  Speaker 1: Prolog If for opinion, hath not blazed his fame nor
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: expectation filled the general round you deem his labor's slight.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You both confound your graver judgment and his merits impartial
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: hearing fits judicious spirits. Nor let the fruit of many
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: an hour fall by envy's tooth or base detractions gall
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: both which are tokens of such abject spirits, which, wanting
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: worth themselves, hate others, merits or else of such which
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: once made great by fame, repine at those which seek
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: tain the same from both. We know all truer judgments
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: free to them are muse with washing modesty patiently to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: her entreats their favor, which done with judgments, praise or
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: else dislike the labor act one seen one a gallery
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: in Guister's house. Enter Glucester, Mistress Glucester, and Maria.
• 2:48
  Speaker 10: Tricks and shows. Protestations with men are like tears with women.
• 2:52
  Speaker 10: For gut ere the cheek be dry. Gerardine is a gentleman.
• 2:57
  Speaker 10: His lands be in statutes. He is not for thee,
• 2:59
  Speaker 10: nor thou for him. He is a gallant. And young
• 3:01
  Speaker 10: thoughts be most unconstant.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Yet young vines yield most wine, but.
• 3:07
  Speaker 11: Old vines the best. Believe not these great breached gallons
• 3:12
  Speaker 11: they love for profit, not for affection. If he brings
• 3:15
  Speaker 11: thee to a fool's paradise, ye will forsake.
• 3:19
  Speaker 10: Thee which fortune God send my enemy. Love is a
• 3:22
  Speaker 10: cold heat, a bittersweet, a pleasure, full of pain, a
• 3:26
  Speaker 10: huge loss, and no gain. Why shouldst thou love him?
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Only words cannot force what destiny hath sealed. Who can
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: resist the influence of his stars, or give a reason
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: why he loves or hates? Since our affections are not
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: ruled by will, but will by our affections, tis blasphemy
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: against Love's most sacred deity to acts Why we do love?
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Since tis his only power that sways all our affections,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: All things which be beasts, birds, men, gods pay him
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: their fealty.
• 4:03
  Speaker 10: Tat love is an idle fantasy, bred by desire, nursed
• 4:07
  Speaker 10: by delight and humor, that begins his dominion in Leo
• 4:11
  Speaker 10: the lion, the sight of the heart, and ends in
• 4:14
  Speaker 10: Aries the ram, the signe of the head. His power
• 4:17
  Speaker 10: is to stir the blood, pricks up the flesh, fills
• 4:20
  Speaker 10: all the body with a lobidiness humor, and is indeed
• 4:23
  Speaker 10: the overture of all ladies, which to prevent I have
• 4:27
  Speaker 10: banished Jardine, your dearly beloved, in my house. And as
• 4:30
  Speaker 10: for you, since I am your guardian by my brother's
• 4:32
  Speaker 10: last will, I will sequester you from all other rooms
• 4:35
  Speaker 10: in my house, save this goary and your upper chamber,
• 4:38
  Speaker 10: till in discretion I shall find it convenient to enlarge
• 4:41
  Speaker 10: you my body.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You may circumscribe, confine, and keep in bounds, but my
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: unlimited love extends itself beyond all circumscription.
• 4:51
  Speaker 11: Believe me, Maria, I have known the natures of diverse
• 4:55
  Speaker 11: of these scallons. If they possess the unlimited love of
• 4:59
  Speaker 11: us women in never so ample manner without the society
• 5:03
  Speaker 11: of the body, I know how soon there love vaders.
• 5:08
  Speaker 11: Young man's love is like ivy. It must have somewhat
• 5:12
  Speaker 11: to cleave too, or it never prospers. Love is like
• 5:16
  Speaker 11: fasting days, but the body is like flesh days. And
• 5:21
  Speaker 11: this our English gallant's fashion to prefer a morsel of
• 5:24
  Speaker 11: flesh before all the fasting days in the whole year.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Enter, vile the news with you?
• 5:32
  Speaker 10: Vile?
• 5:33
  Speaker 12: Aun't it like your worship? Here's club Master Purge, the
• 5:37
  Speaker 12: Apothecary's prentice, come to invite you, my mistress, and mistress
• 5:42
  Speaker 12: Maria to supper and to see Master Jardine's will seal.
• 5:47
  Speaker 10: Tell club, my wife and myself will be there, but
• 5:49
  Speaker 10: Maria shall not come.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Exit vile.
• 5:54
  Speaker 10: There must be your sweetheart's parting feast. Now he perceies
• 5:57
  Speaker 10: no access to my house. He will to see a
• 6:00
  Speaker 10: good riddance if he returns, not you forsooth his heir.
• 6:04
  Speaker 10: That's not much amiss. Yet there may be tricks. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 10: will not be overreached. Come to your chamber. We are
• 6:10
  Speaker 10: till my return. You shall be unsafe custody.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Exit with Mistress Glister.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: O silly men which seek to keep in awe women's affections,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: which can know no law.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Maria ascends Scene two, a street before Glister's house. Enter Jerardine,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Lipsolv and Gudchin.
• 6:35
  Speaker 13: Now by the horns of Cupid's bow, which hath been
• 6:39
  Speaker 13: the bain to many a tall citizen. I think there
• 6:42
  Speaker 13: be no finer fools under heaven than we men. When
• 6:46
  Speaker 13: we are lovers. How thou goest crying up and down
• 6:50
  Speaker 13: with thy arms across for a wife which hadst thou,
• 6:55
  Speaker 13: she'd cross both arms, head and heart. Dost not yet
• 7:00
  Speaker 13: know the old saying a wife brings but two good days,
• 7:05
  Speaker 13: that is her wedding day and death day.
• 7:10
  Speaker 14: Believe him, Jodine, he speaks now Gospel. A man may
• 7:14
  Speaker 14: take more wife with one hand than he's able to
• 7:16
  Speaker 14: put away with ten, Jeredine. A wife is such a
• 7:19
  Speaker 14: cross that all married men would most gladly be.
• 7:22
  Speaker 15: Rid of, and yet such a cross that a bacheless
• 7:25
  Speaker 15: would gladly be creeping to profane. Not thus the sacred
• 7:29
  Speaker 15: name of love, you libertines, who never knew the joy
• 7:33
  Speaker 15: is no precious thoughts of two consenting hearts.
• 7:36
  Speaker 13: It's ever see the true picture of a lover. I
• 7:40
  Speaker 13: can give thee the hieroglyphic, and this it is a
• 7:44
  Speaker 13: man standing naked a wench, tickling him on the left
• 7:48
  Speaker 13: side with a feather, and pricking him under the right
• 7:51
  Speaker 13: side with a needle. The allegory, as I take it,
• 7:55
  Speaker 13: is this that at the first we are so overjoyed
• 7:59
  Speaker 13: with a ping a wife that we can see no
• 8:02
  Speaker 13: heaven like to the first night's lodging. And that's the
• 8:06
  Speaker 13: signification of the left side. For wives always in the
• 8:10
  Speaker 13: night take the left side lace. But sir, now come
• 8:14
  Speaker 13: to the needle on the right side. That's the daytime,
• 8:19
  Speaker 13: wherein she commands, then, sir, she has a certain thing
• 8:23
  Speaker 13: called tongue ten times more sharp than a needle, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 13: that at the least displeasure a man must have shot
• 8:32
  Speaker 13: quite through.
• 8:33
  Speaker 16: Him gramercys lipsel my neat courtier. But Sarah Gerardine, be
• 8:38
  Speaker 16: thyself sociable and free, leave not thy native soil for
• 8:42
  Speaker 16: jiglo awen chu in her wit is plowed.
• 8:45
  Speaker 13: In her smile, deceitful.
• 8:48
  Speaker 17: In her hate, revengeful, and.
• 8:50
  Speaker 13: In nothing but her death acceptable. I'll tell thee there's
• 8:55
  Speaker 13: no creature more desirous of an honest name, and worse
• 8:59
  Speaker 13: keeps it than a woman.
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: Dost hear?
• 9:03
  Speaker 13: Follow this song? And if ever thou forsake thy country
• 9:07
  Speaker 13: for a wagtail, let me be whipped to death with
• 9:10
  Speaker 13: ladies hair laces.
• 9:12
  Speaker 15: Let's hear that worthy song, gentle master, lips of observe.
• 9:20
  Speaker 13: Now if I list, will I.
• 9:23
  Speaker 10: Love no more? Nor long go wait.
• 9:28
  Speaker 18: Upon a gill scen saveveryplace.
• 9:33
  Speaker 13: Now yield o wench everyone will not another. And if
• 9:43
  Speaker 13: what I have heard be true, then young and old
• 9:50
  Speaker 13: and all will how dost thou like this man more?
• 10:00
  Speaker 10: No more?
• 10:01
  Speaker 15: This is the chamber which confines my love. This is
• 10:04
  Speaker 15: the abstract of the spacious world. Within it holds a
• 10:07
  Speaker 15: gem so rich, so rare, that art or nature never
• 10:11
  Speaker 15: yet could set a valued price to unvalued.
• 10:13
  Speaker 13: Worth, unvalued worth. Why she's but a woman, and they
• 10:19
  Speaker 13: are windy turning veins love light as chaff, which when
• 10:24
  Speaker 13: our nourishing grains are winnowed from them, and constantly they
• 10:28
  Speaker 13: fly at the least wind of passium. A woman's eye
• 10:32
  Speaker 13: can turn itself with quick dexterity, and in each wanton
• 10:37
  Speaker 13: glass can comprehend their sundry fancy suited to each friend.
• 10:43
  Speaker 13: Tut Their loves are all compact of levity, even like
• 10:46
  Speaker 13: themselves Nil mulieire leveos tut Man.
• 10:51
  Speaker 17: Everyone knows their worth when they are at a rack,
• 10:54
  Speaker 17: when in the tim time they bear as great a
• 10:57
  Speaker 17: price as when transportations are.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Maria appears above at a window.
• 11:03
  Speaker 15: Peace, that's Johnny the window. And listen if we may.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: Hear her the bard of liberty. Oh, that this flesh could,
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: like swift moving thoughts, transfer itself from place to place,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: unseen and undissolved. Then should no iron ribs or churlish
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: flint divide my love and me, dear Gerardine, despite of
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: chance or Guardian's tyranny. I'd move within thy orb and
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: thou in mine.
• 11:30
  Speaker 13: She'd move within thy orb and thou in hers blood.
• 11:34
  Speaker 13: She talks body to herself. Gudgam stand close, but.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: In vain do I proclaim my grief When air and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: walls can yield me no relief.
• 11:46
  Speaker 17: The walls are the more stony hearted, Then peace God.
• 11:49
  Speaker 13: Gudgeon keepe not so loud.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Come thou, my best companion. Thou art sensible and canst
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: my wrongs? Reiterate thou, and I will make some mirth
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: in spite of tyranny. The black browed Knight, drawn in
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: her pitchy wain, in starry spangled pride, rides Now or heaven.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: Now is the time when stealing minutes tell the stole
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: delight joyed by all faithful lovers. Now, loving souls contrive
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: both place and means for wished pastimes. Only I am
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: pent within the closure of this fatal wall, deprived of
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: all my joys.
• 12:27
  Speaker 15: My dear Maria be comforted in this. The frame of
• 12:31
  Speaker 15: heaven shall sooner cease to move right phoebus esteeds leave
• 12:35
  Speaker 15: the diurnal race, and all that is forsake the natural
• 12:39
  Speaker 15: being here, I forget thy.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Love, Who's that protests so fast?
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Thy ever vowed servant?
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Jeredine, Oh, by your vows, it seems you'd fain, get up, aye.
• 12:52
  Speaker 13: And ride too.
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: I would most loved Maria.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: I knew it, he that too, get up to a
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: fair woman will stick to vow and swear may be accounted.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: No man, but tell me why hast thou chosen this
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: hour to visit me, which nor the day nor night
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: can claim, but both or neither. Why in this twilight
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: camest thou.
• 13:15
  Speaker 15: Devoid suspicious eyes? I come, dear Love, to take my
• 13:19
  Speaker 15: last farewell, fitting this hour, which no bright day will
• 13:23
  Speaker 15: claim nor pitchy night, and our fit depart conjoin souls.
• 13:29
  Speaker 15: Since that my native soil will not have faded my
• 13:31
  Speaker 15: wished and best content, I will forsake it and prove
• 13:35
  Speaker 15: more strange to it than it to me. In times
• 13:38
  Speaker 15: swift course, all things shall find event, be it good
• 13:42
  Speaker 15: or ill, and destinies to grant that most preposterous courses
• 13:47
  Speaker 15: often gain what labor and direct proceedings miss.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: What thou forsake me.
• 13:53
  Speaker 15: Then let first blessed life forsake me. Be thou constant.
• 13:59
  Speaker 15: My absence may procure thy more enlarge.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: And then desire's conceit is quick. I apprehend THEE be
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: thou as loyal as I constant prove, and time shall
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: knit our mutual knot of love. Where this, my love's true.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Pledge throws it down.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: I need not wish I know thou what return, nor
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: will I say thou mayst conceal thyself being returned till
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I may make escape and visit THEE. I prithee, love,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: attempt not to ascend my chamber window by a laddered rope.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: The entrance is too narrow except this post, which may
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: with ease. Yet that is dangerous. I prithee, do it not?
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I hear some call farewell my constant love. Let after actions.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Tell exit above, Oh perfection of women, a plague of
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: such perfection.
• 14:55
  Speaker 15: How she woos my negatives shows.
• 14:59
  Speaker 17: THEE will to do under color of dissuasion.
• 15:02
  Speaker 15: Geez, truly virtuous tut man.
• 15:06
  Speaker 13: Outward appearance is no authentic instance of the inward desires.
• 15:11
  Speaker 13: Women have sharp falcon's eyes and cansore aloft, But keep
• 15:16
  Speaker 13: them like falcons from flesh, and they soon stoop to
• 15:20
  Speaker 13: a gaudy lure.
• 15:22
  Speaker 15: Why then, you know women are admirable angels.
• 15:27
  Speaker 17: But angels make them admirable devils.
• 15:30
  Speaker 15: My love's chaste smile to all the world doth speak
• 15:34
  Speaker 15: as spotless innocence.
• 15:37
  Speaker 13: Women smiles are more of custom than of courtesy. Women
• 15:41
  Speaker 13: are creatures their hearts, and they are full of holes,
• 15:47
  Speaker 13: apt to receive but not retain affection. Thou wilt tomorrow,
• 15:52
  Speaker 13: thou sayest be gone, if thou wilt know the worst
• 15:56
  Speaker 13: of a country's marry before thou goest. For if thou
• 16:01
  Speaker 13: canst endure a cursed wife, never care what company thou
• 16:05
  Speaker 13: comest in.
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: Come, merry glance.
• 16:09
  Speaker 15: Will you assist me to my cousin Purges the apothecaries
• 16:12
  Speaker 15: and take part of my parting feast tonight?
• 16:15
  Speaker 17: Oh, his wife is of the family of love.
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: I'll thither.
• 16:20
  Speaker 17: Perhaps I may prove of the fraternity in time? Will thither?
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: That's flat excellent. Scene three. A room in Purge's house,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: Enter Mistress, Purge.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: What club club is club? Within that?
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: Enter club Mistress?
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I pray, what said master, doctor glister? Will he come?
• 16:44
  Speaker 7: I said word? I would? For I was but to
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: carry a diet to one of his patients? What call
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: you her? She that paints a daytimes and looks fair
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: and fresh on the outside, but in the nighttime is
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: filthier than the inside of a boccadaro, and is indeed
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: far more unsavory to those that know her. Forsooth went
• 17:04
  Speaker 7: he to her. I had a receipt for the grin
• 17:06
  Speaker 7: combs in his hand, and I said I would take
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: that in his way.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: Tis well, And what guest besides him and his wife
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: will be here at supper.
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: So the first in my account is Master Gereddine, your cousin,
• 17:18
  Speaker 7: Master doctor Glister, and his wife, Master dry At, the merchant,
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: Master Lipsal, the courtier, Master gunge In, the gallant, and
• 17:27
  Speaker 7: their pages these I take will be your full number.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: Then, belike, my room shall be stuffed with courtiers and
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: gallants tonight of all men. I love not these gallants.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: They'll prate much, but do little. The old people most uncertain.
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: They use great words, but little sense, great beards but
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: little wit, great breeches.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: But no money.
• 17:50
  Speaker 7: That was the last thing they swore away.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Be like they cannot fetch it again with swearing, for
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: if they could, there's not a page of theirs, but
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: would be as rich as a monarch.
• 17:59
  Speaker 7: There is nothing, mistress, that is sworn out of date
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: their returns. Their first oath in times past was by
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: the mass, and that they have sworn quite away. Then
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: came they to their faith, as by my faith tis soul,
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: that in a short time was sworn away too, for
• 18:18
  Speaker 7: no man believes now more than a sea's. Then they
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: swore by their honesties, and that mistress, you know, is
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: sworn quite away. After their honesties was gone, then they
• 18:31
  Speaker 7: came to their dentility and swore as they were gentlemen,
• 18:35
  Speaker 7: And their gentility they swore away so fast that they
• 18:39
  Speaker 7: had almost sworn away all the ancient gentry out of
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: the land, which indeed are scarce. Misst for that yeomen
• 18:46
  Speaker 7: and father's sons, with the help of a few Welshmen,
• 18:49
  Speaker 7: have undertook to supply their places. That at the last
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: they came to silver, and their oath was by the
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: cross of this silver, and swore so fast upon them
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: that that now they have scarce left them across for
• 19:03
  Speaker 7: to swearby.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: And what did they swear by? Now their money is gone?
• 19:06
  Speaker 7: Why buy blank? And God refuses them?
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: And can they not as well, say men refuse them
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: as God refuse them.
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: No mistress, for men especially citizens and rich men have
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: refused their bonds and protestations already interpurge.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Tis well see how s uper goes forward, and that
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: my shoes be very well blacked against. I go to the.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: Family exit club.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Now, sweet chick, where hast thou been in troth l
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: I am not well. I have thought to have spent
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: the morning at the family. But now I am resolved
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: to take pills. And therefore I pray thee desire Doctor Glister,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: that he would minister to me in the morning.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Thy will is known, and this for answers say tis
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: fit that wise men should their wives obey. And now
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: sweet duck, no, I have been for my cousin Gerardine's
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: will and have it. He has given the a legacy.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: But the total is Maria's.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Enter glister, missus guister, and dryfat.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Master Doctor, your wife and Master Dreyfer are most welcome.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Now were my cousin Gerardine and Master lipsalve here our
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: number were complete?
• 20:32
  Speaker 10: Is this tactic will done? Will Master Jaredine to see?
• 20:36
  Speaker 10: Let me tell you, I am no whit sorry that
• 20:38
  Speaker 10: such as will be headstrong bite on the bridle.
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: Tis here, Master doctor, all is worth his Maria's and
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: locked in a trunk, which by tomorrow's sun shall be
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: delivered to your custody.
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: ME thinks to a reasonable match to bestow your niece
• 20:56
  Speaker 6: on Master Jaredine. He is a most hopeful gentleman, and
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: his revenue such that having your nieces portioned to clear
• 21:04
  Speaker 6: it of all encumbrances will maintain them both in a
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: very worthy degree.
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: Tut you are Master dry Fat the merchant. Your skill
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: is greater in coney skins and wolfpacks than in gentlemen.
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: His lands be in statutes. You merchants were wont to
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: be merchants staplers, But now gentlemen have gotten up the trade.
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: For there is not one gentleman amongst twenty but his
• 21:25
  Speaker 10: land be engaged in twenty statute staple.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Entry, wepsov Jerardine and Gudchin.
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: Let every man his humor have I do well none ripine.
• 21:41
  Speaker 18: I never regard who's wenshi kiss, nor who doth the
• 21:46
  Speaker 18: like by mine the indifferent minds I hold still best.
• 21:52
  Speaker 18: Whatever does befool, for she that will do with me,
• 22:00
  Speaker 18: and thee will be a wench fool.
• 22:05
  Speaker 13: And how goes the squares.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: Your stage, gentlemen does wrong to a great many good stomachs.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: Your suppers expect you, and we are suppers.
• 22:18
  Speaker 10: And from what good exercise come you three?
• 22:21
  Speaker 5: From a play?
• 22:22
  Speaker 15: Were we some most excellent Samson exel the whole world?
• 22:26
  Speaker 5: And gate carrying?
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: Was it performed by the youths?
• 22:30
  Speaker 13: By youths? Why I tell thee we saw Samson, and
• 22:34
  Speaker 13: I hope it is not for youths to play Samson.
• 22:38
  Speaker 13: Believe it, we saw Samson bear the town gates on
• 22:41
  Speaker 13: his neck from the lower to the upper stage, with
• 22:44
  Speaker 13: that life and admirable accord that it shall never be
• 22:49
  Speaker 13: equalled unless the whole new livery of porters set their shoulders.
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: Fye, fye tis pity. Young gentlemen can bestow their time
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: no better. This pray is not lawful, for I cannot
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: find that either plays or players were allowed in the
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: prime charge of Esus by the elders.
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: Ah, I think she diggled you there, cousin jereddine. Shall
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: the will be read before supper?
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: Before supper?
• 23:16
  Speaker 13: I beseech you, aye, aye, before supper aside, for when
• 23:22
  Speaker 13: these women's bellies be full, their tongues will be soon
• 23:27
  Speaker 13: at rest.
• 23:29
  Speaker 6: Well, master doctor, pity the state of a poor gentleman,
• 23:34
  Speaker 6: it is in you to stay his journey and make
• 23:37
  Speaker 6: him and yourself happy in his choice.
• 23:40
  Speaker 10: Hold you content, shall this will be read?
• 23:43
  Speaker 13: It shall read you, good monster, Lipsel, command silence, then.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: Silence, lipsolve reading the will.
• 23:54
  Speaker 13: In the name of God. Are men know? All men
• 23:58
  Speaker 13: by these presents that I geredine being strong of body
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: and perfect incense.
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: That's false. There's no lover in his perfect sense.
• 24:08
  Speaker 13: Peace drive that do give and grant to Maria Glister,
• 24:13
  Speaker 13: daughter of John Glister and niece to Doctor Glister, physician,
• 24:18
  Speaker 13: all my leases, lands, chattels, goods and movables whatsoever. Well,
• 24:25
  Speaker 13: this is stark. No, you cannot give away your movables,
• 24:29
  Speaker 13: for Mistress Doctor and Mistress Purge claim both shares in
• 24:33
  Speaker 13: your movables by reason of their legacies.
• 24:36
  Speaker 6: That's true. For their legacies must go out of your movables.
• 24:41
  Speaker 13: I'll put it in all my movables, these following legacies
• 24:48
  Speaker 13: being paid.
• 24:50
  Speaker 15: Do so, good Master Lipsov whipsol.
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: After rating it is done, I pray read only the
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: legacies for Supper stays well.
• 25:01
  Speaker 13: The legacies reads first. I give to my cousin, Mistress Purge,
• 25:07
  Speaker 13: a fair large standing. What's this, oh cup, a fair
• 25:14
  Speaker 13: large standing cup with a close stool. Is not so?
• 25:20
  Speaker 13: Tis not so? I cry you, mercy, a close cover
• 25:24
  Speaker 13: tis reads to mistress Doctor, I give a fair bodkin
• 25:29
  Speaker 13: of gold with two orient pearls attending the same, all
• 25:33
  Speaker 13: which are in my trunk, to be delivered to the
• 25:36
  Speaker 13: keeping of Maria in witness, et cetera. Is this your will?
• 25:42
  Speaker 13: Tis to it with your hand and seal.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Jerardine signs and seals the will.
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: How is it, Jack, I must have the standing cup,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: and mistress luster the bodkin.
• 25:55
  Speaker 15: Right, sweet duck, I pray, gentlemen, put to your hands,
• 26:01
  Speaker 15: come your fists.
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: Gentlemen, your fists, Jerardine, while the witnesses assign the will.
• 26:09
  Speaker 15: Mistress Glister, I found you always more flexible to understand
• 26:13
  Speaker 15: the state of a poor gentleman than your husband was willing.
• 26:17
  Speaker 15: Therefore I have thought it a point of charity to
• 26:20
  Speaker 15: reveal the wrongs you sustain by your husband's looseness.
• 26:24
  Speaker 13: Let me tell you in.
• 26:24
  Speaker 15: Private that the doctor cuckles purge oftener than he visits
• 26:28
  Speaker 15: one of his patients. What he spares from you, he
• 26:32
  Speaker 15: spends lavishly on her. These apothecarys are a kind of
• 26:36
  Speaker 15: pandas look to it. If he keep Maria long close,
• 26:41
  Speaker 15: it is for some lascivious end of his own.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: She is his niece.
• 26:46
  Speaker 15: Tat these doctors have tricks. Your niceness is such that
• 26:50
  Speaker 15: you can endure no polluted shoes in your house. Take heed,
• 26:53
  Speaker 15: lest you make you a board before your time, look
• 26:56
  Speaker 15: to it.
• 26:57
  Speaker 13: Come our hands, our testimonies to the follies shalls. Now
• 27:02
  Speaker 13: to supper, we'll have a health. Go round to thy voyage, aye,
• 27:07
  Speaker 13: and to all.
• 27:07
  Speaker 17: The falsewear marriage, and can be content with other men's.
• 27:10
  Speaker 15: Wives, of which consult you to a grounds. One touches
• 27:15
  Speaker 15: the bass, and the other tickles the minnikin. But to
• 27:19
  Speaker 15: aa Chia, come gentle slet's away. The roast meets in
• 27:23
  Speaker 15: consumption by us day excellent.

