• 5:15
  Speaker 16: my credit of less trust than courtier's words to men
• 5:18
  Speaker 16: of judgment, and for my debts I might deserve a knighthood?
• 5:23
  Speaker 16: What's to be done? The night? My father will not
• 5:26
  Speaker 16: once vouchsafed to call me son? That little land he
• 5:30
  Speaker 16: gave throat the lawyer swallowed at one gob for less
• 5:34
  Speaker 16: than half the worth, and for the city. There be
• 5:38
  Speaker 16: so many rascals and tall yeomen would hang upon me
• 5:42
  Speaker 16: for their maintenance. Should I but peep or step within
• 5:45
  Speaker 16: the gates, that I am forced only to ease my
• 5:49
  Speaker 16: charge to live here in the suburbs, or in the town,
• 5:53
  Speaker 16: to walk into nebris. I tell you, sir, your best
• 5:57
  Speaker 16: retired life is an honest punk in a thatched house
• 6:00
  Speaker 16: with garlic. Tell not me my punk's my punk and
• 6:05
  Speaker 16: noble leachery sticks by a man when all his friends
• 6:08
  Speaker 16: forsake him.
• 6:10
  Speaker 14: The pox at will art thou so senseless, grown so
• 6:13
  Speaker 14: much endeared to thy best your lust, that thy original
• 6:15
  Speaker 14: worth should lie extinct and buried in thy shame? Far
• 6:18
  Speaker 14: be such thoughts from spirits free and noble, begin to live?
• 6:22
  Speaker 14: Know thyself? And whence thou art derived? I know that
• 6:24
  Speaker 14: competent state thy father gave cannot be yet consumed.
• 6:28
  Speaker 16: Tis gone by heaven. Not a denier is left. Tis impossible, impossible, Tart,
• 6:35
  Speaker 16: I have had two suckers able to spend the wealthy
• 6:38
  Speaker 16: crease a store.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: And to Francis, what are they?
• 6:42
  Speaker 16: Why a lawyer and a whore? See here comes one
• 6:47
  Speaker 16: dost think this petticoat a perfumed smock, and twice a
• 6:52
  Speaker 16: week a bath can be maintained with half a year's revenues. No,
• 6:57
  Speaker 16: by heaven we annual. Younger brothers must go to it
• 7:00
  Speaker 16: by wholesale, By wholesale man, these creatures are maintained. Her
• 7:05
  Speaker 16: very face has cost one hundred pounds, sir, thank yourself.
• 7:10
  Speaker 12: They keep this hop betwixt them.
• 7:13
  Speaker 18: You know, sir, I did enjoy a quiet country life,
• 7:16
  Speaker 18: spotless and free, till you corrupted me and brought me
• 7:18
  Speaker 18: to the court. I never knew what sleeking glazing or
• 7:22
  Speaker 18: what pressing meant till you preferred me to your aunt
• 7:24
  Speaker 18: the lady. I knew no ivory teeth, no caps of hair,
• 7:28
  Speaker 18: no mercury water fuck us or perfumes to help a
• 7:31
  Speaker 18: lady's breath, until your aunt learnt me the common trick,
• 7:34
  Speaker 18: the common trick.
• 7:35
  Speaker 16: Say you a pox upon such common tricks they will
• 7:39
  Speaker 16: undo us all.
• 7:40
  Speaker 14: And knowing this art, thou so wilful, blind, still to
• 7:44
  Speaker 14: persist in ruin and defame.
• 7:46
  Speaker 16: What should I do? I've passed my word to keep
• 7:49
  Speaker 16: this gentle woman till I can place her to her
• 7:52
  Speaker 16: own content. And what is a gentleman but his word?
• 7:56
  Speaker 14: Why let her go to service to service?
• 7:59
  Speaker 16: Why so she does? She is my lawn dress, and
• 8:03
  Speaker 16: by this light no puny inner court, but keeps a
• 8:07
  Speaker 16: laundress at his command to do him service? And shall not? I?
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: Eh, sir, you.
• 8:12
  Speaker 18: Are his friend. I love him too. Propound a course
• 8:15
  Speaker 18: which may advantage him, and you shall find such real
• 8:18
  Speaker 18: worth in me that, rather than I'll live his hindrance,
• 8:21
  Speaker 18: I will assume the most penurious state the city yields
• 8:24
  Speaker 18: to give me means of life.
• 8:25
  Speaker 16: Why there's it? You hear what she says? Would not
• 8:29
  Speaker 16: he be damned that should forsake her? Says she?
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: Not?
• 8:32
  Speaker 13: Well?
• 8:33
  Speaker 16: Can you propound a course to get my forfeit land
• 8:36
  Speaker 16: from yonder? Rogue? Parcel, lawyer, parcel devil, all knave throat throat?
• 8:44
  Speaker 16: Not I? Why so I thought as much? You are
• 8:49
  Speaker 16: like our citizens to men in need, which cry tis pity.
• 8:52
  Speaker 16: A proper gentleman should want money, yet not an usuring
• 8:57
  Speaker 16: slave will lend him a denia to help his wants.
• 9:00
  Speaker 16: Will you lend me forty shillings? I will, Why God
• 9:05
  Speaker 16: a mercy, there's some goodness in me. You'll not repent?
• 9:11
  Speaker 14: I will not With that.
• 9:13
  Speaker 16: Money, I will redeem my forfeit land and wed my
• 9:17
  Speaker 16: coquatrists to a man of worship to a man of
• 9:20
  Speaker 16: worship by this light. But how thus in ram alley
• 9:25
  Speaker 16: lies a fellow by name Throat, one that professeth law,
• 9:29
  Speaker 16: but indeed has neither law nor conscience, a fellow that
• 9:34
  Speaker 16: never saw the bar, but when his life was called
• 9:36
  Speaker 16: in question for a cousinage, the rogue is rich to him.
• 9:41
  Speaker 16: Go you tell him that rich, Sir John Summerfield, how
• 9:46
  Speaker 16: that is lately dead, and that my hopes stand fair
• 9:50
  Speaker 16: to get his only daughter. If I speed and have
• 9:54
  Speaker 16: but means to steal away the wench, tell him I
• 9:57
  Speaker 16: reckon him, my chiefest friend, to entertain us till our
• 10:01
  Speaker 16: nuptial rights may be accomplished. And could you but procure
• 10:06
  Speaker 16: my elder brother meet me on the way, and but
• 10:09
  Speaker 16: associate me unto his house to a hit of faith,
• 10:12
  Speaker 16: I'd give my cunning Throat an honest slit for all
• 10:16
  Speaker 16: his tricks in law.
• 10:18
  Speaker 14: Why this shall be performed. Take there's my store to friends,
• 10:22

• 10:26
  Speaker 16: things there are common.

  Speaker 14: fortunes lay upon the attempt.
• 10:32
  Speaker 16: When shall I hear from you within this hour? Let
• 10:35
  Speaker 16: me alone for the rest. If I go not and
• 10:37
  Speaker 16: go beyond my open throated lawyer for all his bookcases
• 10:42
  Speaker 16: of trechesimo nono and quadragesima octavo, Let me like waiting gentlewomen,
• 10:49
  Speaker 16: be ever bound to sit upon my heels and pick rushes.

