The Witch of Edmonton, which was probably first performed in sixteen twenty three,
0:19
was not published until thirty five years later in sixteen fifty eight. It was
0:24
then issued in the usual quarto form with the title The Witch of Edmonton.
0:28
A known true story composed into a tragi comedy by divers well esteemed poets William
0:34
Rowleigh, Thomas Decker, John Ford, et cetera, acted by the Prince's
0:38
servants, often at the cockpit in Drury Lane, once at court with singular
0:42
applause. The best modern reprint of the play is that in the Gifford Dice
0:46
edition of Ford, upon which the present version is based. It is impossible
0:51
to assign the exact share of the various authors in the play. The Business
0:55
of the Witch, the rustic chorus, and certain other parts marked themselves out
0:58
as mainly Deckers. The conception of Sir Arthur Clarington and the subsidiary domestic clock
1:03
is no doubt, mainly for its Rowley's share is more difficult to ascertain.
1:07
The intimate collaboration of all three can alone be held accountable for some of the
1:11
scenes, and indeed, in even the passages most characteristic of any one of
1:15
the authors, the touch of another often shows itself in a chance word or
1:19
phrase. The justification for the description of the play as a known true story
1:25
is a pamphlet written by Henry Goodcoll and published at London in sixteen twenty one,
1:30
giving an account of one Elizabeth Sawyer, late of Islington, who was
1:34
executed in sixteen twenty one for witchcraft. See Calfield's Portraits, Memoirs and Characters
1:40
of Remarkable Person seventeen ninety four. No existing copy of the pamphlet is known,
1:45
but the British Museum possesses copies of two of Goodcoal's other pamphlets on similar
1:49
subjects. Prologue the Town of Edmonton hath lent to the stage a devil and
1:55
a witch, both in age. To make comparisons, it were uncivil between
2:00
so even a pair a witch and a devil. But as the year doth
2:02
with his plenty bring as well as the latter as a former spring, so
2:07
hath this witch enjoyed the first in reason presumes she may partake the other season
2:12
enacts deserving name. The proverb says, once good and ever why not so
2:15
in plays? Why not in this? Since gentlemen we flatter no expectation.

4:19
end of the last act London The Witch of Edmonton Act The first scene one
4:27
the neighborhood of Edmonton. A room in the house of Sir Arthur Clarington,
4:31
Enter Frank Thorny and Winnifred. Who is with child? Come wench, why
4:36
here's a business soon dispatched? Thy heart I know is now at ease.
4:41
Thou needst not fear what thee tattling gossips in their cups can speak against thy
4:45
fame. Thy child shall know whom to call Dad. Now you avere discharged
4:48
the true part of an honest man. I cannot request a fuller satisfaction than
4:54
you are freely granted. Yet methinks tis a hard case. Being lawful man
4:59
and wife, we shall you should not live together. Had I failed in
5:01
promise of my truth to thee, we must then have been ever sundered.
5:04
Now the longest of our forbearing either's company is only but to gain a little
5:10
time for our continuing thrift, that so hereafter the heir that shall be born
5:15
shall not have cause to curse his hour of birth, which made him feel
5:17
the misery of beggary and want two devils. That are occasions to enforce a
5:23
shameful end. My plots aim but to keep my father's love, and that
5:28
will be as difficult to be preserved when he shall understand how you are married,
5:32
as it will be now should you confess it to him. Fathers are
5:35
won by degrees, not bluntly as our masters or wronged friends are, And
5:41
besides our use, such dutiful and ready means that ere he can have notice
5:46
of what's passed. The inheritance to which I am born heir shall be assured
5:50
that done, Why let him know it if you like it not, yet
5:54
he shall have no power in him left to cross the thriving of it.
5:57
You, who had the conquest of my man and love, may easily conquer
6:01
the fears of my distrust. And whither must I be hurried? Prithee,
6:05
do not use a word so much unsuitable to the constant affections of thy husband.