  Speaker 1: End of Act I, Act two of the Family of
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: Love by Thomas Middleton, Thomas Decker, and Lord Ingberry. This

  Speaker 1: LibriVox dot org. Act two, seene one A room in
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: Purge's house, Enter Purge.
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: The gray eyed morning braves me to my face and
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: calls me sluggard. Tis time for tradesmen to be in
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: their shops. For he that tends well his shop, and
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: hath an alluring wife with a graceful waddy alac shall
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: be sure to have good doings. And good doings is
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: that that crowns so many citizens with the horns of abundance.
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: My wife, by ordinary course, should this morning have been
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: at the family. But now her soft pillow hath given
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: her counsel to keep her bed. Master doctor should indeed
• 28:44
  Speaker 4: minister to her to whose pills she is so much
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: accustomed that now her body looks for them as duly
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: as the moon shakes off the old and borrows new horns.
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: I smile to myself to hear our knights and gallants
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: say how they gull us citizens, when indeed we gull them,
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: or rather they gull themselves. Here they come in term
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: time higher chambers, and perhaps kiss our wives. Well, what
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: lose I by that God's blessing on's heart? I say, still,
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: that makes much of my wife, For they were very
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: hard favored, that none could find in his heart to love.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: For ourselves. Drugs would be dog cheap, but for my private,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: well practiced doctor, and such customers tut. Jealousy is a hell,
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: and they that will thrive must utter their wares as
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: they can, and wink as small faults.
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: Exit scene too, a street and Turguister.
• 29:55
  Speaker 10: The tedious knight is past, and the jocund morn looks
• 29:59
  Speaker 10: more likely in fresh than an old gentlewoman's glazed face
• 30:02
  Speaker 10: in a new periwig. By this time, my humorous lover
• 30:06
  Speaker 10: is at gravesend, and I go with more joy to
• 30:09
  Speaker 10: fetch his trunk than ever the Valan Trojans did to
• 30:12
  Speaker 10: draw in the Grecian jade. His God shall into the
• 30:15
  Speaker 10: walls of my troy, and be offered to a face
• 30:18
  Speaker 10: more lovely than ever was that Thrice ravished Helen, yet
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: with such caution that no danger shall happen to me.
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: Exit Scene three, Another street entry, whipsov and Shrimp meeting
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Gudjin and periwinkle master lips up.
• 30:37
  Speaker 17: Welcome within ken. We two are so needly linked that
• 30:41
  Speaker 17: if thou beest absent but one two hours, thy acquaintance
• 30:45
  Speaker 17: grows almost mold in my memory, and.
• 30:47
  Speaker 13: Thine fly blown in mine. How dost thou.
• 30:51
  Speaker 8: Do, fellow page? I think our acquaintance runs low, too,
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: But if it's run not or the leads. Let's set
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: it a tilt and give them some dregs to their moldy,
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: fly blown compliments.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: No, rather, let's.
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: Pierce the rundlets are our running heads, and give them
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: a neat cup of wagship to put down their cordship, courtship, cartship,
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: for the tongues of complimenters run on wheels. But Markham,
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: they have not done yet.
• 31:29
  Speaker 17: And if faith Howard methinks thou hast been a long vagrant.
• 31:33
  Speaker 13: The regation hath been long. Indeed, therefore we may salute
• 31:38
  Speaker 13: as ceremoniously as lawyers when they meet after a long vacation,
• 31:42
  Speaker 13: who to renew the discontinued state tail. They stretch it
• 31:47
  Speaker 13: out with such length that, whilst they greet before their clients,
• 31:52
  Speaker 13: kiss them behind.
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: If his nose were put in the remainder of that
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: state tail, he would say, and then save everyone.
• 32:02
  Speaker 19: I wonder why I'm many men good?
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: So after the law, I'll tell thee, because they themselves
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: have neither law or conscience.
• 32:13
  Speaker 17: But what news now? How stands the state of things
• 32:16
  Speaker 17: at Brussels?
• 32:18
  Speaker 13: Faith weakened, limber, weakened limber, nothing but pride and double dealing.
• 32:24
  Speaker 13: Virtue is vices. Lackey beggars suck like horse leeches at
• 32:29
  Speaker 13: the heart of bounty, and leave him so tired and
• 32:32
  Speaker 13: spur gold that he can be no longer ridden with honesty.
• 32:37
  Speaker 17: Welfare the city. Yet their virtue rides of cock horse
• 32:41
  Speaker 17: cherished and kept warm, and good tables and fox fur,
• 32:44
  Speaker 17: and with the breath of his nostrils drives pride and
• 32:47
  Speaker 17: covetousness before him like owns shadow beggars of whipping cheer.
• 32:52
  Speaker 17: Bounty obliges men to it, and liberality gives money for
• 32:56
  Speaker 17: scripts and scrolls sealed with strong arms and heraldry to
• 33:00
  Speaker 17: outlive mortality.
• 33:02
  Speaker 10: Love.
• 33:03
  Speaker 17: There we'll see the last man born, never give over
• 33:06
  Speaker 17: while there's an arrow at the quiver.
• 33:08
  Speaker 13: Now we talk of love, I do know not far
• 33:11
  Speaker 13: hence so good a subject for that humor, that if
• 33:14
  Speaker 13: she would wear but the standing collar and her things
• 33:17
  Speaker 13: in fashion, our ladies in the court were but brown
• 33:21
  Speaker 13: sugar candy as gros grocery to her, she's.
• 33:26
  Speaker 17: Not so sweet as apothecy shop.
• 33:29
  Speaker 13: Is she a plague on you? Are you so good?
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: A cent aside for my life?
• 33:37
  Speaker 13: He's my rival?
• 33:38
  Speaker 17: Her name begins with mistress purge.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Does it not true?
• 33:44
  Speaker 13: The only comet of the city.
• 33:46
  Speaker 17: Ay, if she would let her rough stream out a
• 33:49
  Speaker 17: little wider. But I'm sure she is ominous to me
• 33:52
  Speaker 17: if she makes civil wars and insurrections. In the state
• 33:56
  Speaker 17: of my stomach, I had thought to have bound myself
• 33:59
  Speaker 17: from love, and her purging confits makes me loose bodied.
• 34:03
  Speaker 13: Still, what has she ministered to thee?
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: Then?
• 34:07
  Speaker 17: Faithsome lectury? Also, Aye, I.
• 34:09
  Speaker 13: Fear she takes too much of that lectury to stoop
• 34:13
  Speaker 13: to love. It keeps her body soluble from sin. She
• 34:17
  Speaker 13: is not troubled with carnal crudities nor the binding of
• 34:21
  Speaker 13: the flesh.
• 34:22
  Speaker 17: Thou hast sounded her, then, belike.
• 34:25
  Speaker 13: Not I I am too shallow to sound her. She's
• 34:29
  Speaker 13: out of my element. If I show passion and discourse
• 34:33
  Speaker 13: of love to her, she tells me, I am wide
• 34:36
  Speaker 13: from the right scope. She says she has another object
• 34:39
  Speaker 13: and aims at a better love than mine.
• 34:42
  Speaker 17: Oh that's her husband.
• 34:45
  Speaker 13: No, No, she speaks pure devotion. She's impenetrable. No gold
• 34:51
  Speaker 13: or oratory, no virtue in herbs, nor no physic will
• 34:55
  Speaker 13: make her love more.
• 34:57
  Speaker 17: Is the pity I say that fair women should prove
• 34:59
  Speaker 17: so saints before.
• 35:00
  Speaker 1: Age had made them crooked aside.
• 35:03
  Speaker 17: Tis my luck to be crossed still, But I must
• 35:06
  Speaker 17: not give over the chase.
• 35:08
  Speaker 13: Come hither, boy, while I think.
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: On wepsolv talks apart to Shrimp faith, friend Lipsalve, I
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: perceive you would fain play with my love, the pure
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: creature t is for whom I have sought at every
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: angle of my brain.
• 35:24
  Speaker 17: But either she schools courtiers, as most of them do
• 35:27
  Speaker 17: because they are given to boast of their doings, or
• 35:30
  Speaker 17: else she's exceeding straight laced. Therefore, to prevent this smell,
• 35:35
  Speaker 17: smock ah to my friend Dr Blister, a man exquisite
• 35:41
  Speaker 17: in the art magic, who has told me of many
• 35:44
  Speaker 17: rare experiments available in this case, farewell, friend Lipsalve.
• 35:50
  Speaker 13: Adjieu, honest Gregory, frequent my lodging. I have a the
• 35:54
  Speaker 13: old gambo and good tobacco.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: Exit Gudjin and periwinkle.
• 36:00
  Speaker 9: Thou wilt do this feet boy, else knock my head
• 36:04
  Speaker 9: on my paint together.
• 36:06
  Speaker 13: Away, then bid him bring his measure with him.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: Exit Shrimp Geraldine.
• 36:12
  Speaker 13: Is traveled, and I must be cast into his mold.
• 36:16
  Speaker 13: My flesh grows proud, and Maria's a sweet wench et cetera.
• 36:22
  Speaker 13: But yet I must not let fall my suit with
• 36:25
  Speaker 13: Mistress perch Lest sayed vacante. My friend Gudgeon join issue.
• 36:33
  Speaker 13: I'd rather do my learned doctor for a spell, for
• 36:36
  Speaker 13: I have a fire.
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: In my liver burns like hell.
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: Exit Scene four. A room in Guister's house. Enter Mistress,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: Guster and Maria.
• 36:49
  Speaker 11: I pray, let's have no polluted feet, nor rheumatic chaps
• 36:53
  Speaker 11: enter the house. I shall have my floor look more
• 36:55
  Speaker 11: greasy shortly than one of you in of court dining tables.
• 36:59
  Speaker 11: And how to you, goodness, I bend my speech. Let
• 37:03
  Speaker 11: me tell you plainly, you are a fool to be
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: love sick for any man longer than he is in
• 37:07
  Speaker 11: your company? Are you so ignorant in the rules of
• 37:10
  Speaker 11: courtship to think any one meant to bear all the
• 37:13
  Speaker 11: prick and praise? I tell thee be he never so proper?
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: There is another to second him.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Let rules of courtship be authentic still to such as
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: do pursue variety. But unto those whose modest thoughts do
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: tend to honored nuptials and a regular life. As far
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: from show of niceness as from that of impure thoughts,
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: all other objects seem of no proportion balanced with esteem
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: of what their souls affect.
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: No marveled, sure you should regard these men with such
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: reverend opinion. There's few good faces and fewer graces in
• 37:50
  Speaker 11: any of them. If one among a multitude have a
• 37:53
  Speaker 11: good pair of legs, he never leaves riding the ring
• 37:56
  Speaker 11: till he has quite marred the proportion. Nays as I
• 38:00
  Speaker 11: have heard, wanting lineaments to their liking and calf to
• 38:04
  Speaker 11: support themselves, are fain to use art and supply themselves
• 38:09
  Speaker 11: with quilted clves, which oftentimes in reveling, fall about their ankles,
• 38:14
  Speaker 11: and for their behavior, wit and discourse. Except some few
• 38:18
  Speaker 11: that are traveled, it is as imperfectious and silly as
• 38:22
  Speaker 11: your scholars new come from the university by dislight. I
• 38:26
  Speaker 11: think we lose part of our happiness when we make
• 38:29
  Speaker 11: these weather cocks.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: Our equals disgrace, not that for which our sect was made.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Society and nuptials Above these joys which lovers taste when
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: their conjoined lips suck forth each other's souls. The earth,
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: the air, yea, gods themselves know none Elysium's sweet eye.
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: All that bliss which poets pens describe are only known
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: when soft and amorous folds entwine. The core of two
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: united lovers were what they wish they have. Yet still
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: desire and sweet are known without satiety.
• 39:08
  Speaker 12: Enter Vile, here's club forsooth, and his fellow apprentice have
• 39:13
  Speaker 12: brought Master Jerdine's trunk.
• 39:16
  Speaker 11: Let them come in if their feet be clean, Exit vile.
• 39:22
  Speaker 11: So then your best beloved is gone, fair weather after him,
• 39:27
  Speaker 11: all thy passions go with him. Recomfort thyself. When in
• 39:31
  Speaker 11: a better choice, his love to thee would have been
• 39:35
  Speaker 11: of no longer continuance than the untrussing of his hose.
• 39:38
  Speaker 11: Then why shouldst thou pine for such a one?
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: Maria aside?
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: She's fullish, sure with what imperfect phrase and shallow wit
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: she answers me.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Enter club, and another apprentice with a trunk.
• 39:55
  Speaker 11: Honest Club, Welcome, is this Master Geredine's trunk? He is gone?
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: Then, I indeed, Mistress Gloucester, he is de part of
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: this transitory city. But his whole substance is here enclosed,
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: which by command we here deliver to your custody, to
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: the use of Mistress Maria, according to the tenor of
• 40:16
  Speaker 7: the premises.
• 40:18
  Speaker 11: Please it here, my honest club. Well done, and how
• 40:21
  Speaker 11: does thy mistress. Was she at the family to day club?
• 40:26
  Speaker 9: Spits speak, not good club.
• 40:30
  Speaker 11: I cannot abide it, not.
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: To day, forsooth she hath overcharged herself and her memory.
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: She means to use a moderation and take no more
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: than she can make use of.
• 40:42
  Speaker 11: And I prithy club? What kind of creatures are these feminists?
• 40:47
  Speaker 11: Thou art conversant with them?
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: What are they?
• 40:51
  Speaker 10: With reverence?
• 40:52
  Speaker 7: Be it spoken? They are the most accomplished creatures under heaven.
• 40:56
  Speaker 7: In them is all perfection as good club, omitting their
• 41:02
  Speaker 7: outward graces. I'll show you only one instance, which includes
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: all others. They love their neighbors better than themselves.
• 41:10
  Speaker 11: Not than themselves club, yes.
• 41:14
  Speaker 7: Better than themselves, for they love them better than their husbands,
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: and husband and wife are all one, therefore better than themselves.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: This is logic.
• 41:25
  Speaker 11: But tell me, does she not endeavor to bring my
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: doctor of her side and fraternity?
• 41:31
  Speaker 7: Let him resolve that for himself, For here he comes.
• 41:35
  Speaker 10: Interquistor, Oh hast thou brought the trunk honest club. I
• 41:40
  Speaker 10: commend thy honest care. Here's for thy pains giving money.
• 41:45
  Speaker 7: I thank you, master doctor. You are free and liberals.
• 41:49
  Speaker 7: Still you'll command me nothing back nothing but commendations.
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: Farewell, excillent club and apprentice.
• 41:58
  Speaker 10: Your sweetheart Jardine is by this time called of his
• 42:02
  Speaker 10: hope to enjoy thee. He's gone, and a more equal
• 42:04