  Speaker 18: with many, and hold a false position that a woman

  Speaker 1: Excellent. And to mister Stafata and Adriana her maid above.
• 12:11
  Speaker 11: Come loved Adriana. Here, let us sit and mark who passes?
• 12:14
  Speaker 11: Now for a wager? What colored beard comes next by
• 12:17
  Speaker 11: the window?
• 12:18
  Speaker 19: A black madam?
• 12:19
  Speaker 11: I think, I think not? So I think are read?
• 12:22
  Speaker 11: For that is most in fashion? Lord, how scarce is
• 12:25
  Speaker 11: the world of proper men and gallants? Sure we never
• 12:29
  Speaker 11: more shall see a good leg worn and a long
• 12:31
  Speaker 11: silk stocking with a long cod piece of all fashions
• 12:34
  Speaker 11: that carried it at faith.
• 12:36
  Speaker 19: But he goes by, and to a citizen, a sniveling citizen.
• 12:40
  Speaker 19: He's carrying way on too, some lady's chamber exit. But
• 12:45
  Speaker 19: who is this?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: And to Thomas Smallshanks reading a letter?
• 12:49
  Speaker 11: I know him not. He looks just like a fool.
• 12:52
  Speaker 19: He's very brave. He may be a courtier. What's that
• 12:56
  Speaker 19: he means?
• 12:57
  Speaker 11: Ah, how light he treads for dirty and his silk stocking.
• 13:01
  Speaker 11: I'll tell you what a witty woman may, with ease
• 13:03
  Speaker 11: distinguish all men by their noses. As thus, your nose, Tuscan,
• 13:07
  Speaker 11: is lovely large and broad, much like a goose. Your valiant,
• 13:10
  Speaker 11: generous nose, a crooked, smooth, and a great puffing nose.
• 13:14
  Speaker 11: Your scholar's nose is very fresh and raw for want
• 13:16
  Speaker 11: of fire in winter, and quickly smells his chops of
• 13:18
  Speaker 11: mutton in his dish of porridge. Your puritan nose is
• 13:22
  Speaker 11: very sharp and long, much like your widows, and with ease,
• 13:25
  Speaker 11: can smell an edifying cape on some few streets.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Off and taboucher and constantia.
• 13:30
  Speaker 19: O, mistress, A very proper gentleman.
• 13:35
  Speaker 11: And trust me so he is. I never saw a
• 13:38
  Speaker 11: man that sooner could captive my thoughts, since I writ
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: widow than this gentleman. I would he would look up.
• 13:45
  Speaker 19: I left so loud that he may hear me.
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: That's not so good, and.
• 13:50
  Speaker 14: Spake you with master smallshanks, I did. Will he meet
• 13:53
  Speaker 14: his brother?
• 13:54
  Speaker 12: He said he would, and I believed him. I tell you, master,
• 13:57
  Speaker 12: I have done that for many of these gallants, that
• 14:00
  Speaker 12: no man in this town would do.
• 14:02
  Speaker 14: But I what is that? Boy?
• 14:04
  Speaker 12: Why trust them on their words? But you will hear
• 14:07
  Speaker 12: the news which now supplies the city with discourse.
• 14:10
  Speaker 13: What is it? Wag this, sir?
• 14:13
  Speaker 12: They say? Some of our city dames were much desirous
• 14:16
  Speaker 12: to see the baboons do their newest tricks. Went, saw them,
• 14:21
  Speaker 12: came home, went to bed, slept next morning. One of them,
• 14:26
  Speaker 12: being a shift o smock, sends down her maid to
• 14:29
  Speaker 12: warm her one. Meanwhile, she begins to think on the
• 14:34
  Speaker 12: baboon's tricks, and, naked in her bed, begins to practice some.
• 14:39
  Speaker 12: At last she strove to get her right leg over
• 14:42
  Speaker 12: her head. Thus, and by her activity she got it
• 14:45
  Speaker 12: across her shoulder. But not with all her power could
• 14:49
  Speaker 12: she reduce it. At last, she, with much struggling, tumbles
• 14:54
  Speaker 12: quite from the bed upon the floor. The maid, by
• 14:57
  Speaker 12: this returned with the warm smock, and, seeing her mistress
• 15:01
  Speaker 12: thrown on the ground trussed up like a football, exclaims
• 15:05
  Speaker 12: coarse help, runs down, amazed, swears that her mistress's neck
• 15:10
  Speaker 12: is broke. Up comes her husband and neighbors, and, finding
• 15:14
  Speaker 12: her thus trust Some flatly said she was bewitched. Others
• 15:19
  Speaker 12: she was possessed a third said for her pride, the
• 15:23
  Speaker 12: devil had set her face where her rump should stand.
• 15:26
  Speaker 12: But at last her valiant husband steps me boldly to
• 15:29
  Speaker 12: her helps her. She is ashamed, her husband amazed. The
• 15:33
  Speaker 12: neighbors laughing as none forbear. She tells them of the
• 15:37
  Speaker 12: fatal accident, to which one answers that if her husband
• 15:41
  Speaker 12: would leave his trade and carry his wife about to
• 15:44
  Speaker 12: do this trick in public, she'd get more gold than
• 15:47
  Speaker 12: all the baboons, calves with two tails or motions, whatsoever?
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: You are a wag taffeta above he.
• 15:55
  Speaker 11: Will be gone if we neglect to stay him.
• 15:57
  Speaker 19: Shall I cough or sneeze?
• 15:59
  Speaker 11: No stand aside? Ah me my handkerchief, Adriana fabia, mistress
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: run run, I have let my handkerchief fall. Gentlemen, Shall
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: I entreat a courtesy.
• 16:12
  Speaker 14: Within my power? Your beauty shall command? What courtesy is?
• 16:16
  Speaker 11: To stoop and take up my handkerchief.
• 16:19
  Speaker 14: Your desire is performed, sir.
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: Most hearty. Thanks, please you come in. Your welcome shall
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: transcend your expectation.
• 16:27
  Speaker 14: I accept your courtesy. Ah, what's this? Assailed by fear
• 16:32
  Speaker 14: and hope in a moment, Boucher, This womanish passion fits
• 16:36
  Speaker 14: not men who know the worth of freedom, shall smiles
• 16:40
  Speaker 14: and eyes, with their lascivious glances conquer him? Hath still
• 16:44
  Speaker 14: been lord of his affections? Shall simpering niceness Loadstone's butts
• 16:48
  Speaker 14: or fools attract a knowing spirit? It shall? It does not. Phoebus,
• 16:55
  Speaker 14: rising from Aurora's lap, spreads his bright rays with more
• 16:58
  Speaker 14: majestic grace than came the glances from her quickening eye.
• 17:02
  Speaker 14: And what of this, by my troth?
• 17:04
  Speaker 12: I know not?
• 17:05
  Speaker 14: I will not enter. Continued flames burns strong. I yet
• 17:10
  Speaker 14: am free, and reason keeps her seat above all fond affections.
• 17:15
  Speaker 14: Oh yet is she fair?
• 17:17