6:11
Thou shalt live near Waltham Abbey with thy uncle Selman. I have acquainted
6:15
him with all at large. He'll use thee kindly. Thou shalt want no
6:18
pleasures nor any unfit supplies. Whatever thou canst in heart desire, all these
6:24
are nothing without your company, which thou shalt have once every month, at
6:29
least once every month. Is this to have an husband? Perhaps oftener,
6:34
that's as occasion serves? Ay? Ay, in case no other beauty tempt
6:40
youry, whom you like better, I may chance to be remembered and see
6:44
you now and then, faith, I did hope you'd not have used me.
6:47
So tis but my fortune. And yet, if not for my sake,
6:51
have some pity upon the child I go with, that's your own,
6:57
Unless you'll be a cruel hearted father you cannot, but remember that Heaven knows
7:01
how to quit which fear at once, as by the ceremony late performed,
7:06
I plighted THEE a faith as free from challenge as any double thought. Once
7:12
more, in hearing of Heaven and THEE, I vow that never henceforth disgrace,
7:17
reproof, lawless affections, threats, or what can be suggested against our
7:23
marriage shall cause me falsify that bridal oath that binds me thine and Winifred,
7:30
whenever the wanton heat of youth, by subtle baits of beauty, or what
7:33
woman's art can practice, draw me from only loving thee, let Heaven inflict
7:39
upon my life some fearful ruin. I hope thou dost believe me swear no
7:45
more. I am confirmed. I will resolve to do what you think most
7:48
behopeful for us. Thus, then make thyself ready at the furthest house upon
7:53
the green without the town. Your uncle expects you for a little time.
7:57
Farewell, sweet, We shall meet again as soon as thou canst. Possibly
8:03
we shall one kiss away exit Winifred enter, Sir Arthur Clarington, Frank Thorny
8:11
here sir alone, Then must I tell thee in plain terms, thou hast
8:16
wronged thy master's host, basely and ludeley your house, sir. Yes,
8:22
sir, if the nimble devil that wanted in your blood rebelled against all rules
8:26
of honest duty, you might, sir, have found out some more fitting
8:30
place than here, to have built a stews in all the country. Whispers,
8:33
how shamefully thou hast done a maid approved from modest life for civil carriage
8:37
till thy prevailing perjuries enticed her to forfeit shame? Will you be honest yet
8:43
make her amends and marry her? So, sir, I might bring both
8:46
myself and her to beggary, and that would be a shame worse than the
8:50
other. You should have thought on this before, and then your reason would
8:52
have overswayed the passion of your unruly lust. But that you may be left
8:58
without excuse to solve the infamy of my disgraced house. And cause you are
9:01
a gentleman, and both of you my servants, I'll make the made a
9:05
portion, so you promised me before, in case I married her. I
9:09
know, Sir Arthur Clarington deserves the credit report have lent him. And presume
9:13
you are a debtor to your promise, But upon what certainty shall I resolve?
9:16
Excuse me for being somewhat rude, It is but reason well, Frank,
9:22
what thinks Thou art two hundred pounds and a continual friend, so my
9:26
poor fortunes might happily prefer me to a choice of a far greater portion.
9:31
Yet, to write a wronged maid, and to preserve your favor, I
9:35
am content to accept your proffer, Art thou sir, We shall every day
9:41
have need to employ the use of what you please to give. Thou shalt
9:45
have. Then I claim your promise. We are man and wife already,
9:50
and more than so, sa I have promised her free entertainment in her uncle's
9:54
house near Waltham Abbey, where she may securely sojourn till time, and my
9:58
in work, my father's love and liking. Honest Frank, I hope so
10:03
you will think I cannot keep her without a daily charge. As for the
10:07
money tis all thine own. And though I cannot make thee a present payment,
10:11
yet thou shalt be sure I will not fail thee. But our occasions,
10:16
nay, nay, talk not of your occasions. Trust my bounty.