  Speaker 10: than able husband. Shall my care ere long provide thee?
• 42:08
  Speaker 10: What clients have been here in my absence, wife.
• 42:11
  Speaker 11: Faith Mouse, None that I know more than an old
• 42:14
  Speaker 11: woman that had lost her cat and came to you
• 42:17
  Speaker 11: for a spell in the recovery.
• 42:20
  Speaker 10: I think egregious ignorance will go near to save this age.
• 42:24
  Speaker 10: Their blindness takes me for a conjurer. Yesterday a justice
• 42:27
  Speaker 10: of peace salutes me with a proffer of a brace
• 42:29
  Speaker 10: of angels to help him to his footcloth some three
• 42:32
  Speaker 10: days before stolen and was fain to use his man's
• 42:35
  Speaker 10: cloak instead.
• 42:36
  Speaker 12: Ont re entervile, here's a gentleman curved speech with you, sir.
• 42:43
  Speaker 10: Go in, sweet wife, and give my niece.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Good counsel, excellent mistress Gloucester and Maria his name.
• 42:51
  Speaker 12: He will not tell it to me. His countenance I
• 42:55
  Speaker 12: can see nothing but his eyes. The rest of him
• 42:58
  Speaker 12: is so robbed in cloak that it suffers no view.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Admit him exit vile. What should he be for a
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: man into your lipsoal.
• 43:10
  Speaker 10: What master lipsofs to you? Why thus obscured? What discontent
• 43:14
  Speaker 10: overshadows you?
• 43:16
  Speaker 13: Discontent? Indeed, master doctor, which to shake off? I must
• 43:20
  Speaker 13: have you extend your art to the utmost bounds. You
• 43:24
  Speaker 13: physicians are as good as false doors behind hangings to
• 43:28
  Speaker 13: ladies necessary uses. You know the very hour in which
• 43:32
  Speaker 13: they have neither will to deny nor wit to mistrust faith. Now,
• 43:38
  Speaker 13: by the way, when are women most apt?
• 43:41
  Speaker 10: Shall I unbutton myself to you after the receipt of
• 43:44
  Speaker 10: a purgation? For then are their pores most open? But
• 43:48
  Speaker 10: what creature of a quarter is it? Have drawn your
• 43:51
  Speaker 10: head into the woodcock's noose a courtier?
• 43:54
  Speaker 13: Nay, by this flesh, I am clean and fallen out
• 43:57
  Speaker 13: with them? They have nothing proportionable.
• 44:01
  Speaker 10: Oh I perceive, then tis some city star that attracts
• 44:04
  Speaker 10: your aspect.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Lipsov aside he knows by his art.
• 44:11
  Speaker 13: In plain terms, a certain apothecary's wife.
• 44:15
  Speaker 10: Upon my life, Master purges, I smell you, sir.
• 44:19
  Speaker 13: You may smell a man after a purgation. Indeed, sir,
• 44:22
  Speaker 13: tis she now for that fame hath bruited you to
• 44:27
  Speaker 13: be a man expert in necromancy. I would endear myself
• 44:31
  Speaker 13: to you forever. Would you vouchsafe to let one of
• 44:33
  Speaker 13: your spirits bring Mistress Purge into some convenient place where
• 44:40
  Speaker 13: I might enjoy her.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: I have heard of the like.
• 44:44
  Speaker 10: Can you perform this with much facility? I assure you.
• 44:48
  Speaker 10: But you must understand that the apparition of a spirit
• 44:51
  Speaker 10: is dreadful, and with all coverages, and with no small
• 44:54
  Speaker 10: sum of gold higher.
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: To such feats reintervile, sir.
• 45:00
  Speaker 12: Here's another gentleman, muffled too, that desire's present conference with you.
• 45:06
  Speaker 10: Walk you into that room. I will bethink myself for
• 45:08
  Speaker 10: your good and instantly resolve you.
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: Exit lipsolve.
• 45:13
  Speaker 10: Let the gentleman come in, Exit vile lipsol. In love
• 45:19
  Speaker 10: with my vessel of ease, come to me to help
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: him to a morsel most affected by mine own palate
• 45:25
  Speaker 10: no more, but so I have shaped it the conceit
• 45:28
  Speaker 10: tickles me. Enter Gudjon, sir, as a stranger, I welcome you. What,
• 45:35
  Speaker 10: master gudgeon, have I caught you? I thought it was
• 45:38
  Speaker 10: a gallant that walked muffled. Come let me behold you
• 45:42
  Speaker 10: at full Here are no sergeant's man.
• 45:45
  Speaker 17: Master doctor, This my obscure coming requires in action more obscure,
• 45:50
  Speaker 17: and in brief this TI is, sir, you are held
• 45:54
  Speaker 17: a man far seene in nature's secrets. I know you
• 45:57
  Speaker 17: can affect many things almost impossible. No, then, I love
• 46:02
  Speaker 17: Mistress Purge, and opportunity favors me not nor indeed is
• 46:07
  Speaker 17: she so dractable as I expected? If either by medicine
• 46:10
  Speaker 17: or your art magical, you can work her to my will?
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: I have a poor gallance reward, Sir Guster aside, that's
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: just nothing.
• 46:22
  Speaker 10: But how sir, would you have me to procure you
• 46:25
  Speaker 10: access to Mistress Purge? You never knew a physician aboard?
• 46:29
  Speaker 17: Why by conjuration I tell you wherein you are said
• 46:32
  Speaker 17: to be as well practiced as in physic He is
• 46:35
  Speaker 17: the best part of my present store to affect it.
• 46:39
  Speaker 10: Giving money, not a penny for myself, but my spirits.
• 46:43
  Speaker 10: Indeed they must be fed. Walk you by here while
• 46:47
  Speaker 10: I think upon a spell.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Gudjin retires.
• 46:50
  Speaker 10: What mystery should this be? Lipsov and Gudgeon both in
• 46:54
  Speaker 10: love with Mistress Purge, and come to me to help
• 46:57
  Speaker 10: him by art magic? Some gallery sh or yet of
• 47:01
  Speaker 10: my invention? Hold, I'll fit them. Who's within there? Enter servant,
• 47:07
  Speaker 10: fetch me in all good haste, two good whips. I
• 47:10
  Speaker 10: think you may have them not far.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Hence, exit Servant Gucester aside.
• 47:17
  Speaker 10: It shall be so. Now tell me, Master Gudgeon, does
• 47:21
  Speaker 10: no man know of your love to Mistress Purge?
• 47:25
  Speaker 17: Not a man by my gentry?
• 47:28
  Speaker 10: Then, sir, no, I'll effect it, but understand withal the
• 47:31
  Speaker 10: apparition will be most horrid if it appear in its
• 47:34
  Speaker 10: proper form, and will so amaze and dull your senses
• 47:38
  Speaker 10: that your appetite will be lost and weak. Though Mistress
• 47:41
  Speaker 10: Purge should attend it naked. Now, sir, could you name
• 47:44
  Speaker 10: a friend with whom you are most conversant? In his likeness?
• 47:48
  Speaker 10: Should the spirit appear.
• 47:50
  Speaker 17: Of all men living? My conversation is most frequent with
• 47:53
  Speaker 17: Lipsal of the courtier.
• 47:55
  Speaker 10: Tis enough, I'll to my spirit.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Gudjin returned, and Glister writes a few.
• 48:02
  Speaker 10: Words, are these whips? Come there?
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: Enter Servant with whips ready here, sir, Exit Gucester aside.
• 48:14
  Speaker 10: So lie thou there, my noble gallants. I'll so ferk you, sir.
• 48:21
  Speaker 10: My spirit agrees in Lipsalv's shape. Tomorrow, TwixT the hours
• 48:25
  Speaker 10: of four and five, shall Mistress Purge be wrapped with
• 48:29
  Speaker 10: a whirlwind into Lipsalv's chamber. That's the fittest place. For
• 48:33
  Speaker 10: by the break of day, lipsalf shall be mounted and
• 48:35
  Speaker 10: forsake the city for three days. So my spirit resolves
• 48:38
  Speaker 10: me now, Sir, by my art, at that very hour,
• 48:41
  Speaker 10: shall his chamber door fly open, into which boldly enter
• 48:45
  Speaker 10: in this sort accoutred. Put me on a pure, clean shirt.
• 48:49
  Speaker 10: Leave off your doublet for spirits in daw nothing polluted.
• 48:52
  Speaker 10: Take me this whip in your hand, and being entered,
• 48:56
  Speaker 10: you shall see the spirit in Lipsalv's shape in the
• 48:58
  Speaker 10: self same form. Let you appear, speak these words here
• 49:03
  Speaker 10: ready written, giving a paper, take three ball steps forward,
• 49:08
  Speaker 10: then whip him soundly, who straight vanishes and leaves. Mistress
• 49:12
  Speaker 10: purge to your will.
• 49:15
  Speaker 17: Hi, but shall little spirit come armed.
• 49:17
  Speaker 10: With whip two, he shall have no power to strike?
• 49:22
  Speaker 17: Is this infallible? Have you seen the proof?
• 49:24
  Speaker 10: Pro bottom upon my word? I have seen the experience.
• 49:28
  Speaker 10: If it fail, say I am a fool and no magician.
• 49:32
  Speaker 17: Master doctor. I would you had some suited chord, either
• 49:36
  Speaker 17: faith of a courtier, I would beg it for you.
• 49:40
  Speaker 17: Fare you well, sir.
• 49:41
  Speaker 10: I shall report of you as I find your charm
• 49:44
  Speaker 10: and no otherwise, sir, let me understand.
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: How you thrive Exit gudjin Ha.
• 49:52
  Speaker 10: Now to my friend lip Salt, I must possess him
• 49:55
  Speaker 10: with the same circumstance, wherein I am assured to get
• 49:59
  Speaker 10: perpetual laughter in their follies and my revenge.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: Exit re enter Maria, Oh.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Which way shall I turn or shift or go to lose?
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: One thought of care, no soothing hope gives intermission, or
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: beguiles one hour of tedious time which never will have end,
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: whilst love pursues in vain my absent friend, Thou continent
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: of wealth, whose want of store for that it could
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: not please the unequal scale of avarest, givest matter to
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: my moan, O dross the level of insatiate eyes, the
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: devil's engine and the soul's corruptor. Thou playest the attorney
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: against the lawful force of true affection. Dost interpose a
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: bar TwixT hearts conjoined cursed be thy seeds of strife,
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: whose progress chokes the natural course of life.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: Gerardine rises out of the trunk, while Maria retreats in alarm.
• 51:01
  Speaker 15: Oh, help help help stay sweet Maria. I bring thee
• 51:06
  Speaker 15: ample joy to check that sudden fear, Let thy sweetheart,
• 51:10
  Speaker 15: that constant seat of thy affection repay that blood exhausted
• 51:15
  Speaker 15: from thy veins. I fear not, sweet Wench, I have
• 51:19
  Speaker 15: no apparition, but the firm substance of thy truest friend.
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: Knowst thou me now.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: Oh geredine my love? What unheard of accident presents thy
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: unexpected self and gives my heart matter of joy mixed
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: with astonishment. I thought thou hadst been cabined in thy ship,
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: not trunked within my cruel guardian's house.
• 51:41
  Speaker 15: That cruelty gives you to desire for love suppressed fears
• 51:45
  Speaker 15: like a raging fire which burns all obstacles, stop his
• 51:49
  Speaker 15: course and mounts aloft the ocean, and his source may
• 51:53
  Speaker 15: easier hide himself and be confined. Then love can be obscured.
• 51:57
  Speaker 15: For in the mind she holds a seat, and that
• 52:00
  Speaker 15: heavenly essence is near. When far remote, her virtual presence
• 52:04
  Speaker 15: feels like the air all places, gives delight, hope, and
• 52:09
  Speaker 15: despair and heart against fell. Despite that worst of men,
• 52:14
  Speaker 15: thy cruel guardian may keep down awhile, but cannot dissipate
• 52:18
  Speaker 15: what heaven hath joined for fate and providence gave me
• 52:22
  Speaker 15: this stratagem to let him know that love will creep
• 52:25
  Speaker 15: where tis restrained to go.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: I apprehend the rest o rare conceit. I see thy
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: travel happily was feigned to win access which with small
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: ease thou hast gained. This trunk, which he so greedily
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: supposes contains thy substance, as it doth indeed upon thy
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: fair pretense in lieu of love, bequeathed to me. If
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: death should stop the course this trunk, I say he
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: hugs sink thou or swim, so he may feed his wolf,
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: that root of sin, his avarice. But heaven that marks
• 52:59
  Speaker 2: man might gives this close means to insist upon our.
• 53:04
  Speaker 15: Right ingenious spirit, true oracle of love, thou hast prevented me.
• 53:09
  Speaker 15: This was my plot, whose end and scope I long
• 53:12
  Speaker 15: to imitate, with accents, free and uncontrolled, with fear. Does
• 53:17
  Speaker 15: opportunity stand fair?
• 53:19
  Speaker 18: Not?
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: Now danger stands sentinel.
• 53:22
  Speaker 15: Then I'll retire. We must be cautless.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: He goes again into the trunk, so.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: So and time shall not off turn his hour glass air.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: I'll find place an occasion fitting to thy mind.
• 53:36
  Speaker 1: Exit end of Act two, Act three of the Family
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: of Love by Thomas Middleton, Thomas Decker, and Lord Ingberry.
• 53:52
  Speaker 1: This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: the public domain. For more information or to volunteer, please
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: visit LibriVox dot org. Act three, Scene one, Maria's apartment.
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: Enter Jerodine and Maria.
• 54:12
  Speaker 15: The coast is clear, and Argus's wakeful eyes securely sleep
• 54:17
  Speaker 15: time turns to us his front. Come, sweet Maria of
• 54:21
  Speaker 15: the auspicious hours.
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: Let's take advantage with all my heart.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: I do embrace the motion with thyself. Welcome, sweet friend,
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: to liberty of air, which now methinks doth prompt our
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: breaths to move, sweet accents of delight, the joys of love.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: How dost thou brook thy little ease thy trunk?
• 54:40
  Speaker 15: That trunk confines his chest. This chest contains the unbounded
• 54:44
  Speaker 15: speculation of our love, incomprehensible grief, joy, hope, and fears,
• 54:49
  Speaker 15: the affections of my mind. I like these fears, which,
• 54:53
  Speaker 15: in their jarring motions do agree through the influence of
• 54:57
  Speaker 15: love's sweet harmony.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: Are what inferior bodies here on earth, produced and governed
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: by those heavenly ones.
• 55:04
  Speaker 5: They are?
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: They jar you say, yet in that strife maintain perpetual league.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: Why should their influence in rational souls be checked by
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: erring sense? Or why should mutual love confirmed by heaven
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: be infringed by men? Methinks tis most uneven.
• 55:22
  Speaker 15: Thou arguest well, Maria, And this withal that brutes nor
• 55:26
  Speaker 15: animals do prove a thrall to such civility. Sos that
• 55:30
  Speaker 15: are words to goad opinion or the undue regards of
• 55:34
  Speaker 15: broken men. Wolves that in sheepskin bands prey on the
• 55:38
  Speaker 15: hearts to join the unwilling hands, ruin fair stocks when
• 55:43
  Speaker 15: generous houses die or propagate their name with bastity.
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: Sterility and barrenness ensue such forced love. Nor shall erroneous
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: men pervert my settled thoughts, or turn mine eye from
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: thy fair object, which I will pursue, rich and I love.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: Proud of this interview, I'll suck these accents.
• 56:04
  Speaker 15: Let our breaths and gender generation of such pleasing sounds
• 56:08
  Speaker 15: to interchange delights. Oh, my blood's on fire. Sweet, Let
• 56:13
  Speaker 15: me give more scope to true desire.
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: What wouldst thou more than our minds?
• 56:18
  Speaker 5: Firm contract cut words are wind thought, unreduct to act
• 56:24
  Speaker 5: is but an embryon in the truth sense.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: I am beleaguered, I had need of sense. You make
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: me blush, play fair, yet above board.
• 56:34
  Speaker 15: Hear me exemplify Love's Latin word together with thyself as
• 56:38
  Speaker 15: thus hearts joined and more take a from thence then