• 17:36
  Speaker 19: Her name, sir, is Mistress Changeable, late wife to Master
• 17:40
  Speaker 19: Taffeta Mercer deceased.
• 17:44
  Speaker 14: I have heard she is both rich and beautiful.
• 17:48
  Speaker 19: India as of such as love her judge yourself, please you,
• 17:52
  Speaker 19: but prick forward and enter exit boucher now.
• 17:57
  Speaker 12: While I fall aboard the waiting maid.
• 18:00
  Speaker 19: Fall aboard of me. Just take me for a ship.
• 18:03
  Speaker 12: Aye, and will shoot you betwixt wind and water.
• 18:06
  Speaker 19: Blood, Master gunner Urlin stocks too short foot?
• 18:12
  Speaker 12: How did she know that just his sweetheart? Should not
• 18:16
  Speaker 12: the page be doing with the maid whilst the master
• 18:19
  Speaker 12: is busy with the mistress. Please you prick forwards. Thou
• 18:23
  Speaker 12: art a wench likely to go the way of all flesh?
• 18:26
  Speaker 19: Shortly, whose witty neighbor are thou.
• 18:29
  Speaker 12: At your service?
• 18:31
  Speaker 19: At mine faith?
• 18:33
  Speaker 12: I should breach d how breach me?
• 18:36
  Speaker 19: Hi've breach ed e? I've breached a taller man, and
• 18:39
  Speaker 19: you in my time come in and welcome exit.
• 18:45
  Speaker 12: Well, I see now a rich, well practiced board may
• 18:49
  Speaker 12: pass more fees in a summer's progress than a well
• 18:53
  Speaker 12: traded lawyer in a whole term panderism. Why it has
• 18:58
  Speaker 12: grown a liberal science or a new sect. And the
• 19:02
  Speaker 12: good professor's will like the brownest frequent gravel pitch shortly,
• 19:07
  Speaker 12: for they use woods and obscure holes.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Already exit and to Tafada and Boucher.
• 19:13
  Speaker 11: Not marry a widow? No, and why be like you
• 19:17
  Speaker 11: think it base and servant, like to feed upon revision.
• 19:20
  Speaker 11: You hold us widows, but as a pie thrust to
• 19:22
  Speaker 11: the lower end that hath had many fingers in before,
• 19:25
  Speaker 11: and is reserved for gross and hungry stomachs.
• 19:28
  Speaker 14: You much mistake me.
• 19:29
  Speaker 11: Come in faith, you do, and let me tell you
• 19:32
  Speaker 11: that's but ceremony. For though the pie be broken up before,
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: yet says the proverb, the deeper is the sweeter. And
• 19:39
  Speaker 11: though a capon's wing and leg be carved, the flesh
• 19:41
  Speaker 11: left with the rump, I hope is sweet. I tell you, sir,
• 19:45
  Speaker 11: I have been wooed and sued to by worthy knights
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: of fair domains. Nay more, they have been out of debt.
• 19:51
  Speaker 11: Yet till this hour, I neither could endure to be
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: in love or be beloved. But profferred wear is cheap.
• 19:58
  Speaker 11: What's lawful that is loathed, and things denied are with
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: more stronger appetite pursued. I am too yielding.
• 20:05
  Speaker 14: You mistake my thoughts. But no thou wonder of this
• 20:09
  Speaker 14: continent by one more skilled in unknown faith than was
• 20:12
  Speaker 14: the blind decay and prophet twas foretold, a widow should
• 20:16
  Speaker 14: endanger both my life, my soul, my lands and reputation.
• 20:22
  Speaker 14: This checks my thoughts and cools the essential fire of
• 20:25
  Speaker 14: sacred love more ardent in my breast than speech can utter.
• 20:29
  Speaker 11: A trivial idol jests for a man. If your reputant
• 20:32
  Speaker 11: note to credit fortune tellers, a petty rogue that never
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: saw five shillings in a heap will take upon him
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: to divine men's fate, yet never knows himself, shall die
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: a beggar, or be hanged up for pilfering. Tablecloth, shirts
• 20:44
  Speaker 11: and smocks hang out to dry on hedges. 'tis merely
• 20:47
  Speaker 11: base to trust them. Or if there be a man
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: in whom the Delphic god hath breathed his too divining fire,
• 20:52
  Speaker 11: that can foretell the fixed decree of fate, he likewise
• 20:56
  Speaker 11: knows what is within the everlasting book of destiny. To
• 20:58
  Speaker 11: creed cannot buy wit or man's intervention, be dissolved or shunned.
• 21:02
  Speaker 11: And give thy love free scope, embrace and kiss, And
• 21:06
  Speaker 11: to the distaff sisters leave the event.
• 21:08
  Speaker 14: How powerful are their words? Whom we affect? Small force
• 21:13
  Speaker 14: shall need to win the strongest fault. If to his
• 21:16
  Speaker 14: state the captain b perfidious, I must entreat you, license
• 21:21
  Speaker 14: my depart for some few hours.
• 21:23
  Speaker 11: Choose what you will of time there lies your way
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: moves away.
• 21:27
  Speaker 14: I will entreat her stay.
• 21:30
  Speaker 11: Do you call sir, No, then fare you well.
• 21:35
  Speaker 14: Who begins to love needs not a second hell.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Exit boucher and to Adriana.
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: Adriana makes he no stay, Mistress, I pray thee see
• 21:45
  Speaker 11: if he have left the house, peep close, see but
• 21:48
  Speaker 11: not be seen. Is he gone?
• 21:51
  Speaker 19: No? He has made us stand.
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: I pray thee keep close, nay.
• 21:56
  Speaker 19: Keep you close, you'd best?
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: What does he now?
• 22:01
  Speaker 19: Now he retires?
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: Re enter boucher below, Oh you much partial gods?
• 22:07
  Speaker 14: Why gave you men affections and not power to govern them?
• 22:12
  Speaker 14: What I, by fate should shun? I most effect a widow.
• 22:17
  Speaker 11: A widow blows the wind.
• 22:19
  Speaker 19: There he is in the faith You've drawn him. Now
• 22:24
  Speaker 19: within your purlus, Mistress.
• 22:26
  Speaker 14: Tut, I will not love. My rational and better parts
• 22:30
  Speaker 14: shall conquer blind affections. Let passion children or weak women sway.
• 22:35
  Speaker 14: My love shall to my judgment. Still obey exit.
• 22:40
  Speaker 11: What does he know? He's gone gone, Adriana.
• 22:44
  Speaker 19: He went his way and never looked behind him.
• 22:47
  Speaker 11: Sure he's taken.
• 22:49
  Speaker 19: A little singed or so? Each thing must have beginning.
• 22:54
  Speaker 19: Men must prepare before they can come on and show
• 22:57
  Speaker 19: their loves in pleasing swords. The man must do in
• 23:02
  Speaker 19: time for love good mistress is much like two wags.
• 23:07
  Speaker 19: The mort is rubbed, it sticks to faster two, or
• 23:12
  Speaker 19: like a bird in birdlon or a pitfall. The more
• 23:16
  Speaker 19: he labors still, the.
• 23:18
  Speaker 11: Deeper in come. Thou must help me. Now I have
• 23:21
  Speaker 11: a trick to second this beginning, and then the neck
• 23:23
  Speaker 11: to strike it dead. In faith. Women must woo when
• 23:26
  Speaker 11: men forget what nature leads them.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: To excellent and their throats. The lawyer from his study
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: books and bags of money on a table, a chair
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: and cushion.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: Taste, phoebe splendor. There's that left yet next to my
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: book Claro micante arrow Ah, that's the soul of law.
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: That's it, that's it for which the backgroum bag must
• 23:52
  Speaker 5: trudgele all weathers I scarcely filled with one poor replication.
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: How happy are we that we joy the law so
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: freely as we do? Not bought and sold, but clearly
• 24:06
  Speaker 5: given without all basic storting taking, but bear ten angels
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: for a fee or upward to this renowned as state.
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: Have I, by indirect and cunning means inwoven myself, and
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: now can scratch it out, thrust at a bar and
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: cry my lord as loud as eir a listed government
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: of them all. I never plead before the honored bench,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: but bench right worshipful of peaceful justices and country gentlemen.
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: And yet I've found good gettings by the mass besides
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: odd sheets, will small shanks, lands, and many garboils.
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: More dash and to dash, sir.
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: Is that rejoined are done done?
• 24:56
  Speaker 16: Sir?
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Have you drawn at length? Have you teshed it out
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: according to your name?
• 25:03
  Speaker 7: Some seven score sheets?
• 25:05
  Speaker 5: Is the demurrh drawn TwixT Snipe and Woodcock? And what
• 25:09
  Speaker 5: do you say to Peacock's pitiful bill?
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: I've drawn his answer negative to all.
• 25:15
  Speaker 5: Negative to all. The plaintiff says that William Goose was
• 25:19
  Speaker 5: Sun to Thomas Goose, And will he swear the general
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: bill is false?
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: He will?
• 25:26
  Speaker 5: Then he forswears his father tis will some of our
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: clients will go prin to hill before ourselves, as he paid.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: All his fees, he left them all with me.
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: Then trust my points, And how think'st thou of law?
• 25:42
  Speaker 7: Most reverently? Law is the world's great light, a second
• 25:46
  Speaker 7: son to this terrestrial globe by which all things have
• 25:49
  Speaker 7: life and being, and without which confusion and disorder soon
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: would seize the general state of men. War's outrages, the
• 25:56
  Speaker 7: ulcerous deeds of peace at curbs and cures. It's the
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: Kingdom's eye by which she sees the acts and thoughts
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: of men.
• 26:02
  Speaker 5: The Kingdom's eye, I tell thee fool. It is the
• 26:06
  Speaker 5: Kingdom's nose by which she smells out all these rich transgressors.
• 26:12
  Speaker 5: Nor is to flesh, but merely made of wax. And
• 26:16
  Speaker 5: tis within the power of us lawyers to rest this
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: nose of wax, which way we please? Or it may be,
• 26:23
  Speaker 5: is thou sayst an eye indeed, But if it be,
• 26:26
  Speaker 5: tis sure a woman's eye that's ever rolling.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Knock within one knock, go.
• 26:33
  Speaker 5: See who tis? Stay my cheer and gown, and didn't
• 26:37
  Speaker 5: go see who knocks? Thus must I seem a lawyer,
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: which am, indeed, but merely drigs an off scum of
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: the law.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: And to Boucher dash and constantia ah.
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: She cassimo primo alberti magni is very.
• 26:53
  Speaker 14: Clear, God save you, sir.
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: The place is very pregnant. Master Boucher, most hearty welcome.
• 27:02
  Speaker 14: Sir, you ply this gear. You are no truant in
• 27:05
  Speaker 14: the law. I see faith.
• 27:07
  Speaker 5: Some hundred books in folio I have turned over to
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: bitter my own knowledge.
• 27:12
  Speaker 14: But that is nothing for a studient or a stationer.
• 27:16
  Speaker 14: They turned them over too, but not as you do,
• 27:19
  Speaker 14: gentle master Throat. And what the law speaks, prophet? Does
• 27:24
  Speaker 14: it not?
• 27:25
  Speaker 6: Faith?
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Some bad angels haunt us now and then? But what
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: brought you he that?
• 27:31
  Speaker 14: Why these small.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: Legs you are conceited?
• 27:34
  Speaker 9: Sir?
• 27:35
  Speaker 14: I am in law, But let that go, and tell
• 27:38
  Speaker 14: me how you do? How does will small Shanks and
• 27:41
  Speaker 14: his lovely bride in troth?
• 27:43
  Speaker 5: You might be blush? I should have asked his health
• 27:46
  Speaker 5: of you, but it is not yet too light.
• 27:49
  Speaker 14: Nay, good, sir Throat, forbear your quillets now, by.
• 27:52
  Speaker 5: Heaven, I deal most plain. I saw him, not since
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: last I took his mortgage.
• 27:57
  Speaker 14: Sir, be not nice yet I must needs herein commend
• 28:02
  Speaker 14: your love to let me see him, for no I
• 28:05
  Speaker 14: know him wed, and that he stole away Summerfield's heir.
• 28:09
  Speaker 14: Therefore suspect me, not I am his friend.
• 28:13
  Speaker 5: How when to rich Somerfield's only heir is old Somerfield dead?
• 28:19
  Speaker 14: Do you make it strange?
• 28:21
  Speaker 16: Oh?
• 28:21
  Speaker 5: Heaven I know it not?
• 28:22
  Speaker 14: Then am I grieved? I speak so much? But that
• 28:26
  Speaker 14: I know you love him? I should entreat your secrecy, sir,
• 28:30
  Speaker 14: fare you well.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: Nay, good sir, stay thought you can disclose of master smallshanks.