10:20
It shall not sleep hast married her. If faith Frank tis well, tis
10:24
passing well? Then Whenefrid once more, thou art an honest woman. Frank,
10:30
thou hast a jewel love her? She'll deserve it. And when to
10:33
Waltham she is making ready, her uncle stays for her most provident speed,
10:39
Frank, I will be thy friend, and such a friend thout bring her
10:43
thither, Sir, I cannot nearly. My father sent me word I should
10:46
come to him marry. And do I know thou hast a wit to handle
10:50
him? I have a suit to you. What is it anything? Frank
10:54
commanded that you'll please by letters to assure my father that I am not married.
11:01
How some one or other hath certainly informed him that I purposed to marry
11:05
Winifred, on which he threatened to disinherit me to prevent it. Lowly,
11:11
I crave your letters, which he seeing will credit, and I hope ere
11:16
I return on such conditions as our frame his lands shall be assured. But
11:20
what is there to quit my knowledge of the marriage? Why you are not
11:24
a witness to it? I conceive and then his land confirmed. Thou wilt
11:30
acquaint him thoroughly with all that's passed. I mean no less, provided I
11:35
never was made privy to it. Alas sir, am I a talker,
11:37
draw thyself the letter. I'll put my hand to it. I commend thy
11:41
policy. Thou art witty, witty, frank nay NATEI is fit dispatch it.
11:46
I shall write effectually. Exit, go thy way, cuckoo. Have
11:52
I caught the young man one trouble? Then is freed? He that will
11:56
feast at others cast must be a bo old face guest re enter Winifred in
12:03
a riding suit. When I have heard the news, all now is safe.
12:07
The worst is past. Thy lip wench kisses her. I must bid
12:13
farewell for fashion's sake, But I will visit thee sudedly girl, This was
12:18
cleanly carried. Ho wast not win ben were my happiness that I, in
12:22
heart repent I did not bring him the dower of a virginity. Sir,
12:28
forgive me. I have been much to blame. Had not my lewdness given
12:31
way to your moderate waste of virtue, you had not, with such eagerness,
12:35
pursued the error of your goodness. Dear dear Win, I hug this
12:41
art of thine. It shows how cleanly thou canst beguile in case occasion,
12:45
serve to practice it becomes thee. Now we share free scope enough, without
12:50
control or fear to winterchange our pleasures, we will surfit in our embrace's wench.
12:54
Come tell me when wilt thou appoint a meeting? What to do good?
13:00
Good? To con the lesson of our loves, our secret game.
13:03
Oh blush to speak it further, as you're a noble gentleman. Forget a
13:07
sin so monstrous tis not gently done to open a cured wound. I know
13:11
you speak for trial truth. You need not I for a trial? Not
13:16
I by this good sunshine? Can you name that syllable of good and yet
13:20
not tremble to think to what a foul and black intent you use it for
13:24
an oath? Let me resolve you if you appear in any visitation that brings
13:31
not with it pity for the wrongs done to abuse at thorny, my kind
13:35
husband, if you infect mine ear with any breath that is not thoroughly perfumed
13:39
with size for former deeds of lust, may I be cursed even in my
13:43
prayers. When I vouchsafe to see or hear you, I will change my
13:48
life from a loose hore to a repentant wife. Wilt thou turn monster?
13:52
Now? Art not ashamed after so many months to be honest at last?
13:58
Away, Away, Fiunt. My resolution is built upon a rock. This
14:03
very day, young Thorny vowed with oaths not to be doubted, that never
14:07
any change of love should cancel the bonds in which we are to either bound
14:09
of lasting truth. And shall I, then, for my part unfile the
14:13
sacred oath set on record in Heaven's book. Sir Arthur, do not study
14:18
to add dear lascivious lust the sin of sacrilege. For if you but endeavor,
14:24
by any unchaste word to tempt my constancy, you strive as much as
14:28
in you lies to ruin a temple hallowed to the purity of holy marriage.
14:33
I have said enough. You may believe me. Get you to your nunnery.
14:37
They're freeze and your cold cloister. This is fine. Good angels guide
14:43
me, sir. You'll give me leave to weep and pray for your conversion.