  Speaker 7: I then that does all the drudgery in your house?
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 3: Thout born to it? Why boy, I can show thy indentures.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: Thou givest snow more the milk. We know how to
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: use all in their kind.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 7: You are my better in bark and rhine, But in
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 7: pith and substance I may compare with you. You're above
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 7: me in flesh, Mistress, and there's your boast. But in
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 7: my other part we are all one before God, enter dryfat.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: All one with me.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 3: Dost thou swear too? Why then up and ride.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 6: Whither away, Mistress poge to the.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Family, Master dreyfort to our exercise. What by night, oh lord,
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: I sir, with the candles out too? We fructify best
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: in the dark. The glance of the eye is a
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: great matter. It leads us to other objects besides the right.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 6: Indeed, I think we perform those functions best when we
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 6: are not thralled to the fetters of the body. Of
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 6: the body. What call you them the organs of the body?
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 6: Is sam term them.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: Organs fie fie. They have a most bond law squeaking
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: sound in mine ears, yet are fine not a wit.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: I detest them. I hope my body has no organs.
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 6: To speak more familiarly, Mistress Purge. They are the senses,
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 6: the sight, hearing, smelling, taste, and feeling.
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: I marry, marry, said, I Lord, what a words that
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: in my mouth? You speak now, Master Dreyford. But yet
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 3: let me tell you where you are too. This feeling
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: I will prove to be neither organ nor fatter. It
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 3: is a thing, a sense.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 6: Did you call it?
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 10: Hi?
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 6: A sense?
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: Why then?
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 6: A sense?
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 10: Let it be?
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: I say it is that we cannot be without, For
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: as I take it, it is a part belonging to understanding.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: Understanding lifted up the mind from earth. If the mind
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 3: be left up, you know the body goes with it.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: Also it descends into the conscience, and that tickles us
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 3: with our works and doings, so that we make singular.
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 6: Use of feeling, and not of the wrist, not of
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 6: that time.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: Therefore we hold it not amiss to put out the
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: candles for the soul seas burst in the dark.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 6: You come to me, now, Mistress Purge.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: Enter Purge behind nay, I will come to you else,
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: Master Dreyford.
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: These senses, as you term them, are of much efficacy
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: in carnal mixtures, that is when we crowd and thrust
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: a man and a woman together.
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 1: Purge aside, what so.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: Close aid it? I thought this was one end of
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: your exercise by our lady. I think there's small property
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: in this. Oh wink no more. I am now tickled
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 4: with a conceit that is a scurvy thing to be
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 4: a cuckold.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 6: I commend this zeal in you, Mistress Purge. I desire
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 6: much to be of your society.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: Do you indeed blessing on your heart? Are you upright
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 3: in your dealings?
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 17: Yes?
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 6: I do love to stand to anything I do, though
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 6: I lose by it. In truth, I deal but too
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 6: truly for this world. You shall hear how far I
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 6: am entered in the right way already. First, I live
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 6: in charity and give small arms to such as be
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 6: not of the right sect. I take under twenty one hundred.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 6: You're no forfeiture of bonds unless the Lord tell my
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 6: conscience I may do it. I set no pot on
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 6: a Sundays, but feed on cold meat dressed to Saturdays.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 6: I keep no hole holy days nor fasts, but eat
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 6: most pleasure Fridays of all days of the week. I
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 6: do used to say, inspired grace is able to starve
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 6: a wicked man with length. I have aimin a dabs
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 6: and Abrahams to my godsons, and I chid them when
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 6: they ask me blessing. I do hate the red letter
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 6: more than I follow the written.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 1: Verity purge aside his clergy.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: These are the rudiments.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 20: Indeed, mouss dreyfort Nay, I can tell you I am
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 20: or will be of the right stamp purge aside a
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 20: poxyoust stamp.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 3: Don't learn the word for your admittance, and you will
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 3: be much made on by the congregation.
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 6: Aye the word, good mistress, purge a brother in the family.
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 1: Enough, I have my lesson purge aside.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: So have on my mind a brother in the family.
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: I must be a familist to day. I'll follow this
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: gear whiltis on footy faith.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: Then show up your eyes and lead the way to
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: the goodliest people that ever turned up the white of
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: the eye. Give me my book club, put out thy
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: link and come behind us.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 1: Dry fat knocks at the door of the meeting house.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 6: Who's there two brothers and a sister in the family.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 1: Mistress Purge, dry Fat, and Club enter the house. Then
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: Purge knocks at the door.
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 4: Who's them a familiar brother?
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 11: Here's no room for you nor your familiarity.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 4: How no room for me nor my familiarity. Why what's
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 4: the difference between a familiar brother and a brother in
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 4: the family.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 13: I know.
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 4: I made ellipsis of inn in this place where it
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 4: should have been expressed, so that the wants of inn
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 4: put me clean out, or let me see. May it
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: not be some mystery drawn from arithmetic? For my life?
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 4: These familists love no subtraction, take nothing away, but put
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 4: in an ad so much as you will, and after
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 4: addition follows multiplication of a most pharosite hypocritical crew. Well,
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 4: for my part, I like not this family, nor indeed
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: some kind of private lecturing that women use. Look to
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 4: it you that have such gathers for your wives. Self willed.
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 4: They are as children and the faith capable of not
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 4: much more than they peevish by custom, naturally fools. I
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 4: remember a pretty wooden sentence in a preamble to an exercise,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 4: where the reader prayed that men of his cope might
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 4: grow up like cedars to make good wainscott in the
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 4: house of sincerity? Would not this wainscot phrase be written
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 4: brass to publish him that spake it for an animal?
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 4: Why such wooden pellets out of earthen trunks do strike
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 4: These females into admiration, hit some home, sometimes perhaps in
• 1:13:32
  Speaker 4: at one ear and out at t'other, And then they depart,
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 4: in opinion, wiser than their neighbors, fraught with matter, able
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: to take down and mortify their husbands. Well, I'll home
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 4: now and bring the true word. Next time I shall
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: expect my wife Anon read up with zeal and big
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 4: with melting tears. And this night I do expect, as
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: her manner is, she will weep me a whole chamber
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 4: pot full low quarlepedes. Do I cast pills abroad? This
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: is no matter what I say. I talk like apothecary
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 4: as I am. I have only purged myself of a
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: little collar and passion, and I am now armed with
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 4: a patient resolution. But how to put my ORNs in
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 4: my pocket? No, what wise men bear, is not for
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: me to scorn? Tis an honorable thing to wear the horn.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 1: Exit Scene four, Lipsov's chamber into websolve without his doublet
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: a whip in his.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 13: Hand, Fortune, devil's tad in thy teeth. I'll turn no
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 13: more thy will, art is above thy might. What though
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 13: my project with Mistress Maria failed, more ways to the
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 13: wood than one, there's variety in love. It is believed.
• 1:15:13