  Speaker 14: His good hap you much endear him, sir, And from
• 28:45
  Speaker 14: your love I dare presume you make yourself a fortune
• 28:48
  Speaker 14: if his fair hopes proceed. Say on, good, sir, will
• 28:52
  Speaker 14: you be secret?
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Or be my tongue torn out?
• 28:55
  Speaker 14: Fair measure for a lawyer. But to the point he
• 28:59
  Speaker 14: has stole Somerfield's heir, hither brings her as to a
• 29:03
  Speaker 14: man on whom he may rely his life and fortunes.
• 29:07
  Speaker 14: You hath he named already for the steward of his lands,
• 29:10
  Speaker 14: to keep his colts, and to collect his rent, to
• 29:13
  Speaker 14: let out leases, and to raise his fines. Nothing that
• 29:17
  Speaker 14: may or love or profit bring but you are named
• 29:21
  Speaker 14: the man.
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: I am his slave, and bound unto his noble courtesy.
• 29:27
  Speaker 5: Even with my life, I ever said he would thrive,
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: and I protest I kept his forefoot mortgage to let
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: him know what is to live in what.
• 29:39
  Speaker 14: I think no less one more word in private.
• 29:44
  Speaker 12: Walk aside, good master, dashall I put you now a case.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: Speak on good master page.
• 29:50
  Speaker 12: Then thus it is suppose I am a page, he
• 29:54
  Speaker 12: is my master. My master goes to bed and cannot
• 29:57
  Speaker 12: tell what money is in his hose. Next day have
• 30:01

• 30:05
  Speaker 7: An action boy called firking the posteriors with us, your
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: action seldom comes in question, for that is known that
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: most of your gallants are seldom so well stored that
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: they forget what money is in their hose. But if
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: they have, there's no other help than swear the page
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: and put him to his oath.
• 30:24
  Speaker 12: Then, for Clare does think he that has conscience to
• 30:28
  Speaker 12: steal has not a conscience likewise to deny, then hang
• 30:32
  Speaker 12: him up.

  Speaker 12: Indeed, But dost thou think the widow will have my master?
• 51:37
  Speaker 19: I'll tell thee then won't come? I will remember?
• 51:44
  Speaker 11: Will you perform so much?
• 51:45
  Speaker 14: Or lose my blood?
• 51:47
  Speaker 11: Make him subscribe it, and then I vow, by sacred
• 51:50
  Speaker 11: vestas ever hallowed fire, to take thee to.
• 51:53
  Speaker 14: My bed till then farewell.
• 51:56
  Speaker 11: He's worthy love, whose virtues most excel to Constantia.
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: Remember exit Boucher and Constantia.
• 52:05
  Speaker 19: What is it a match betwixt you, Mistress?
• 52:09
  Speaker 11: I have set the fool in hope he has undertook
• 52:11
  Speaker 11: to in me of that fleshly captain puff which swears
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: in tarots and all ordinaries, that I am his lawful wife.
• 52:17
  Speaker 11: He shall allay the fury of the captain, and I
• 52:20
  Speaker 11: secure will laugh at the disgrace they both.
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: Endure excellent and the throat and francis open your case,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: and I shall soon resolve you.
• 52:31
  Speaker 18: But will you do it truly? As I am honest,
• 52:35
  Speaker 18: This gentleman, whom I so much affect I scarcely, yet
• 52:39
  Speaker 18: do know? So blind is love in things which most
• 52:42
  Speaker 18: concerns it? As you honest tell me his birth, his state,
• 52:46
  Speaker 18: his furthest hopes.
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: He is my friend, and I will speak him truly.
• 52:52
  Speaker 5: He is my birth son to a foolish knight. His
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: present state, I think will be the prison and father'st
• 53:00
  Speaker 5: hope to be bailed out again by sale of oil
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: your land.
• 53:04
  Speaker 18: Oh mere cursed? Has he no credit? Lands and manners?
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: That land he has lies in a fair churchyard. And
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: for his manners they are so rude and vile that
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: scarce an honest man will keep him company.
• 53:19
  Speaker 18: I am abused, cozened, and deceived.
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: Why that's his occupation. He will cheat in a cloak
• 53:25
  Speaker 5: lined with velvet. He will prate faster than five barbers,
• 53:28
  Speaker 5: and a tailor lie faster than ten city occupiers or
• 53:32
  Speaker 5: cunning tradesmen. Goes a trust in every tavern where he
• 53:36
  Speaker 5: has spent a faggot, swears love to every hare squire's boards,
• 53:42
  Speaker 5: and takes up houses for them as their husband. He
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: is a man I love, and have done much to
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: bring him to preferment.
• 53:49
  Speaker 18: Is there no trust? No honesty in men?
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: Faith? Some there is, and tis all in the hands
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: of us lawyers and women. And those women which have
• 54:00
  Speaker 5: it keep their honesty so close that not one amongst
• 54:04
  Speaker 5: a hundred is perceived to have it.
• 54:06
  Speaker 18: Good Sir, May I not, by law forsake him and
• 54:09
  Speaker 18: wed another, though my word be passed to be his wife?
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: Oh questionless you may you have many precedents and bookcases
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: for it. Nay, though you are married by a bookcase
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: of milessimo, sexcentissimo, et cetera, you may forsake your husband
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: and wed another, provided that some fault be in the husband,
• 54:32
  Speaker 5: as none of them are clear.
• 54:34
  Speaker 18: I am resolved. I will not wed him, though I
• 54:37
  Speaker 18: beg my bread.
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: All that I have is yours, And were I worthy
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: to be your husband?
• 54:44
  Speaker 18: I thank you, sir. I will rather wed a most
• 54:47
  Speaker 18: perfidious bread shanks, a noted dew or some mechanic slave,
• 54:51
  Speaker 18: than let him join in my sheets.

• 55:15
  Speaker 16: but now is made a curate.

  Speaker 6: With that money, I shall make three several cloaks and
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 6: line them with black crimson and twenty three plied velvet.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 6: I would eat at chairs ordinary and dice at Antony's.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 6: Then would I keep my whore in beaten velvet and

• 1:01:55
  Speaker 6: throat from cutting if he presume to woo the widow
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 6: clipped taffe. She is my wife by oath. Therefore take heed.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 6: Let me not catch THEE in the widow's house. If
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 6: I do, I'll pick thee head upon my sword and
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 6: piss in thy very visional me. Beware, beware, come there
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 6: no more a captain's word flies not too fierce as
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 6: doth tis fatal sword Exit Puff.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: How like you this shall we endure this thunder? Or
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: go no further?
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: We will on, Sir Oliver, We will on. Let me
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 3: alone to touch him. I wonder how my spirit did
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: forbear to strike him on the face. Had this been
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: spoke with in my liberties, it had died for it.
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: Re Enter, Captain Puff.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: I was about to draw.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 6: If you come here, thy beard shall serve to stuff

