ch a Coxcomb, such a whining Ass, as you decreed me
for when I was last here.
_Lady_. I joy to hear you are wise, 'tis a rare Jewel
In an Elder Brother: pray be wiser yet.
_Elder Lo._ Me thinks I am very wise: I do not come a wooing. Indeed I'le
move no more love to your Ladiship.
_Lady_. What makes you here then?
_Elder Lo_. Only to see you and be merry Ladie: that's all my business.
Faith let's be very merry. Where's little _Roger_? he's a good fellow: an
hour or two well spent in wholesome mirth, is worth a thousand of these
puling passions. 'Tis an ill world for Lovers.
_Lady_. They were never fewer.
_Elder Lo_. I thank God there's one less for me Ladie.
_Lady_. You were never any Sir.
_Elder Lo_. Till now, and now I am the prettiest fellow.
_Lady_. You talk like a Tailor Sir.
_Elder Lo_. Me thinks your faces are no such fine things now.
_Lady_. Why did you tell me you were wise? Lord what a lying age is this,

never long for't, not a snap dear Ladie.
_Lady_. Hark ye Sir, hark ye, get ye to the Suburbs, there's horse flesh
for such hounds: will you goe Sir?
_Elder Lo_. Lord how I lov'd this woman, how I worshipt this prettie calf
with the white face here: as I live, you were the prettiest fool to play
withall, the wittiest little varlet, it would talk: Lord how it talk't!
and when I angred it, it would cry out, and scratch, and eat no meat, and
it would say, goe hang.
_Lady_. It will say so still, if you anger it.
_Elder Lo_. And when I askt it, if it would be married, it sent me of an
errand into _France_, and would abuse me, and be glad it did so.
_Lady_. Sir this is most unmanly, pray by gon.
_Elder Lo_. And swear (even when it twitter'd to be at me) I was
unhansome.
_Lady_. Have you no manners in you?
_Elder Lo_. And say my back was melted, when God he knows, I kept it at a
charge: Four _Flaunders_ Mares w