  Speaker 1: before the meetinghouse of the family of Love. Enter Lipsov
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: Gudjin Shrimp and Perrywinkle, come.
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 17: Boys are clothes boys? And what is the most current news?
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 19: Pennywinkle faith, Sir, Fortune has favored us with no news.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 19: But what the pedaler brought from Norfolk?
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 13: Is there nothing stirring at court?
• 1:24:08
  Speaker 9: Shrimp faith?
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 8: That is so, but nothing new?
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 13: Good wag faith, Thou smellest somewhat of a courtier, though
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 13: thou mother was a citizen's wife. Off with that filthy
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 13: great band. Nay quick on with your robe of sanctity,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 13: nay suddenly, man?
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 17: And why must we shift ourselves into this demure habit?
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 17: If impossible to be of the family and keep our
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 17: own fashion?
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 13: Tat man, the name of a gallant is more hateful
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 13: to them than the sight of a corner cap. Hadst
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 13: thou heard the Protestations, the wife of a bellow's mender
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 13: made but yesternight against gallants, Thou hadst forever abjured crimson breeches.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 13: She swore that all gallants were persons inferior to bellows menders.
• 1:24:58
  Speaker 13: For the trade of bellows made ma was very aerial
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 13: and high. And what were men and women, but bellows,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 13: for they take wind in at one place and do
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 13: evaporate at another. Evaporate was her very phrase.
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 17: We think her phrase flew with somewhat too strong a vapor.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 13: Nay, she proves farther that all men receive their being
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 13: chiefly from bellows, without which the fire burns. Not without fire,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 13: the pot seeth not, the pot not seething. Powdered beef
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 13: is not to be eaten, of which she then averred,
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 13: our nation was a great devourer, and without which they
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 13: could neither fight for their country abroad nor get children
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 13: at home. Four said she, Powdered beef is a great
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 13: joiner of nerves together?
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 17: What answer madeest thou Mary, that I.
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 13: Thought aboard was a greater journal of nerves together than
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 13: powdered beef. With that, she protested that a board was
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 13: an instrument of the devil. And as she had proved
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 13: that bellows menders were of God's trade, so boards were
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 13: of the devil's trade.
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: Four.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 13: And thereupon she blew her nose. The devil and boards
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 13: did both live by the sins.
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 5: Of the people.
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 13: No more, Mistress Purge, is at hand vanish boys away.
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 1: Excellant shrimp and periwinkle.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 13: Make haste before Jove. She'll be with us if we
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 13: can be provided for her.
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 1: They retire. Enter Mistress purge club, carrying a link before her.
• 1:26:39
  Speaker 3: Advance your link, Club, And what time what thou bound