  Speaker 6: those balls by which I get me heat at tennis.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Exit Puff?
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: Is he gone? I Woody Durst has stood to this
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: a while. Well, I shall catch him in a narrow
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 3: room where neither of us can flinch. If I do,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: I'll make him dance a trench more to my sword.
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: Come all along with you to the widow. We will
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: not be outbraved. Take my word, will not be wronged.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 3: While I can draw a sword.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: Excellent and the throat, and two other gentlemen.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 5: Let the coach stay at shoelane end be ready, let
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 5: the boots stand open, and when she's in, hurry towards
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 5: Saint Giles in the fields, as if the devil himself
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 5: were waggoner. Now for an arm of oak and hearts
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 5: of steel to bear away the wench. To get a wife,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: a gentlewoman, a maid, nay, which is more an honest maid,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 5: and which is most of all a rich and honest maid.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: Oh jove, old jove, for a man to wed such
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: a wife as this is to dwell in the suburbs
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 5: of heaven.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 17: Is she so exquisite?
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 13: Sir?
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: She is rich and a great heir.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 17: Tis the more dangerous.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 5: Dangerous lord, weell be those gallant spirits. The time has
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: been when scarce an honest woman, much less a winch,
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: could pass an inn of court. But some of the
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 5: fry would have been doing with her. I knew the
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: day when Shred's a tailor coming once late by an
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 5: inn of chancery, was laid along and muffled in his cloak.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: His wife took in, stitched up, turned out again, and
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: he persuaded it all was but in jest. Those brave
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 5: boys are gone. These which are left a weary lad's
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 5: live pouring on their books and give their linen to
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 5: their laundresses. By tale, they now can save their purses.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 5: I knew when every gallant had his man, But now
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 5: a twelvepenny weekly laundress will serve the turn to half
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 5: a dozen of them. And to dash, Here comes my man,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 5: What news, as.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 7: You would wish. The lady Somerfield has come to town. Her
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 7: horse is yet a walking and her men say her
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 7: only daughter is conveyed away. No man knows how. Now
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 7: to it, Master, you and your servant Dash are made
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 7: forever if you but stick to it.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 5: Gentlemen, now show yourselves at full and not a man
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 5: but shares a fortune with me if I speed.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: Enter William small Shanks, Boucher, Thomas small Shanks, Francis, and
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 1: Beard with a torch to fear not us.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 17: Be sure you'll run away and we'll perform the quarrel.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 16: Stand close they come, Are sure he will be here?
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 18: Most sure?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 16: Beard, sir, bear up the torch and keep your way
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 16: apace directly to the savoy.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: Have you a license? Look to that brother before you marry,
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: For fear the person lose his benefice.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 16: Tot our cure it craves no a license. He swears
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 16: his living came to him by a miracle. How by miracle,
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 16: why he paid nothing for it. He swears that few
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 16: be free from simony, but only Welshman, and those, he says, too,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 16: are but mountain priests.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 14: But hang him fool, he lies? What's his reason?
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 16: His reason is this, that all their livings are so
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 16: rude and bad that not a man will venture his
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 16: damnation by giving money for them. He does protest there
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 16: is but two pair of hose and shoes in all
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 16: his parish.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 13: Hold up your life, sir, Shall I be taught how
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 13: to advance my torch?
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 16: What's the matter, Lieutenant?
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 17: You're lieutenants?
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 13: An ass how an ass diamond like dogs, old.

  Speaker 13: Are me in.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 14: Your wife is gone, gone gone?
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 16: How which way? This is some plot.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 4: Down toward fleet Bridge.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 16: Follow follow, follow.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 17: So here's the wench. Let's pursue aloof and see the event.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 17: This will prove good mirth when things in shape shall
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 17: have a perfect birth.

  Speaker 1: Exit And to William small shanks boucher Thomas a small
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: shanks and bed their swords drawn.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 16: Tis a thing impossible. They should be gone thus far
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 16: and we not see them.
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 4: Upon my life. They went in by the greyhound, and
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: so struck into Bridewell.
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 14: What should she make there?
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: Take water at the dock.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 13: Water at dock our fico for her dock. You'll not
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 13: be ruled, You'll still be opposited upon my face. She
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 13: took a long shoe lane, and so went home home, Aye, home?
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 13: How could she choose but go seeing so many naked
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 13: tools at once drawn in the street.
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 4: What scurvy luck was this?
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 16: Come? We will find her or we'll fire the suburbs.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 16: Put up your tools. Let's first along shoe lane, then
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 16: straight up Hoburn. If we find her not, we'll thence
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 16: direct to throats. If she be lost, I am undone,
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 16: and all your hopes are crossed.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: Excellent and de sir Oliver, smallshanks, just as touching mistress
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: tafferda Adriana.
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: Widow must be short, Sir Oliver, will you shame yourself? Ha,
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 3: you must be short? Why what a word was that?
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 3: To tell a widow?
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: I meant I must be brief?
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 6: Why say so?
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 13: Then?
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 3: Yet that's almost as ill go to speak on widow.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: I must be brief. What old men do, they must
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 2: do quickly?
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 11: Then, good sir, do it. Widows are seldom slow to
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 11: put men to it, and.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: Old men know their cues. My love, you know, has
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 2: been protested long, and now I come to make my
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: latest tender. An old grown oak can keep you from
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: the rain, and stands as fair and portly as the best.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 11: Yet search him well and we shall find no pith
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 11: or hearty timber to underlay a building.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: I would that oak had been a fire forward. Good,
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: Sir Oliver, your oak is not stick, not too much
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: to that.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: If you can like you shall be ladified, live at
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: the court, and soon be got with child. What do
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: you do you think we old men can do nothing?
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: This was somewhat like.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: You shall have jewels, a baboon parrot, and an Iceland dog,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: and I myself to bear you company. Your jointure is
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: five hundred pounds per year, besides your plate, your chains,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: and household stuff. When envious fate shall change this mortal life.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 11: But shall I not be over cloyed with love? Will
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 11: you not be too busy? Shall I keep my chamber
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 11: by the month? If I be pleased to take physic
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 11: to send for visitants, to have my maid read amadis
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 11: de gaul or don deel de fabau to me? Shall
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 11: I have a coach of the last edition the coachman
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 11: seat a good way from the coach, that if some
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 11: other ladies and myself chance to talk body, he may
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 11: not overhear.
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 2: Us all this and more?
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 11: Shall we have two chambers? And will you not presume
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 11: unto my bed till I shall call you by.
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: My waiting maid, not I by heaven.
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 11: And when I send her, will you not entice her
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 11: to your lust nor tumble her before you come to me?
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 19: Nay, let him do his worst. Make you make sure
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 19: and fear not me. I never yet did fear anything
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 19: my master could do to me.

  Speaker 2: with a drunkard. Have you any room backwards?

• 1:26:43
  Speaker 11: Rarely, sir, you are Mary, I am. Indeed, your supper, Sir,
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 11: was light. But I hope you think you're welcome.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 3: I do a light supper. Quoth you pray God? It
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: be pray God. I carry it cleanly. I am sure

  Speaker 3: it lies as heavy in my belly as malt lead.

