2016Ser. He hath songs for man, or woman, of all sizes:

2017No Milliner can so fit his customers with Gloues: he has

2018the prettiest Loue-songs for Maids, so without bawdrie

2019(which is strange,) with such delicate burthens of Dil-

2020do's and Fadings: Iump-her, and thump-her; and where

2021some stretch-mouth'd Rascall, would (as it were) meane

2022mischeefe, and breake a fowle gap into the Matter, hee

2023makes the maid to answere, Whoop, doe me no harme good

2024man: put's him off, slights him, with Whoop, doe mee no

2025harme good man.

2026Pol. This is a braue fellow.

2027Clo. Beleeue mee, thou talkest of an admirable con-

2028ceited fellow, has he any vnbraided Wares?

2029Ser. Hee hath Ribbons of all the colours i'th Raine-

2030bow; Points, more then all the Lawyers in Bohemia, can

2031learnedly handle, though they come to him by th' grosse:

2032Inckles, Caddysses, Cambrickes, Lawnes: why he sings

2033em ouer, as they were Gods, or Goddesses: you would

2034thinke a Smocke were a shee-Angell, he so chauntes to

2035the sleeue-hand, and the worke about the square on't.

2036Clo. Pre'thee bring him in, and let him approach sin-

2037ging.

2038Perd. Forewarne him, that he vse no scurrilous words

2039in's tunes.

2040Clow. You haue of these Pedlers, that haue more in

2041them, then youl'd thinke (Sister.)

2042Perd. I, good brother, or go about to thinke.

2056Clo. If I were not in loue with Mopsa, thou shouldst

2057take no money of me, but being enthrall'd as I am, it will

2058also be the bondage of certaine Ribbons and Gloues.

2059Mop. I was promis'd them against the Feast, but they

2060come not too late now.

2061Dor. He hath promis'd you more then that, or there

2062be lyars.

2063Mop. He hath paid you all he promis'd you: 'May be

2064he has paid you more, which will shame you to giue him

2065againe.

2066Clo. Is there no manners left among maids? Will they

2067weare their plackets, where they should bear their faces?

2068Is there not milking-time? When you are going to bed?

2069Or kill-hole? To whistle of these secrets, but you must

2070be tittle-tatling before all our guests? 'Tis well they are

2071whispring: clamor your tongues, and not a word more.

2072Mop. I haue done; Come you promis'd me a tawdry-

2073lace, and a paire of sweet Gloues.

2074Clo. Haue I not told thee how I was cozen'd by the

2075way, and lost all my money.

2076Aut. And indeed Sir, there are Cozeners abroad, ther-

2077fore it behooues men to be wary.

2078Clo. Feare not thou man, thou shalt lose nothing here

2079Aut. I hope so sir, for I haue about me many parcels

2080of charge.

2081Clo. What hast heere? Ballads?

2082Mop. Pray now buy some: I loue a ballet in print, a

2083life, for then we are sure they are true.

2084Aut. Here's one, to a very dolefull tune, how a Vsu-

2085rers wife was brought to bed of twenty money baggs at

2086a burthen, and how she long'd to eate Adders heads, and

2087Toads carbonado'd.

2088Mop. Is it true, thinke you?

2089Aut. Very true, and but a moneth old..

2090Dor. Blesse me from marrying a Vsurer.

2091Aut. Here's the Midwiues name to't: one Mist. Tale-

2092Porter, and fiue or six honest Wiues, that were present.

2093Why should I carry lyes abroad?

2094Mop. 'Pray you now buy it.

2095Clo. Come-on, lay it by: and let's first see moe Bal-

2096lads: Wee'l buy the other things anon.

2097Aut. Here's another ballad of a Fish, that appeared

2098vpon the coast, on wensday the fourescore of April, fortie

2099thousand fadom aboue water, & sung this ballad against

2100the hard hearts of maids: it was thought she was a Wo-

2101man, and was turn'd into a cold fish, for she wold not ex-

2102change flesh with one that lou'd her: The Ballad is very

2103pittifull, and as true.

2104Dor. Is it true too, thinke you.

2105Autol. Fiue Iustices hands at it, and witnesses more

2106then my packe will hold.

2107Clo. Lay it by too; another.

2108Aut. This is a merry ballad, but a very pretty one.

2109Mop. Let's haue some merry ones.

2110Aut. Why this is a passing merry one, and goes to the

2111tune of two maids wooing a man: there's scarse a Maide

2112westward but she sings it: 'tis in request, I can tell you.

2113Mop. We can both sing it: if thou'lt beare a part, thou

2114shalt heare, 'tis in three parts.

2115Dor. We had the tune on't, a month agoe.

2116Aut. I can beare my part, you must know 'tis my oc-

2117cupation: Haue at it with you:

2134Clo. Wee'l haue this song out anon by our selues: My

2135Father, and the Gent. are in sad talke, & wee'll not trouble

2136them: Come bring away thy pack after me, Wenches Ile

2137buy for you both: Pedler let's haue the first choice; folow

2138me girles. Aut. And you shall pay well for 'em.

2145Seruant. Mayster, there is three Carters, three Shep-

2146herds, three Neat-herds, three Swine-herds y^t haue made

Bb3 them