• 1:26:46
  Speaker 7: I was bound indeed about midsummer?
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: And when hath thy apprenticeship end at Mikeltide next? So
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: I take it, They say, Club, you fall very heavy
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: on such you love, not you.
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 6: Have a thought of me.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 7: Indeed, Mistress, I must confess my fallen is rustic, gross
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 7: and butcher like Mary. Yours is a pretty foolish light
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 7: court like falling. Yet believe me, my master smells somewhat
• 1:27:15
  Speaker 7: too gross of the purgation he wants tutoring. And why
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 7: I pray my master, being set last night in his shop,
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 7: comes Master Doctor Glister, as his manner is squirting in suddenly,
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 7: and after some conference tells my master that, by his
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 7: own knowledge, you were young with child, to which my
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 7: master replied, why master doctor, will you put me to
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 7: more charges?
• 1:27:43
  Speaker 3: Yet thou ought a fool, And as my husband's spake,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: as wise as if the master of his company had
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 3: spoke he knows doctors ever seats for women, which makes
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: the most apt to conceive, and he promising he administered
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 3: the same lately to me. Thereupon spake it. Lead with
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: your link.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 13: Not ready ready, then speak pitifully, look scurvily, and dissemble cunningly,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 13: and we shall quickly prove two of the fraternity advancing
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 13: with gunjin Benediction and sanctity, love and charity fall on
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 13: mistress page sister of the family. And what I pray
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 13: be you two too newly converted from the rags of
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 13: Christianity to become good members in the house of the family.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: Who I pray converted you, Ma.
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 17: Dry Fad the merchant.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: And from what sins hath he converted you from.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 13: Two very notorious crimes. The first was from eating fish
• 1:28:51
  Speaker 13: on Fridays, and the second from speaking reverently of the clergy.
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 13: But he resolved us your talent in edifying young men
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 13: went far beyond.
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 1: His inter purge.
• 1:29:07

  Speaker 3: nor playhouses.
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 17: Must we have no recreation?
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: Yes, on the days which profane lips cool holy days,
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 3: you may take your spaniel and spend some hours at
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 3: the docking pond.
• 1:29:34
  Speaker 13: What are we bound unto? During the time we remain
• 1:29:38
  Speaker 13: in the family, during.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 3: The light of the candle, you are to be very attentive.
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 3: Whispers which being extinguished, How to behave yourselves? I would

• 1:30:38
  Speaker 4: this gear. They are going follow Purge close, close and softly,
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 4: like a horsekeeper in a lady's matted chamber.
• 1:30:50
  Speaker 1: At midnight, Mistress Purge knocks at the door of the meetinghouse, who.
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 3: Knots, brethren and a sister in the family, and.

  Speaker 1: In peace Mistress Perge, Wepsov Gudjan and club enter the house.
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 4: Brethren and a sister. That's the word. How beastly I
• 1:31:14
  Speaker 4: was mistaken last day? I should have said a brother
• 1:31:20
  Speaker 4: in the family, And I said a familiar brother, for
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 4: which I and my family were thrust out doors, But
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 4: as tight as silas of oberon Bridge, most learnedly was
• 1:31:33

  Speaker 15: take the foil nor Mars, his star like Adamantine Targe

  Speaker 5: Master? Dryf hat?
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 15: Shall I repose some trust in you? Will you lay
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 15: by a while your city's precise humor? Will you not
• 1:33:55
  Speaker 15: deceive me if.
• 1:33:57
  Speaker 6: I deceive your trust the general plagues? That is, may
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 6: I die a couckled And I.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 15: Say, thou shalt die a true citizen if thou conceal it.
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 15: And thus, in brief it stands with thy knowledge, how
• 1:34:10
  Speaker 15: seriously I have and do still affect Maria. Now, Sir,
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 15: I have so wrought it that if thou couldst procure
• 1:34:17
  Speaker 15: me a fellow that could serve instead of a crier,
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 15: I myself would play plaquet the parator, and summon Doctor
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 15: Glister and Maria to appear at thy house. And as
• 1:34:27
  Speaker 15: I play the parator, so wouldst thou, but assume the
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 15: shape of a proctor. I should have the wench, thou
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 15: the credit, and the whole city occasion of discourse is
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 15: nine days.
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 3: How's this?
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 6: How's this? I should procure a fellow to play the crier,
• 1:34:42
  Speaker 6: and I myself should play the proctor. But upon what
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 6: occasion should they be summoned?
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 15: Upon an accusation that doctor Glister should give Maria his
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 15: niece with child and have bastards in the country, which
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 15: I have a trick to make probable.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 6: And now I recall it to memory. I heard somewhat
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 6: to that effect last night in Master beard Bush the
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 6: barber's shop. But how will this sort who shall accuse him.
• 1:35:09
  Speaker 5: Refer that to me?
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 15: I say, be that my care or shall end in
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 15: merriment and no disgrace touch either of their reputations.
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 6: Didn't take both word and hand. Tis done, club, Mister
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 6: Spurge's printers.
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 15: Shall be the crier, Oh, my most precious dryf hat.
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 15: May none of thy daughters prove vessels with foul bung holes,
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 15: or none of thy son's hogsheads, but all true and
• 1:35:34
  Speaker 15: honorable dryve hats like thyself.
• 1:35:37
  Speaker 6: Well, Master Gerardine, I hope to see you a familist
• 1:35:40
  Speaker 6: before I die.
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 15: That's most likely, for I held most of their principles already.
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 15: I never rail or calumniate any man, but in love
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 15: and charity. I never cozen any man for any ill
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 15: will I bear him, but in love and charity to myself.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 15: I never make my neighbor cuck hold for any hate
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 15: or malice. I bear him but in love and charity
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 15: to his wife.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 6: And may those principles fructify in your weak members. I'll
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 6: be gone and with the most quick dexterity, provide you
• 1:36:10
  Speaker 6: a crier tomorrow at my house? Did you they should appear?
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 15: Be that the time most honor, drive fat. But be
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 15: this known to none, most love, sir, save club, or
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 15: to some other whom your judgment shall select as a
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 15: fit person for our project.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 6: That's enough time out of sight.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 15: Exit Maria, Thou art mine Earth's perfection and Nature's glory.
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 15: Woman of what an excellency if her thoughts and acts
• 1:36:40
  Speaker 15: were squared and leveled with the first solicitude of her creation.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 15: To enjoy A creature whose disheveled locks like gems against
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 15: the repercussive sun, gives light and splendor, whose star like
• 1:36:55
  Speaker 15: eyes attract more gazers love to see their remove than
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 15: the Titan god when aegeans heal in mountain triumph. A

  Speaker 15: skin more pure and soft than is the silkworm's bed,
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 15: teeth more white than you, full and snow or shining
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 15: ivory is happiness sought by the gods themselves. Celestial Venus,

  Speaker 11: Minion, minion coin, no excuses I grant dreams are deceitful.

  Speaker 13: Why you are in the common road of revenge, Take
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 13: which hand you will. You cannot go out of your way?
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 13: Tis as soon taken as time by his forepart faith.
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 17: Since he has struck with the sword, strike you with
• 2:01:10
  Speaker 17: the scabbard. In plain terms, I call him. You may

• 2:01:31
  Speaker 13: You say, true, mistress cleister, there's help required in grafting,
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 13: And how happily we come to tender our service. Let
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 13: our pretense be to take physic of the doctor, and
• 2:01:43
  Speaker 13: that he may, with as much ease minister to us
• 2:01:46
  Speaker 13: as we to. You will take a lodging in his house.

• 2:02:00
  Speaker 11: favor out of the same piece.