  Speaker 3: Yet I'll go see my sister Summerfield.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 2: So late good justice.
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 3: Aye, even so late night is the mother of wit,
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 3: as you may see by poets or rather constables in
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: their examinations. At midnight we'll lie together without marrying, say
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 3: the curate's fees, and the parish of labor tis a
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 3: thriving course.
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 2: That may not be for excommunications. Then we'll flee.
• 1:27:24
  Speaker 16: That's true.
• 1:27:25
  Speaker 3: They fly, indeed, like wild geese in flocks, one in
• 1:27:28
  Speaker 3: the breach of another. But the best is a small
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 3: matter stays them.
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: And so farewell, farewell, good justice touch.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 1: In except justice touching.
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 2: Alas good gentleman, his brains are quazed. But let that
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 2: pass speak. Widow is the match? Shall we clap it up?
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 19: Nay, if it comes to clapping, good night you, faith mistress,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 19: look before you. There's nothing more dangerous to maid or
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 19: widow than sudden clappings up. Nothing has spoiled so many
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 19: proper ladies as clappings up. Your shittelkock striding from tables
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 19: to ground only to try the strength of the back
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 19: you're riding a hunting II, though they fall with their
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 19: heels upward and lay as if they were taking the
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 19: height of some high star with a cross staff. No,
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 19: nor your jumblings in horse litters, coaches or carouses have
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 19: spoiled so many women as clappings up.
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 2: Why then we'll chop it up.
• 1:28:36
  Speaker 11: That's not allowed unless you were sunned to a Welsh curate.
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 11: But faith, sir knight, I have a kind of itching
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 11: to be a lady that I can tell you whoo's
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 11: and can persuade with better rhetoric than oaths with wealth,
• 1:28:49
  Speaker 11: valor lands or person. I have some debts at court
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 11: and marrying you. I hope the courtiers will not stick
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 11: to pay me.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 2: Never fear that I payment. This will say for courtiers,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 2: they'll be sure to pay each other, however they deal
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 2: with citizens.
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 11: Then here's my hand. I am your wife. Condition we
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 11: be joined before tomorrow's sun.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 2: Nay even tonight, so you'll be pleased. With little warning, widow,
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: we old men can be ready, and thou shalt see
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 2: before the time that ganted clear shall call and tell
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: the day is near. When wenches lying on their backs
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 2: receive with joy their love stolen smacks, When maids, awaked
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: from their first sleep, deceived with dreams, begin to weep
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: and think if dreams such pleasure, know what sport the
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 2: substance them would show. When a lady gins white limbs
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 2: to spread her love, but new stolen to her bed
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: his cotton shoes, yet scarce put off and dares not laugh, speak,
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 2: sneeze or cough. When precise dames begin to think why
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 2: their gross lowering husbands stink? What pleasure for them to enjoy?
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 2: A nimble vicar a boy before this time, thou shalt
• 1:30:04
  Speaker 2: behold me quaffing out our bridle bowl.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 19: Then be like before the morning sun.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 11: You will be coupled, Yes, faith, Adriana, well.
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 19: I will look. You shall have a clean snock provided
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 19: that you paid a fee, sir Oliver. Since my mistress, sir,
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 19: will be a lady, I'll lose no fees due to
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 19: the waiting maid.
• 1:30:28
  Speaker 2: Why is there a fee belonging to it?
• 1:30:31
  Speaker 10: A night?
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 19: And never heard of smock fees? I would have had
• 1:30:35
  Speaker 19: a monopoly of them, so there were no imposts said
• 1:30:38
  Speaker 19: upon them?
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 1: And William small.
• 1:30:40
  Speaker 6: Shanks, whom have we here?
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 11: What?
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 2: My mad headed son? What makes he here so late?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 13: Say?
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 2: I am gone, and I the whilst will step behind
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 2: the hangings.
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 16: God bless the parcel of man's flesh?
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 11: How, sir?
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 16: Why parcel of man's flesh? Art not a woman? But widow?
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 16: Where's the old stinkered my father? They say, widow, you
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 16: dance together after his pipe?
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 2: What?
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 11: Then?
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 16: That a fool? I'll assure thee there's no music in it?
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 11: Can you play better better?
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 16: Widow? Blood? Dost think I have not learned my prick song?
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 16: What not? The court prick song?
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 2: One not?
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 16: And another down? Why I have to a hair by
• 1:31:30
  Speaker 16: this light? I hope thou lovest him?
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 11: Not I'll marry him, sir.
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 16: Now marry him? Fool? Art mad widow would marry an
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 16: old crazed man with meager looks with visage, one with
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 16: little legs and crinkled thighs, with chapfallen gums and deep
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 16: sunk eyes. Why a dog seized on ten days by
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 16: death stinks not so loathsome as his breath, Nor can
• 1:31:59
  Speaker 16: a city common jakes, which all men's breeches undertakes yield
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 16: fasting stomachs, such a savor as doth his breath, and
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 16: ugly favor assigned woke.
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 19: That's all one, sir.
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 16: She means to be a lady, does she so? And
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 16: thou must be her waiting woman. Faith, thou wilt make
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 16: a fine dainty creature to sit at a chamber door
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 16: and look flees in my lady's dog while she is
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 16: showing some slippery breeched courtier rare faces in a bay window.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 16: Foot widow, marry me a young and complete gallant.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 11: How a complete gallant? What a fellow with a hat
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 11: tucked up behind? And what we use about our hips
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 11: to keep our coats from dabbling? He wears around his
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 11: neck a farthing gale a standing collar to keep his
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 11: neckband clean, the whilst his shirt doth stink and is
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 11: more foul than an in of chancery tablecloth. His breech
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 11: is be plaited, as if he had some thirty pockets,
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 11: when one poor halfpenny purse will carry all his treasures.
• 1:33:06
  Speaker 11: His knees all points, as if his legs and hands
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 11: were tied together. A fellow that has no insides but
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 11: praised by wrote as players and parrots used to do,
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 11: and to define a complete gallant right. A mercer formed him,
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 11: a tailor makes him, and a player gives him spirit.
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 16: Why so in my conscience to be a countess thou
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 16: wouldst to marry a hedgehog. I must confess to his state.
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 16: To have a coxcomb kiss your hands, while yet the
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 16: chamber lie is scarce wiped off, to have an upright
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 16: usher marched before you, bare headed in a tough to fart.
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 16: A jerkin made of your old cast gown shows passing well.
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 16: But when you feel your husband's pulse, that's hell. Then
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 16: you fly out and bid straight smocks farewell.
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 11: I hope, sir, whatever our husbands be, we may be honest.
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 16: Maybe may yeah. Women and honesty are so near allied
• 1:34:03
  Speaker 16: as parsons. Lives are to their doctrines, one and the same.
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 16: But widow now be ruled. I hope the heavens will
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 16: give THEE better grace than to accept the father. And
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 16: I yet live to be bestowed. If you wed the stinkered,
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 16: you shall find the tale of Tantalus to be no fable.

  Speaker 11: Best, come not near me. I forbid THEE. My house,
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 11: my outhouse, is my garden, my orchard, and my backside.

• 1:35:02
  Speaker 2: graced with the piece of rosemary. I can hear THEE

• 1:35:23
  Speaker 16: What miracle shall I now undertake to win respective grace
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 16: with God and men. What if I turned courtier and
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 16: lived honest? Sure that would do? I dare not walk
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 16: the streets, for I dwindle at a sergeant in buff

• 1:44:26
  Speaker 23: Where's the captain? Gentlemen?
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 16: Stand back, boy, and be a spectator. Gentlemen, you shall
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 16: see the strange nature of an outlandish beast that has
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 16: but two legs, bearded like a man, nosed like a goose,
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 16: and tongued like a woman, lately brought from the land

• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: He holds up his hands instead of praying, sure.
• 1:45:20
  Speaker 12: This baboon is a great puritan?
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 14: Is not this strange?
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 16: Not a whit? By this light Banks his horse and
• 1:45:28
  Speaker 16: he were both taught in a stable.
• 1:45:31
  Speaker 6: Oh rare sounds, I'll first be damned, Shall sport be laughed?

• 1:46:17
  Speaker 16: is resolved to make my father a most fearful cookold,
• 1:46:21
  Speaker 16: and he's resolved to save his soul by her. How
• 1:46:25
  Speaker 16: by her, Thus all old men which marry young wives
• 1:46:30
  Speaker 16: shall questionless be saved, for while they're young they keep
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 16: other men's wives, and when they're old, they keep wives
• 1:46:39
  Speaker 16: for other men, And so by satisfaction procure salvation. Ah,

• 1:47:05
  Speaker 16: Then take up her gation for love alice. Sure, THEE
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 16: is a binder of all things under heaven. There's no
• 1:47:13
  Speaker 16: fitter parallels than a drunkard and a lover. For a
• 1:47:16
  Speaker 16: drunkard loses his senses, so does your lover. Your drunkard
• 1:47:21
  Speaker 16: is quarrelsome, so is your lover. Your drunkard will swear
• 1:47:26
  Speaker 16: lie and speak great words, so will your lover. Your
• 1:47:31
  Speaker 16: drunkard is most desirous of his lectury, and so is
• 1:47:35
  Speaker 16: your lover. Well the night grows old Farewell. I am

  Speaker 4: Though I have no wit, yet I can love a
• 1:48:07
  Speaker 4: wench and choose a wife.
• 1:48:09
  Speaker 17: Why, sir, what should you do with a wife that
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 17: are held none of the wisest. You'll get none but fools.
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 4: How fools? Why may not I a fool get a
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 4: wise child as well as wise men get fools? All lies?
• 1:48:22
  Speaker 4: But in the agility of the woman in troth. I
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 4: think all fools are got when their mothers sleep. Therefore

  Speaker 4: I'll never lie with my wife. But when she is
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 4: broad waking, stand to it. Otters friends, knock down the lieutenant,

  Speaker 13: They come by Jove, the night grows dark, and Luda
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 13: looks as if this hour some fifty cockles were making.

  Speaker 13: all my rage into his nose. Knight, Thou art a
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 13: hoar small shanks of rogue, And is my wedge took
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 13: from me? Sure I am gulled. This was no cockatrice.
• 1:49:26
  Speaker 13: I never saw her before this daylight peep'd what drops
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 13: thou head? This surely is the air? And mad will
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 13: small shanks lay in ambuscado to get her? Now from me?
• 1:49:37
  Speaker 13: Beard Lieutenant Beard, thou art an ass, What a dull
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 13: slave was I that all this while smelt not her honesty? Pate,
• 1:49:47
  Speaker 13: I do not pity thee hadst thou brains leftenant Beard
• 1:49:50