14:48
Yes, a way to waltham pox on your honesty. Have you no
14:52
other trick to fool me? Well? You may want money, yet none
14:54
that I'll send for to you. For hire of a damnation. When I
14:58
am going think on my just complaint. I was your devil. Oh be
15:05
you my saint. Exit go go thy ways as changeable a beggage as ever,
15:11
cousin Knight, I'm glad I'm rid of her. Honest marry Hangar.
15:16
Thorny is my debtor. I thought to have paid him too, But fools
15:20
have fortune. Exit Scene two, Edmonton. A room in Carter's house.
15:28
Enter Old Thorny and Carter. You offer Master Carter like a gentleman. I
15:33
cannot find fault with it. Disaffair, no gentlemen, I, Master Thorny,
15:39
spare the mastership. Call me by my name, John Carter. Master
15:43
is a title my father nor his before him were acquainted with. Honest Hertfordshire
15:48
yeoman, such an one am I My word and my deed shall be proved
15:54
one at all times. I mean to give you no security for the marriage.
16:00
How no security, although it need not so long as you live.
16:07
Yet who is he as surety of his life? One hour? Men?
16:11
The proverbs is immortal. Else for my part, I distrust you not for
16:15
the sum double double treble. More or less, I tell you, Master
16:18
Thorny, I'll give no security. Bonds and bills are but terriers to catch
16:23
fools and keep lazy knaves busy. My security shall be present payment, and
16:30
we hear about Edmonton, hold present payment as sure as an alderman's bond in
16:33
London, Master Thorny, I cry you mercy, sir, I understood you
16:40
not. I like young Frank well, so does my Susan too. The
16:45
girl has a fancy to him, which makes me ready in my purse.
16:48
There may be other suitors within that make much noise to little purpose. If
16:53
Frank loves Sue, Sue shall have none. But Frank tis a mannerly girl,
16:59
Master Thornton, though but a homely man's daughter. There have worse faces
17:03
looked out of black bags. Man, you speak of mind freely and honestly.
17:08
I marvel my son comes not. I'm sure he will be here sometime
17:12
today, today or tomorrow. When he comes, he shall be welcome to
17:18
bread, beer and beef yeoman's fair. We have no kickshawls, full dishes,
17:22
whole bellyfuls. Should I die at three days at one of the slender
17:27
City suppers, you might send me to barber Surgeon's hall the fourth day to
17:32
hang up for an anatomy. Here come they that enter warbick with Susan Somerton
17:37
with Catherine. How now girls every day play day with you Valentine's Day two,
17:42
all by couples. Thus will young folk do when we are laid in
17:48
our graves? Master Thorny, here's all the care they take? And how
17:52
do you find the wenches? Gentlemen? Have they any mind to a loose
17:56
gown and a straight shoe? Win em and wear em? They shall choose
18:00
for themselves by my consent. You speak like a kind father. Sue thou
18:06
hearest the liberty that's grunted thee. What sayest thou wilt thou be mine?
18:11
You? What, sir? I dare swear? Never your wife canst thou
18:15
be so unkind considering how dearly I affect thee? Nay, don't on thy
18:22
perfections. You are studied to scholarlike in words. I understand not I am
18:27
too cause for such a gallant's love as you are by the honor of gentility.
18:33
Good sir, No swearing yea and nay with us prevail above all oaths
18:37
you can invent by this right hand of thine. Take a false oath fi
18:44
fi flatter the wise fools not regarded, And one of these am I dost
18:49
thou despise me? Let them talk on, Master Thorny, I know Sue's
18:53
mind. The fly may buzz about the candle, he shall, but singe
18:57
his wings when all done, Frank Frank is he has her heart? But
19:03
shall I live in hope? Kate better so than be a desperate man?
