles man Told me so, Madam: And by that same token, And other things, he had away my Daughter, And two sealed bags of money. Haste Puppy. Call forth Mistress Dido Wisp, My Ladies Gentlewoman, to her Lady; And call your self forth, and a couple of maids, To wait upon me: we are all undone! My Lady is undone! her fine young son, The Squire is God away. And you John Clay; you are undone too! All! My husband is undone, by a true key, But a false token: And my self's undone, By parting with my Daughter, who'll be married To some body, that she should not, if we haste not. My husband lost? And my found Daughter lost? I fear me too. Where is your Gentleman, Madam? Poor John Clay, Thou hast lost thy Awdrey. Oh husband, are you a live? They said you were lost. Yes, Two hours ago, two fifty pounds in silver, And Awdrey too. You Master Turf, the fellow said. My Ladies son, the Squire here, vetch'd 'hun out. Puppy had put us all in such a vright, We thought the Devil was in the bairn; and no body Durst venture of hun. Who? Nor her Father, or Mother! Nay, and he be a Gentleman, let her shift. And I too, my fine Daughter. I could love her Now, twice as well, as if Clay had her. I'll have them play at dinner. How now? what noise is this with you, Ball Puppy?