  Speaker 13: Excellent, excellent. Now shall we be revenged for the whipping mistress, glister,
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 13: let me be your first man.
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 1: Nay, soft, sir, I plied her as soon as you
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 1: guster aside.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 10: I should have an oar in her boat too, By right.
• 2:02:25
  Speaker 13: How ill advised were you to marry one with a
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 13: red beard?
• 2:02:29
  Speaker 11: Oh, Master liipself, I am not the first that has
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 11: fallen under that ensign. There's no complexion more attractive in
• 2:02:36
  Speaker 11: this time for women than gold and red beards. Such
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 11: men are all liver.
• 2:02:42
  Speaker 17: Aye, but small heart and less honesty.
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 13: Yes, they are honest too, in some kind, for they'll
• 2:02:48
  Speaker 13: beg before they'll steal.
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 17: That's true. For one that holds up his hands at
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 17: the sessions, you shall have ten come into the body court.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 10: Guster was ever beard, so backbitten. This were enough to
• 2:03:04
  Speaker 10: make red beards turn medley and dash them clean out
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 10: of countenance. But I hope, like mine, they fear no colors.
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 10: And you were ten courtiers. I'll front you. I must
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 10: give you physic with a pox, Well, i'll peppy ye,
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 10: not call me doctor Dottypoul comes forward, Master Lipsov and
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 10: Master Gudgeon. You are heartily welcome. I am very glad
• 2:03:29
  Speaker 10: to see you well, Oh.
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 13: Master doctor, your salutation is very suspicious. Why Master lipsalv
• 2:03:37
  Speaker 13: it can scarce be hearty? For physicians are rather glad
• 2:03:41
  Speaker 13: to see men ill than well.
• 2:03:44
  Speaker 10: Not so, sir, You must distinguish of men. Though this
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 10: I know. Virtue is not the end of all science,
• 2:03:50
  Speaker 10: which commonly keeps the professor poor. Some study questuary and
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 10: gainful arts, and everyone would thrive into calling. But if
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 10: faith gentle in what wind drives you.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 17: Hither the wind callic, master doctor, or some such disease,
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 17: but not the stone colic.
• 2:04:11
  Speaker 13: Oh no, sir, we have no obstructions in those parts.
• 2:04:17
  Speaker 13: We are loose enough there.
• 2:04:19
  Speaker 10: If you were troubled with that, my wife can tell
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 10: you of an excellent remedy.
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 17: We need it not, We need it not. But indeed,
• 2:04:28
  Speaker 17: master doctor, for some private infirmities which are waters, shall
• 2:04:33
  Speaker 17: make known to you. We desire to take some physical
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 17: view for a few days, and to that end we
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 17: would take a lodging in your house during the time.
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 13: Shall we entreat your favor?
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 10: No entreaty, gentlemen. You shall command me to search the
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 10: very profundity of my skill, for you have them in wife,
• 2:04:55
  Speaker 10: and show them their lodging. I will think upon another
• 2:04:58
  Speaker 10: receipt and follow you in mediately.
• 2:05:01
  Speaker 17: And I faith we shall requite your pains to the full.
• 2:05:07
  Speaker 1: Ecciant Mistress, glister Lipsol and Gudchin to the.
• 2:05:12
  Speaker 10: Fool you mean, I know you have a horn of
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 10: plenty for me, which you would derive unto me from
• 2:05:18
  Speaker 10: the liberality of your bodies, not your minds. Here are
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 10: lords that, having learned the O p Q of courtship,
• 2:05:26
  Speaker 10: travel up and down among citizens wives to show their
• 2:05:30
  Speaker 10: learning and bringing up, as if the city were not
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 10: already a good proficient in the court horn book. Yes,
• 2:05:36
  Speaker 10: I warrant they have heads as capable as other men. Ay,
• 2:05:40
  Speaker 10: and some of them can wisely say with the philosopher
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 10: that in knowing all, they know nothing well, because I
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 10: am the livery and pay Scott and lot amongst you
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 10: do but observe how I'll fetch over my gallants for
• 2:05:53
  Speaker 10: your sakes, they say, I am of the right hair,
• 2:05:56
  Speaker 10: and indeed they may stand to it and hold the
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 10: position good safety with my wife? Soft are they not
• 2:06:02
  Speaker 10: at pro encontra? Already I know they are hot spurs,
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 10: and I must have an eye to the main. They
• 2:06:09
  Speaker 10: have been whipped already for lectory, and yet the pride
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 10: of the flesh pricksen. Well I must in I have
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 10: given them such a pill shall take him down, for
• 2:06:19
  Speaker 10: lust must have his fill.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 1: Exit Scene two, Another room in Guster's house, Enter Maria above.
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 2: Now Nature's pencil and the hand of time gives life
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 2: and limb to generations. Act my shame and guilt. In
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 2: wordless notes appear the argument of scorn. Oh, now I
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 2: stand the theme and comment to each liberal tongue, whilst
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 2: hope breeds comfort and fear threats my wrong. Oh, Gerardine,
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 2: how oft thy lively figure, deeply impressed in my yielding
• 2:06:53
  Speaker 2: temper assures me Thou art mine, how fancy paints thy
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 2: true proportion in my troubled see because sole subject of
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 2: my daily thoughts, Oh, if thy vows profaned and thou unjust,
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 2: I say and swear in men, there is no trust.
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 1: Enter Gerardine.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 15: Thus have I passed the round and court of God
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 15: without the word, either conceit is strong or else. The body,
• 2:07:21
  Speaker 15: where true loves confind, walks as a spirit and our
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 15: force his way through greatest dangers, frightful to those eyes
• 2:07:29
  Speaker 15: that wait to intercept him. Maria, how liked Cynthia and
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 15: her silver orb. She seems to me attended by Love's lamp,
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 15: whose mutual influence and so sympathy doth show Heaven's model immortality.
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 2: Gerardine, Aurora, nor the blushing Soun's approach, dart not more
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 2: comfort to this universe than thou to me most acceptably come.

  Speaker 2: The art of number cannot count the hours thou hast
• 2:07:59
  Speaker 2: been absent.
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 15: Infinity of love holds no proportion with arithmetic. Think not, Maria,
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 15: but my heart retains a deep impression of such thoughts
• 2:08:08
  Speaker 15: as these. I have been forging of a mirthful plot
• 2:08:11
  Speaker 15: to celebrate our wished conjunction, which now digested, come to
• 2:08:17
  Speaker 15: summon thee to be an actress in the comedy.
• 2:08:20
  Speaker 2: How where when speak mine ears are quick to hear.
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 2: I stand on thorns already.
• 2:08:27
  Speaker 15: To be there at Dryver's house the merchant theirs are seen,
• 2:08:32
  Speaker 15: whose sequel, if I fail not in intent, shall answer
• 2:08:35
  Speaker 15: our desires in each content. But when sourest Thou, Lipsov
• 2:08:40
  Speaker 15: and Gudgeon are two glants.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 2: They are in the house so handled by mine uncle,
• 2:08:45
  Speaker 2: that they are the pitifulest patients that ever you beheld.
• 2:08:49
  Speaker 15: No matter ye serves them in their kind. They were
• 2:08:52
  Speaker 15: infamous in the court, and now our grown is notorious
• 2:08:55
  Speaker 15: in the city. They may happily prove particles in our
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 15: sport in fit subjects for laughter. Time calls me hens
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 15: a jeer, prepare to meet.
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 2: I shall outstrip the nimblest in my.
• 2:09:07
  Speaker 1: Feet, exciant severally. Scene three, a room in Dryfat's house.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 1: Enter Dryfat disguised as a proctor, and Club as a crier.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 6: Come, Club, Come, there's a merry fray towards we shall
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 6: see the death of Melancholy. Wherein Thou and I must
• 2:09:27
  Speaker 6: call a grand jury of jests together and pass upon
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 6: them with the club law.
• 2:09:32
  Speaker 7: Now, as I am all the crier, and yet but
• 2:09:36
  Speaker 7: a young club, I have not yet practiced that law.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 7: You have a hauld dry fat aunt, I pray you
• 2:09:43
  Speaker 7: instruct me.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 6: Why tis a law enacted by the common Council of
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 6: statute caps to qualify the rage of the time, to follow,
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 6: to call back, and sometimes to encounter gentlemen when they
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 6: run in the rear ridges. I tell thee there's no aver.
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 6: And against our bookcases, tis the law called make peace,
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 6: And it makes them even when they are odds. It
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 6: shows em a flat case as plain as a peckstaff
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 6: that he's knocks em down without circumstance.
• 2:10:15
  Speaker 7: Ay, Mary, I like that law. Well, tis studied with
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 7: the turning of a hand. There's no credits, nor peddlers
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 7: French in it. There needs no book for the exposition
• 2:10:26
  Speaker 7: of the terms. Tis as easily learned as the felling
• 2:10:29
  Speaker 7: of wood and getting a children. All is but laying
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 7: on load at the downright blow.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 6: Ay, and by the way of exhortation, it prints this
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 6: moral sentence on their costards in capital letters. Agree for
• 2:10:43
  Speaker 6: the law is costly good good.
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 7: But all this while there's no doctor thought on. We
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 7: must have one to arbitrate.
• 2:10:52
  Speaker 6: Why master Girardine man has his name for the purpose,
• 2:10:56
  Speaker 6: he shall be called doctor Stickler lupusestin fabula.
• 2:11:02
  Speaker 1: Here he comes entered Gerardine.
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 15: How now, lads, is our conceit cotton? How you summoned
• 2:11:09
  Speaker 15: your wits from wool gathering? Are you fraught with matter
• 2:11:12
  Speaker 15: for this merriment?
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 8: Fool, fool?
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 6: We are in labor, man, and we shall die without midwiffery.
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 7: We are ravaged with the light like the wench there
• 2:11:22
  Speaker 7: was got with child against your stomach.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 13: Ah.
• 2:11:25
  Speaker 7: But if we could rest this smart law now in
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 7: hand to our club law, it were excellent.
• 2:11:32
  Speaker 6: Easily easily all shall be called the club law. As
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 6: how why thus club is the crier. I am popping
• 2:11:43
  Speaker 6: the proctor, and you Stickler the doctor. He calls them
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 6: to appear. I must be of their council, and you
• 2:11:51
  Speaker 6: must atone them put em together. We may know their
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 6: cases and be in their elements mark you me, but
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 6: they cannot be in ours. Tut none knows our secrets.
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 6: We can speak fustion above their understanding and make asses.
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 6: He is attentive. I'll play ambidexter, tell him tis a
• 2:12:11
  Speaker 6: plain case, and put him down with the club law,
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 6: so that as club said, well, ye, now our knavery
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 6: is as near allied as felling of wood and getting
• 2:12:21
  Speaker 6: of children.
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 15: Excellent, excellent. By this they are at hand. Let's bear
• 2:12:26

  Speaker 1: He cries, Master Doctor.
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 6: I have heard in general terms the tales of Master
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 6: Doctor Glister and Master Purge, which have, in mutual manner,
• 2:19:17
  Speaker 6: jumped into the quagmire of my mind, out of which quagmire,
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 6: by your enforcement and mine own duty, I pluck them
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 6: up by the ears, and thus in naked apparents. I
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 6: present them.
• 2:19:31
  Speaker 15: At remadri, Master Poppin, leave your allegories, your metaphors and circumlocutions,
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 15: and to the point.

  Speaker 6: Then briefly, thus I have compared their tables. How short
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 6: they will come of their wives?
• 2:19:47
  Speaker 10: I know not?

