selfe; and you Will hardly meet a worse to interrupt you. Fare you well, Ladie.--Do you see that Bull? _Sis_. Yes, Sir. _Cou_. That is a happie beast _Sis_. Why happie, sir? _Cou_. He writes no verses to his Mistresse, is Not cosend nor forsworne to gett her favour, Bestowes no rings nor empties his Exchequer To appear still in new rich suites, but lives Free o' the stock of Nature, yet loves none. Like the great _Turke_ he walkes in his Seraglio, And doth command which concubine best pleases; When he has done he falls to graze or sleepe, And makes as he had never knowne the Dun, White, Red or Brindled Cowe. _Sis_. You are unmanly. _Cou_. Nay, I know you will raile now; I shall like it. Call me a scurvy fellow, proud and saucie, An ill bred, crooked Clowne; ile here this rather Then live upon your pitty. And yet doe not; For, if you raile, too, men that know you can Dissemble, may beleeve you love me, and Tis not my ayme. _Sis_. You are a fine man! _Cou_. I am in my best clothes? _Sis_.

Nay, sir, I am satisfied; You can talke your pleasure. _Cou_. Have I not done it, too? _Sis_. Yes, by your own report, and with a lady So much in vertue and in birth above you; And therefore I expect not-- _Cou_. Stay; this moves me. I never tooke a pleasure yet to lie With Ladies fames, or ever thought that sport Lay in the tongue. Such humours are for men That live by brothell offices: let me know Who hath traduc'd me to you thus, he shall Be knowne no more. _Sis_. Ile not be guiltie, sir, Of any murder; when we meet agen, And you in better humour, I may tell you. So farewell, _Gondarino_,[271] nothing's lost When you turne _Woman Hater_. [_Exit_. _Cou_. She has vext me. If we make Matrimony after this rate, The Divell is like to dance at our wedding. Ho! _Enter Device_. _De_. Hee's here, Alone too, and th