  Speaker 13: to be thus all reach'd in Pate and wench revenge,
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 13: revenge come up, and with thy curled locks cling to
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 13: my beard, small shanks, I will betray THEE. I will
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 13: trudge to Saint John's Street to inform the Lady Summerfield
• 1:50:09
  Speaker 13: where thou art, I will prevent the match. Thou art
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 13: Fleet Street gone. Revenge shall follow, and my uncensored wrath
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 13: shall like great thunder disperse thy hopes and thy brave wife.
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: Asunder exit and to Lady Somerfield.
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 3: And just as touching, say as I say, widow, the
• 1:50:30
  Speaker 3: wenche is gone, but I know where the stolen she is. Well,
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 3: I know by whom, say as I say, widow, I
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 3: have been drinking hard. Why say so, too old men?
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 3: They can be fine with small ado. The law is
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 3: not offended. I had no punk, nor in an alehouse
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 3: have I made me drunk. The statute is not broke.
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 3: I have the skill to drink by law. Then say
• 1:50:57
  Speaker 3: as I say.
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 10: Still, to what extremes doth this licentious time hurry unstayed youth,
• 1:51:05
  Speaker 10: nor gods, nor laws, whose penal scourges are enough to
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 10: save even damned fiends, can in this looser age confine
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 10: unbounded youth, who durst presume to steal my youth's delight,
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 10: my age's hope, her father's heir, and the last noble
• 1:51:24
  Speaker 10: stem of all her ancestors. Fear they, or God's or laws.
• 1:51:29
  Speaker 3: I say as you say, sister, But for the laws,
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 3: there are so many that men do stand in awe
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 3: of none at all. Take heed they steal. Not you
• 1:51:39
  Speaker 3: who woos a widow with a fair full moon shall
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 3: surely speed beware of full moon's widow. Will smallshanks has
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 3: your daughter no word, but mum, my warrant you shall
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 3: have when time shall come.
• 1:51:53
  Speaker 10: Your warrant.
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 3: I my warrant, widow. My warrant can stretch far no more,
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 3: or but so till serve to catch a knave or
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 3: fetch a doe.
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 1: And deserving man.
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 9: Here's a gentleman, much desirous to see you, madam.
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 10: What is he for a man?
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 9: Nothing for a man, but much for a beast, I
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 9: think a lunatic, for he demands what plate of his
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 9: are stirring in the house. He calls your men his butlers,
• 1:52:23
  Speaker 9: cooks and stewards, kisses your women, and makes exceedingly much
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 9: of your coachman's wife.
• 1:52:30
  Speaker 3: Then he's a gentleman. For tis a true note of
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 3: a gentleman to make much of other men's wives. Bring
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 3: him up, ah Siah, makes he much of your coachman's wife.
• 1:52:40
  Speaker 3: This gear will run a wheels. Then shortly a man
• 1:52:44
  Speaker 3: may make much more of another man's wife than he.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 6: Can do of his own.
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 10: How much brother.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 3: A man may make with ease, a punk, a child,
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 3: a bastard, a cockold of another man's wife, all at
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 3: a clap, And that is much, I think.
• 1:53:00
  Speaker 1: And de serving man and throat, that's.
• 1:53:02
  Speaker 5: My lady, for that thou first hast brought me to
• 1:53:06
  Speaker 5: her sight. I here create thee clerk of the kitchen.
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 5: No man shall beg it from thee.

• 1:53:16
  Speaker 10: What would you, sir? I guess your long profession by
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 10: your scant suit. Your habit seems to turn your inside
• 1:53:24
  Speaker 10: outward to me, Yeah, I think some turner of the law.
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 5: Law is my living, and on that ancient mold, I
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 5: wear this outside suit upon suit wastes some yet makes
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 5: me thrive. First law, then gold, then love, and then
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 5: we wive.
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 3: A man of form like me. But what's your business?
• 1:53:44

  Speaker 16: a wife that scarce can wipe his nose, untrust his points,
• 1:59:11
  Speaker 16: or hold a chamber pot steady till he pisses. The

  Speaker 16: shall this chain procure access and conference with the widow?
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 16: What though I'd cheat my father? Or men have sins?

  Speaker 16: Though in their several kinds, all ends in this so

  Speaker 11: I am none of those. Stand up. I more desire

  Speaker 11: a man should stand than cringe and creep. That means
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 11: to win my love. I say, stand up and let
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 11: me go.
• 2:03:25

  Speaker 16: I know you cannot love my father, A widow that
• 2:05:55
  Speaker 16: has known the quid of things to dote upon, an
• 2:05:58
  Speaker 16: old and crazy man that stinks at both ends, worse
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 16: than an elder pipe, who, when his blood and spirit
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 16: are at the height, hath not a member to his
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 16: palsy body, but is more limber than a king's head.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 16: Pudding took from the pot half sod? Do I not
• 2:06:18
  Speaker 16: know this? Have you not wealth enough to serve us both?
• 2:06:23
  Speaker 16: And am I not a pretty handsome fellow to do

  Speaker 16: your drudgery? Come, Come, resolve for by my blood. If
• 2:06:34
  Speaker 16: you deny your bed, I'll cut your throat without equivocation.
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 16: If you be pleased, hold up your finger. If not,
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 16: by heaven, I'll go my winyard through your womb. Is