19:07
Perhaps thou thinkest it is thy portion I lovel that wert thou as poor in
19:12
fortunes as thou art rich in goodness. I would rather be suitor for the
19:18
dower of thy virtues than twice thy father's whole estate. And prithee be thou
19:23
resolved. So, Master Somerton, it is an easy labor to deceive,
19:29
and may that will believe men's subtle promises. Yet I conceive of you as
19:33
worthily as I presume you to deserve, which is as worthily in loving thee
19:37
sincerely as thou art worthy to be so beloved. I shall find time to
19:44
try you do, Kate, do, And when I fail, may all
19:48
my joys forsake me, or Beckon Sue are at it. Still I laugh
19:53
to myself, Master Thorny, to see how earnestly beats the bush while the
19:57
bird is flown into another's bosom of very unthrift. Master Thorny, one of
20:03
the country roaring lads, we have such as well as the city, and
20:07
as arrant rake hells as they are, though not so nimble at their prize
20:11
as a wit. Sue knows the rascal to a hare's breadth, and will
20:15
fit him accordingly. What is the other, gentleman? One Somerton, the
20:21
honester man of the two by five pound in every stone weight, a civil
20:25
fellow. He has a fine convenient estate of land in west ham by Essex.
20:29
Master ranges that dwells by Enfield sent him hither. He likes Kate well,
20:34
I may tell you I think she likes him as well. If they
20:37
agree, I'll not hinder the match for my part. But that warback is
20:42
such another. I use him kindly for Master Somerton's sake, for he came
20:47
hither first as a companion of his honest men. Master Thorny may fall into
20:52
Knave's company now and then three hundred a year, juncture, Sue, well,
20:57
is it by sea of a land? I think? By sea?
21:02
Do I look like a captain? Not a wit, Sir, should all
21:06
that use the seas be reckoned, captains as not a ship should have a
21:08
scullion in her to keep her clean? Do you scorn me? Mistress Susan?
21:15
Am I a subject to be jeered at? Neither am I a property
21:18
for you to use as stale to your front want and lose discourse. Pray,
21:22
sir, be civil. He'll be angry, wasp god a mercy,
21:27
sue she'll firk him on my life if he fumble with her under frank,
21:33
Master Francis Thorny, you are welcome. Indeed your father expected your coming.
21:38
How does the right worshipful night, Sir Arthur Clarington your master and health this
21:44
morning, Sir, my JUSI now you come as I could wish. Aside
21:49
Frank Thorny her you must excuse me. Virtuous misters, Susan kind Mistress Catherine
21:56
kisses them, gentlemen to both good time with the day. The like to
22:00
you tis he a word friend aside to Somerton on my life. This is
22:07
the man stands fair in crossing Susan's love to me. Aside to Warbeck,
22:12
I think no less, be wise and take no notice on it he that
22:18
can win her best deserves her. Aside to Somerton, Maddy, a serving
22:25
man. Yeah, aside to Warback, prithy friend. No more, gentlemen,
22:30
all there's within a slight dinner ready if you please to taste of it,
22:34
Master Thorny, Master Francis, Master Somerton, Why girls, what huswives?
22:41
Will you spend all your forenoon in the tittle tattles away? It's well
22:45
in faith? Will you go in? Gentlemen, we'll follow. Presently.
22:51
My son and I have a few words of business at your pleasure. It
22:56
seems all but old Thorny and Frank. I think you guess the reason Frank,
23:00
for which I sent for you. Yes, sir, I need not
23:04
tell you with what a labyrinth of dangers daily the best part of my whole
23:10
estates encumbered, Nor have I any clue to wind it out. But what
23:15
occasion proffers me wherein? If you should falter, I shall have the shame,
23:19
and you the loss. On these two points to rely our happiness or
23:23
ruin. If you marry with wealthy Carter's daughter, there's a portion will free
23:30
my land, all which I will in state upon the marriage to you.
23:33
Otherwise I must be of necessity enforced to make a present sale of all,
23:40
and yet for aught I know Leavin is poor distress or worse than now I
23:44
Do you hear the sum I told you thus before? Have you considered aunt
23:49
I have, sir? And however I could wish to enjoy the benefit of
23:53
single freedom, For that I find no disposition in me to undergo the burden
23:59
of that care marriage brings with it. Yet to secure and settle the continuance
24:03
of your credit, I humbly yield to be directed by you in all commands.