  Speaker 7: Rebecca Purge, wife to Peter Purge patha carey appear upon
• 2:19:59
  Speaker 7: my purgation, upon pain of excommunication.
• 2:20:03
  Speaker 3: Here I am, oh times and piety. Hither I come
• 2:20:07
  Speaker 3: from out the harmless fauld to have my good name

• 2:20:18
  Speaker 3: shall them before?
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 5: Who is her accuser?
• 2:20:22
  Speaker 6: Her own husband. Upon the late discovery of a crew
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 6: of narrow rut straight list, yet loose bodied dames with
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 6: the rout of omnium gatherums assembled by the title of
• 2:20:34
  Speaker 6: the family of Love, which Master doctor, if they be
• 2:20:38
  Speaker 6: not punished and suppressed by our club law, each man's
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 6: copyhold will become freehold. Specialties will turn to generalities, and
• 2:20:47
  Speaker 6: so from unity to parity, from parity to plurality, and
• 2:20:51
  Speaker 6: from plurality to universality. Their wives the only ornaments of
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 6: their houses, and of all their wares, goods and chattels.
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 6: The chief movables will be made common.
• 2:21:03
  Speaker 4: Most voluble and eloquent proctor.
• 2:21:07
  Speaker 15: By our lady. These enormities must and shall be redressed.
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 15: Otherwise I see their chatter will be infringed, and their
• 2:21:15
  Speaker 15: ancient staff of government to the club. From whence we
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 15: drive our law for castigation this club, I say, they,
• 2:21:21
  Speaker 15: seeming nothing less than men, by their forepart, will be
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 15: turned upon their own heads. Speak Rebecca, perche art, thou
• 2:21:30
  Speaker 15: one of this family, hast thou ever known the body
• 2:21:33
  Speaker 15: of any man there or elsewhere? Concupiscentically no mars, Doctor.
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 3: Those are the devices of the wicked to trap the innocent.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 3: But I thank my spirit. I have fear before my eyes,
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 3: which my husband sees, not because something hangs in its light.
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 1: Purge aside.
• 2:21:52
  Speaker 4: That's my horns, She flouts me to my face, and
• 2:21:56

• 2:22:12

• 2:23:58
  Speaker 13: it coming, once it going, and once in the midst

  Speaker 3: necessary things about me? When the poor begs at my
• 2:24:58
  Speaker 3: gate ready to starve? Is that not better, as I
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 3: learned last lecture, to send my substance before me where
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 3: I may find it, and to leave it behind me,
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 3: or I must forego it. Yes, verily we'll have all
• 2:25:12
  Speaker 3: to put you out of doubt. I have given that
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 3: ring to charitable uses.
• 2:25:16
  Speaker 6: Nay, now she falters, My client can show that ring
• 2:25:21
  Speaker 6: got from her at the family, when these two courtlings
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 6: had at the same time beleaguered her fault.
• 2:25:28
  Speaker 15: This alters the case clean What starting hold are you now,

  Speaker 3: however he came by that ring, by my sisterhood. I
• 2:25:42
  Speaker 3: gave it to the relief of the distressed Geneva.
• 2:25:46
  Speaker 4: How to the relief of the distressed Geneva. Just this,
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 4: master doctor, I may now decline victus victor victim one
• 2:25:59
  Speaker 4: word more shall overthrow her. I myself was a familist
• 2:26:04
  Speaker 4: that day, who more jealous than zealous in devotion, thrust
• 2:26:09
  Speaker 4: in among the rest, as I add, most right on
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 4: purpose to sounder to find out the knavery short tail
• 2:26:19
  Speaker 4: to make I got a ring, and here it is.
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 4: Let her deny it if she can. And what more
• 2:26:27
  Speaker 4: I discovered, Non s nonk narandi locus.
• 2:26:31
  Speaker 3: Husband, I see you are hoodwinked in the right to
• 2:26:34
  Speaker 3: use a feeling and knowledge as if I knew you
• 2:26:37
  Speaker 3: not then as well as the child knows his own father.
• 2:26:40
  Speaker 3: Look at the posy of my ring. Does not tell
• 2:26:43
  Speaker 3: you that we two are one flush and hath not
• 2:26:45
  Speaker 3: fellow feeling taught us to know one another as well
• 2:26:48
  Speaker 3: by night as by day, husband, husband, what you do
• 2:26:52
  Speaker 3: as a blind jade break your neck down a hill
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 3: because you see it?
• 2:26:55
  Speaker 7: Not how you know?
• 2:26:57
  Speaker 3: Light of nature? And that flush of yours as true
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 3: as I live, was the doctor I had his secret operation,
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 3: and I knew him then to be my husband Ian
• 2:27:07
  Speaker 3: by very instinct.
• 2:27:08
  Speaker 4: Impudence does not blush. Are not ashamed to lie so abominably?
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 3: No husband? Rather, be you ashamed of your own weakness?
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 3: For for my part, I neither fear nor shame what
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 3: man can do unto me.
• 2:27:25
  Speaker 15: Master perch, I see you have spent your pith. Therefore
• 2:27:28
  Speaker 15: best to make a full point at the ring and
• 2:27:31
  Speaker 15: attend our pleasure. Master Poppinam, proceed to the rest crier.
• 2:27:36
  Speaker 7: Call doctor Glister, Doctor Glister alias suppositor doctor of physic,
• 2:27:42
  Speaker 7: appear upon thy purgation upon the belly pane that may
• 2:27:46
  Speaker 7: ensue therein.
• 2:27:48
  Speaker 10: Here, Master Doctor, who is this accuser.
• 2:27:52
  Speaker 6: His clamorous wife, who seems to enforce a separation about
• 2:27:56
  Speaker 6: a bastard in the country which should be his only
• 2:28:00
  Speaker 6: fathered upon him?
• 2:28:01
  Speaker 5: What proof of that proof?
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 11: Unanswerable? Master Doctor? The nurse's letter Let it be read,
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 11: But first observe his countenance. It may be his blushing
• 2:28:13
  Speaker 11: will be ray his skilled.
• 2:28:15
  Speaker 15: Now by this light I thought it had indeed, but
• 2:28:17
  Speaker 15: I seatis but the reflection of his beat. Read the
• 2:28:20
  Speaker 15: letter Master.
• 2:28:21
  Speaker 1: Poppin Dreifa reads, after my hearty commendations remembered unto your
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 1: worshipful doctorship, trusting in God that you are as well
• 2:28:32
  Speaker 1: as I was at the making here of thanks be
• 2:28:35
  Speaker 1: to Him.
• 2:28:36
  Speaker 6: Therefore, the cause of my writing unto you at this
• 2:28:39
  Speaker 6: time is to let you understand that your little son
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 6: is turned a ragged colt, a very stripling, for being
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 6: now stripped of all his clothing, his backside wants a
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 6: tail piece, commends itself to your fatherly consideration. Woe worth
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 6: the time that ever I gave suck to a child
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 6: that came in at the window. God knows how yet
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 6: if you did, but see how like the pert little
• 2:29:06
  Speaker 6: redheaded navies to his father, and how like a cock
• 2:29:11
  Speaker 6: sparrow he mouses and touses my little base, already you
• 2:29:16
  Speaker 6: would take him for your own and pay me my hire.
• 2:29:20
  Speaker 6: I write not of the want of one thing, for
• 2:29:23
  Speaker 6: I want all things. Wherefore, take some speedy order or else,
• 2:29:28
  Speaker 6: as naked as he came from the mother. Will I
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 6: send him to the father from p. Twenty second, your
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 6: poor nurse Thomasine Tweedles.
• 2:29:39
  Speaker 10: Master doctor, truth needs not the foil of rhetoric. I
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 10: will only in monosyllable answer for myself, as sometimes a
• 2:29:48
  Speaker 10: wise man did. Such and such things are laid to
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 10: my charge, which I deny. You may think of me
• 2:29:53
  Speaker 10: what you please, But I am as innocent in this
• 2:29:56
  Speaker 10: as the child newborn.
• 2:29:59
  Speaker 15: Why partly a confession. The child we know is innocent
• 2:30:03
  Speaker 15: and not newborn either, for it should seem by the
• 2:30:06
  Speaker 15: letter he is able to call his diet knave.
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 10: You take me wrong, Master doctor.
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 5: Under correction.
• 2:30:13
  Speaker 6: Thus much can I say for my client's justification. Indeed,
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 6: he hath traveled well in the beating of pulses, and
• 2:30:21
  Speaker 6: hath been much conversant in women's jordans. But he had
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 6: ever a care to raise his patient being before cast
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 6: down his charitable disposition. Hath been such to poor folk
• 2:30:33
  Speaker 6: that he never took above fourpence for the casting of
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 6: a water, which good custom was so well known among
• 2:30:40
  Speaker 6: all his patients, that if sixpence were at any time
• 2:30:42
  Speaker 6: offered him, they might be bold to ask and have
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 6: tuppence again he hath been so skillful and painful withal
• 2:30:49
  Speaker 6: in the cure of the green sickness, that of my
• 2:30:53
  Speaker 6: knowledge he hath risen at all hours in the night
• 2:30:56
  Speaker 6: to pleasure maids that have had it, and that foul
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 6: mouth disease termed by a fine phrase, er your pots
• 2:31:06
  Speaker 6: on what do you called, oh the grin combs, But
• 2:31:11
  Speaker 6: that he hath played his doctor's price and writes nilultra
• 2:31:16
  Speaker 6: to all mountebanks, so that the wise woman in Pissing Alley,
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 6: nor she in Doolittle Dane, are more famous for good
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 6: deeds than he then, Master Doctor. Out of these presumptions,
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 6: besides his flat denial a more infallible ground, you may
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 6: gather his innocence and let him have his purgation.
• 2:31:36
  Speaker 15: No, Master Poppin, it is not so to be foisted off.
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 11: Nay, Master Doctor, what say you to his own niece
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 11: that looks big upon him, an arrow that sticks for
• 2:31:47
  Speaker 11: the upshot against all comers, which, by his restraint of
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 11: her from Master Jardine, an honest gentleman that loved her,
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 11: and upon that color, from the sight and intercourse of
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 11: other men, must by all presumtion, be his own act.
• 2:32:02
  Speaker 15: Oh monstrous, this is a fout blot in your tables.
• 2:32:06
  Speaker 10: Indeed, Wife, thou hast no shame nor womanhood in thee.
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 10: Thy conscience knows me true of thy flesh.
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 11: Who knows not that thy be it speaks for thee Aye, Aye,
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 11: thou liest by me like a stone, but abroad that
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 11: like a stone horse, You old limb.
• 2:32:25
  Speaker 6: Lifter, seize your clamor and attend my speech, Most worshipful
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 6: Reverend and judicial Doctor, for the quickening of your memory.
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 6: I will give you a breviat of all that hath
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 6: been spoken. Master Doctor Glister hath a gradleful and a
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 6: bellyful you see thrust upon him, and Master Purge a headful.
• 2:32:48
  Speaker 6: Your wife is an angry, honeyless wasp whose sting I
• 2:32:52
  Speaker 6: hope you need not fear, and yours carries honey in
• 2:32:56
  Speaker 6: her mouth. But her sting makes your foreign swell mhm.
• 2:33:00
  Speaker 6: Your wife makes you deaf with the shrill trouble of
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 6: her tongue, and yours makes you horn mad with the
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 6: tenor of her tale. In fine Master Doctor's refugees his conscience,
• 2:33:12
  Speaker 6: and Master Purge runs at his wife's ring.
• 2:33:17
  Speaker 15: Shuma totalis a good order. How you made Master Poppin
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 15: now attend my habitrament for you, gallance, though you have
• 2:33:26
  Speaker 15: incurbed the danger of the law by using counterfeit keys
• 2:33:30
  Speaker 15: and putting your hands into the wrong pocket. Yet because
• 2:33:33
  Speaker 15: I see you punished and purged already, my advice is
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 15: that you learn the ABC of better manners. Go back
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 15: and tell her you have been used in the city,
• 2:33:44
  Speaker 15: and being the scout, keep yourselves clean and the bed
• 2:33:47
  Speaker 15: undefiled for you, Master Perge, because I see your evidence
• 2:33:52
  Speaker 15: insufficient and indeed too weak to foil your wife's uprightness,
• 2:33:57
  Speaker 15: and seeing jealousy and unkindness only made her a stranger
• 2:34:01
  Speaker 15: in your land of ham. My counsels that you readvance
• 2:34:05
  Speaker 15: your standard, give her new press money.
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 4: You may enjoy me, sir, but not at me.
• 2:34:12
  Speaker 15: Man, I will enjoin you and conjoin you, and briefly
• 2:34:16
  Speaker 15: thus you have your ring that has made this combustion.
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 5: And uproar that keeps still wear it.
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 15: And here by my edict be proclaimed to all that
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 15: are jealous to wear their wives ring still on their fingers,
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 15: as best for their security and the only charm against cuckoldree.
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 4: Then wife at master Doctor's enjoinment, so thou wilt promise
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 4: me to come no more at the family. I receive
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 4: thee into the lists of my favor.
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 3: Truly, husband, my love must be free still to God's creatures, yea, nevertheless,
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 3: preserving you still as the head of my body. I
• 2:34:57
  Speaker 3: will do as a spirit shall enable me.
• 2:35:00
  Speaker 15: Go to thou hast a good wife, and there an
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 15: end upon you, O, Master Doctor Ham. Being solicited by
• 2:35:08
  Speaker 15: so apparent proof, I can do no less than pronounce
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 15: a severe sentence. And yet I faith the reverence of
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 15: your calling in profession doth somewhat check my austerity. What
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 15: if Master Jeredine, by my persuasion, would it be induced
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 15: to take your niece.
• 2:35:24
  Speaker 5: And father the child?
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 15: Would you lunch with a thousand pounds besides her father's portion.
• 2:35:31
  Speaker 10: Master Doctor, I would would it but to redeem her
• 2:35:34
  Speaker 10: lost good name?
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 15: Then, for knowing what would happen, I thought good in
• 2:35:39
  Speaker 15: Master Jardine's name to have this bond ready, which if
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 15: you seal too, ye shall take her.
• 2:35:44
  Speaker 10: With all thoughts that I will instantly seals the bond.
• 2:35:50
  Speaker 10: So this is done, which, together with my niece do