  Speaker 11: dare not wed. Men say you're not, you'll cheat? And
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 11: you do keep a whore?
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 16: That is a lie. She keeps herself and me. Yet
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 16: I protest she's not dishonest?
• 2:07:25
  Speaker 11: How could she maintain you.
• 2:07:27
  Speaker 16: Why by her comings in a little thing her friends
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 16: have left her, which, with putting to best use and
• 2:07:34
  Speaker 16: often turning, yields her a poor living. But what of
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 16: that she's now shook off to thee. I'll only cleave.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 16: I'll be thy merchant, and to this wealthy fair, I'll
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 16: bring my wear, and here set up my standing. Therefore
• 2:07:50
  Speaker 16: resolve naught. But my sword is left. If it be
• 2:07:55
  Speaker 16: a match, clap hands, contract and straight to bed. If not,
• 2:08:00
  Speaker 16: pray forgive, and straight goes off your head. I take
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 16: thy love, ben straight, let both to bed.
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 11: I'll wed tomorrow.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 16: You shall not sleep upon. An honest contract is as
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 16: good as marriage. A bird in hand. You know the
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 16: proverb widow.
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 11: Oh, let me tell THEE. I'll love THEE while I live.
• 2:08:23
  Speaker 11: For this attempt. Give me that lusty lad that wins
• 2:08:26
  Speaker 11: his widow with a well drawn blade, and not with
• 2:08:28
  Speaker 11: oaths and word. A widow's wooing, not in bare words,
• 2:08:31
  Speaker 11: but should consist in doing. I take THEE to my husband, I.
• 2:08:36
  Speaker 16: THEE to wife. Now to thy bed, and there will
• 2:08:41
  Speaker 16: end this strife.
• 2:08:42
  Speaker 1: Excellent and Tessa Oliver and Fiddler's.
• 2:08:46
  Speaker 2: Warm blad, the young man's slave, the old man's God
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 2: makes me to stir this soon. It stirs a faith,
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 2: and with a kind of itching, pricks me on to
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 2: bid my bride bonjour. Oh, this desires even another filched
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 2: Promethean fire by which we old men live. Performance, then,
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 2: is that poor old men's bane that in old men
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 2: comes limping off? More lame God knows than he which
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 2: in a close are hot and dangerous fight has been
• 2:09:15
  Speaker 2: dismembered from craves by letters patents. Yet scarce a woman
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 2: that considers this. Women have tricks, ferks and farthing gales.
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 2: A generation as a full of subtlety and almost honest
• 2:09:29
  Speaker 2: where they want the means to be otherwise, therefore I'll
• 2:09:33
  Speaker 2: have an eye. My widow goes not off to visit
• 2:09:35
  Speaker 2: kinsok by birth she is a ninny, and that I
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 2: know is not in London held the smallest kindred. I
• 2:09:42
  Speaker 2: must have winds and brains. Come on, my friends, out
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 2: with your tools and do it a strain of mouth
• 2:09:49
  Speaker 2: and a pleasant song to wake the widow.
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 1: And so William small Shanks above in his shirt.
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 16: Musicians, minstrels, rogues for God's love, leave your filthy squeaking
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 16: noise and get you gone. The widow, and myself will
• 2:10:07
  Speaker 16: scramble out the shaking of the sheets without music. We
• 2:10:11
  Speaker 16: have no need of fiddlers to our dancing. Have you
• 2:10:16
  Speaker 16: no manners? Cannot a man take his natural rest for
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 16: your scraping. I shall wash your gut strings if you
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 16: but stay Awhile yet, honest rascals, if you'll let us
• 2:10:30
  Speaker 16: have two other crash the widow and I'll keep time.
• 2:10:35
  Speaker 16: There's for your pains.
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 1: Throw some down money.
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 2: How's this will the widow when you keep time? What trick?
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 2: What quid it? What figgary?
• 2:10:46
  Speaker 16: Is this?
• 2:10:47
  Speaker 2: My cashiered son speak from the widow's chamber and in
• 2:10:51
  Speaker 2: his shirt, Ha, sure she is not there? Tis so
• 2:10:57
  Speaker 2: she has took him in for pity, and now removes
• 2:11:00
  Speaker 2: her chamber. I will home on with my neatest robes,
• 2:11:05
  Speaker 2: perfume my beard, eat clothes, and goes and drink some
• 2:11:08
  Speaker 2: aqua vita to sweetened breath, and keep my weam from wambling. Then,
• 2:11:13
  Speaker 2: like the month of March, come blustering in marry the widow,
• 2:11:17
  Speaker 2: shake up this spring all, and then as quiet as
• 2:11:20
  Speaker 2: a sucking lamb, close by the widow, when I rest
• 2:11:23
  Speaker 2: all night. As for my breath, I have crotches and devices.
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 2: Ladies rank breaths are often helped with spices.
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 1: And to Ariana and another strawing herbs.
• 2:11:37
  Speaker 19: Come straw pace. Lord shall I never live to walk
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 19: to church on flowers. But it's fine to see a
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 19: bride trip it to church so lightly, as if her
• 2:11:49
  Speaker 19: new tuppeans would scorn to bruise a silly flower. And
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 19: now a pretty Tell me what flower think is? Still
• 2:11:59
  Speaker 19: is likest to a woman.
• 2:12:02
  Speaker 24: A merry gold?
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 19: I think, why a merry.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 24: Gold, Because a little heat makes it to spread and
• 2:12:08
  Speaker 24: open wide.
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 19: His leaves tart quite wide. A merry gold does open
• 2:12:14
  Speaker 19: wide all day and shuts most close at night. I
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 19: hoped on earth all wenches to the contrary. But Sarah,
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 19: how does thy uncle the old doctor does think he'll
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 19: be a bishop?
• 2:12:28
  Speaker 13: Oh?
• 2:12:29
  Speaker 24: Questionless? For it has got him a young wife and
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 24: carried her to court already. But now I prethee say,
• 2:12:37
  Speaker 24: why will the weather wed so all the night? Why
• 2:12:41
  Speaker 24: for his riches, for riches only? Why riches cannot give
• 2:12:46
  Speaker 24: her her delight?
• 2:12:48
  Speaker 19: Riches I hope can soon procure her. One shall give
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 19: her her delight. That's the devil, that's it. He faith
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 19: makes us waiting gentlewomen live made so long?
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 24: Thank you so yes.
• 2:13:02
  Speaker 19: In faith, married women quite have spoilt the market by
• 2:13:07
  Speaker 19: having secret friends besides their husbands. For if these married
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 19: wives would be content to have but one a piece,
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 19: I think in troth there would be doings enough for
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 19: us all and till we get an act of Parliament.
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 19: For that our states are desperate. Come straw a piece.
• 2:13:26
  Speaker 1: And to boucher and constantia.
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 12: So home, master boy. In truth, I thought you'd be
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 12: more fast asleep than a midwife or a Puritan taylor
• 2:13:36
  Speaker 12: at a Sunday evening's lecture. But sir, why do you
• 2:13:39
  Speaker 12: ride so soon.
• 2:13:40
  Speaker 14: To see the widow?
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 22: The weaker you you are for bidder widow, and tis
• 2:13:45
  Speaker 22: the first thing you will fall into. Methinks a young,
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 22: clear skinned country gentlewoman that never saw baboons, lions or
• 2:13:53
  Speaker 22: courtiers might prove a handsome wife.
• 2:13:55
  Speaker 12: Or what do you say to a citizen's daughter that
• 2:13:58
  Speaker 12: never was in love with a plan, that never learned
• 2:14:01
  Speaker 12: to dance, that never dwelt near any inn of court?
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 12: Might not she, in time prove an honest wife? Faith,
• 2:14:10
  Speaker 12: take a maid and leave the widow master of all meats,
• 2:14:13
  Speaker 12: I love not a gaping oyster.
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 14: God speed your works, fair maids, you much mistake, tis
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 14: no work?
• 2:14:22
  Speaker 19: What then, a preparation to a work?
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 17: Sir?
• 2:14:26
  Speaker 14: What work, sweet ladies?
• 2:14:28
  Speaker 19: Why to a marriage? That's the work? I think?
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 14: How a preparation to a marriage of whom? Kind maids?
• 2:14:36
  Speaker 14: Of whom?
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 19: And why kind maids? I hope you have had no
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 19: kindness at our hand to make you say so. But sir,
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 19: understand that Sir Oliver Smallshanks, the noble knight and mistress
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 19: to Feta, the rich widow, must this day be coupled, conjoined, married, espoused, wedded, contracted,
• 2:14:59
  Speaker 19: or as suppurit and says, put together. And so, sir,
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 19: to the shifting of our clean smocks, we leave you.
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 1: Ex Aunt Adriana and the other woman married.
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 14: And to day, oh dissension, jealousy, hate, beggary, with all
• 2:15:16
  Speaker 14: the dire events which breed dislike in nuptial beds attend
• 2:15:19
  Speaker 14: her bridal steps. Can vows and oaths with such protesting
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 14: action as if their hearts were spit forth with their words,
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 14: as if their souls were darted through their eyes, be
• 2:15:30
  Speaker 14: of no more validity with women? Have I for her
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 14: condemned my fixed fate neglected my fair hopes and scorned
• 2:15:39
  Speaker 14: the love of beauteous, virtuous and honored.
• 2:15:41
  Speaker 1: Constantia aside now works it with my wish.
• 2:15:46
  Speaker 12: My hopes are full.
• 2:15:49
  Speaker 14: And I engaged my worth and ventured life on yonder
• 2:15:53
  Speaker 14: buffling face, to have men scorn and point at my disgrace. First,
• 2:15:58
  Speaker 14: will I leave to live? There?
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 15: Take my purse, live thou to a better fate. Better
• 2:16:03
  Speaker 15: thus die than live unfortunate boucher hangs himself.
• 2:16:08
  Speaker 12: A mere curse? Help how mercer, murcer? Curse be the
• 2:16:13

• 2:16:41
  Speaker 16: is gone? And at my daughter lay the guilt on me.
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 16: This place was made to pleasure citizen's wives, and not
• 2:16:49
  Speaker 16: to hang up, honest gentlemen, and to tofada.
• 2:16:52
  Speaker 11: Where be these lazy knaves? Some raise the house. What
• 2:16:56

  Speaker 16: Here stand I for my client, this gentleman, I for
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 16: the widow again.
• 2:23:59
  Speaker 5: Right worship, I say that William small Shanks Madman, is,
• 2:24:05
  Speaker 5: by a statute made in Octavo of Richard Cordelion, guilty
• 2:24:10
  Speaker 5: to the law of felony for stealing this lady's heir,
• 2:24:14
  Speaker 5: that he stole her. The proof is most pregnant. He
• 2:24:17
  Speaker 5: brought her to my house, confessed himself he made great
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 5: means to steal her. I liked her, and, finding him
• 2:24:24
  Speaker 5: a novice truth to tell, married her myself. And as
• 2:24:28
  Speaker 5: I said, by a statute Richardi quaiti she is my
• 2:24:32
  Speaker 5: lawful wife.
• 2:24:34
  Speaker 16: For my clients. I say the wench I brought unto
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 16: your house was not the daughter to rich Summerfield. What
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 16: proof of that, des gentleman.
• 2:24:44
  Speaker 5: Tut tut, he is a party in the cause. But Sir,
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 5: if twere not the daughter to this good widow, who
• 2:24:52
  Speaker 5: was it? Answer?
• 2:24:53
  Speaker 16: That an aaron's wore which you have married, and she
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 16: is run away with all your jewels. This is true,
• 2:25:01
  Speaker 16: and this Lieutenant Beard can testify it was the wench
• 2:25:05
  Speaker 16: I kept in Hoseyer Lane.
• 2:25:07
  Speaker 13: What was it?
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 3: She the very same, speak, sirrah Beard, if all he
• 2:25:13
  Speaker 3: says be true?
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 13: She said she was a punk, a rampant whore, which
• 2:25:17
  Speaker 13: at her time had been the cause of parting some
• 2:25:19
  Speaker 13: fourteen bards. He kept her in the suburbs. Yet I
• 2:25:22
  Speaker 13: do think this wench was not the same.
• 2:25:25
  Speaker 14: The case is clear with me.
• 2:25:27
  Speaker 5: Oh no, sir, this is not true. Who lived you
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 5: in the suburbs and escaped so many searches?
• 2:25:35
  Speaker 16: I answer that most constables in our out parishes aboards
• 2:25:39
  Speaker 16: themselves by which we escaped the searches.
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 2: This is most strange.
• 2:25:45
  Speaker 10: What's become of this woman?
• 2:25:47
  Speaker 13: That?
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 24: No?
• 2:25:48
  Speaker 11: Not? I?
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 13: As I was squiring her along the street, Master small
• 2:25:52
  Speaker 13: Shanks set upon me, beat me down and took away
• 2:25:54
  Speaker 13: the bed which I suppose was daughter to the widow.
• 2:25:57
  Speaker 16: He lies, let me be hanged, if lie not, what
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 16: confusion is this?
• 2:26:03
  Speaker 1: And to Constable bring them forward, and to Thomas Smallshanks
• 2:26:08
  Speaker 1: and Francis Constable, to Sir Oliver God, preserve your worship
• 2:26:13
  Speaker 1: to Lady Somerfield.
• 2:26:15
  Speaker 5: And it like you, madam.
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 7: We were commanded by your deputy that if we took
• 2:26:18
  Speaker 7: a woman in the watch, to bring her straight to you,
• 2:26:21
  Speaker 7: and hearing there you were, come hither.
• 2:26:23