24:08
You have already used such thriving protestations to the maid that she is wholly
24:14
yours, and speak the truth you love her? Do you not that to
24:19
a pity, sir, I should deceive her better you'd been unborn. But
24:25
is your love so steady that you mean nay more desire to make her your
24:30
wife? Else, sir, it were a wrong not to be righted?
24:33
True it were, and you will marry her heaven prosper it I do intend
24:41
it. Thou art a villain, a devil like a man. Wherein have
24:45
I offended all the powers so much to be father to such a graceless,
24:49
godless son? To me sir, this, oh, my cleft heart,
24:52
to thee son of my curse, speak truth and blush thou monster, hast
25:00
thou not married? Winifred a maid was fellow servant with thee aside, some
25:06
swift spirit has blown this news abroad. I must outface it. Do you
25:10
study for excuse while all the country is flaunt with your license? Tis not
25:15
charitable? I am sure it is not fatherly so much to be persuayed with
25:19
credulous conceit of mere impossibilities. But fathers are privileged to think and talk at
25:25
pleasure. Why canst thou yet deny thou hast no wife? What do you
25:30
take me for an atheist? One that nor hopes the blessedness of life hereafter,
25:33
neither fears the vengeance due to such as make the marriage bed an inn
25:37
which travelers day and night after a toilsome lodging leave at pleasure? Have I
25:42
become so sensible of losing the glory of Creation's work my soul? Oh?
25:47
I have lived too long? Thou hast dissembler. Dst thou persever yet and
25:52
pull down wrath as hot as flames of hell, to strike thee quick into
25:56
the grave of horror I believe not get from my sight, sir, though
26:03
mine innocence needs not a stronger witness than the clearness of an unperished conscience.
26:07
Yet for that I was informed how mainly you had been possessed of this untruth.
26:12
To quit all scruple, please you peruse this letter tis to you from
26:18
whom Sir Arthur Clarington, my master well, Sir reads aside on every side.
26:27
I am distracted and waded deeper into mischief than virtue can avoid. But
26:33
on I must, Fate leads me. I will follow. There you read
26:38
what may confirm you, yes, and wonder at it. Forgive me,
26:45
Frank, credulity abused me. My tears expressed my joy, and I am
26:52
sorry I injured innocence alas I knew your rage and grief proceeded from your love
26:57
to me, so I conceived it. My good son, I'll bear with
27:03
many faults in thee hereafter bear thou with mine. The peace is soon concluded.
27:11
Re Enter Carter and Susan. Why Master Thorny, do you mean to
27:15
talk out your dinner? The company attends your coming? What must it be,
27:21
Master Frank or son? Frank, I am playing dunstable son, brother,
27:27
if your daughter liked to have it, so I dare be confident she
27:30
is not altered from what I left her at our parting last, are you
27:34
fair? Mate? She took too sure a possession of an engaged heart,
27:38
which now I challenge Mary, and much good may it do thee son,
27:45
take her to thee. Get me a brace of boys at a burthen Frank,
27:48
the nursing shall not stand thee in a penny's worth of milk. Reach
27:52
your home and spare not. When's the day tomorrow? If you please?
27:57
To you ceremony of child and custom were to little purpose. Their loves are
28:03
married fast enough already a good motion. Will ee have a household dinner and
28:08
let the fillers go scrape. Let the bride and bridegroom dance at night together,
28:12
no matter for the guests tomorrow sue tomorrow shalls to dinner. Now we
28:18
are on all sides pleased. I hope, pray Heaven, I may deserve
28:22
the blessing sent me. Now my heart is settled, so is mine.
28:27
Your marriage money shall be received before your wedding shoes can be pulled on.
28:32
Blessing on you both aside, No man can hide his shame from heaven that
28:37
fews him in vain. He flees, whose destiny pursues him, except end
28:45
of Act one
