North-vvard hoe Sundry times acted by the Children of Paules. By Thomas Decker, and Iohn Webster.

Actus 2. Scena. 1. (Book 2)

Enter Hornet, Doll, Leuerpoole and Chartly like seruingmen.

Horn.

AM I like a fidlers base violl (new set vp,) in a good case boies? ist neate, is it terse! am I hansome? ha▪

Omn.

Admirable, excellent.

Dol.

An vnder sheriffe cannot couer a knaue more cunningly.

Leuer.

Sfoot if he should come before a Church-warden, he wud make him peu-fellow with a Lords steward at least.

Horn.

If I had but a staffe in my hand, fooles wud thinke I were one of Simon and Iudes gentlemen vshers, and that my ap∣parell were hir'd: they say three Taylors go to the making vp of a man, but Ime sure I had foure Taylors and a halfe went to the making of me thus: this Suite tho it ha bin canuast well, yet tis no law-suite, for twas dispatcht sooner than a posset on a wed∣ding night.

Dol.

Why I tel thee Iack Hornet, if the Diuel and all the Bro∣kers in long lane had rifled their wardrob, they wud ha beene dambd before they had fitted thee thus.

Horn.

Punck, I shall bee a simple father for you: how does my chaine show now I walke.

Dol.

If thou wert hung in chaines, thou couldst not show better.

Chart.

But how fit our blew-coates on our backes.

Dol.

As they do vpon banckrout retainers backes at Saint Georges feast in London: but at VVestminster, It makes 'em scorne the badge of their occupation: there the bragging velure-cani∣ond hobbi-horses, praunce vp and downe as if some a the Ti••ters had ridden 'em.

Hor.

Nay Sfoot, if they be banckrouts, tis like some haue ridden

'em: and there-vpon the Cittizens Prouerbe rises, when hee sayes; he trusts to a broken staffe.

Doll.

Hornet, now you play my Father, take heed you be not out of your part, and shame your adopted Daughter.

Horn.

I will looke grauely Doll, (doe you see boyes) like the fore-man of a Iury: and speake wisely like a Lattin Schoole∣maister, and be surly and dogged, and proud like the Keeper of a prison.

Leuer.

You must lie horribly, when you talke of your lands.

Horn.

No shop-keeper shall out lye mee, nay, no Fencer: when I hem boyes, you shall duck: when I cough and spit gob∣bets Doll.

Doll.

The pox shall be in your lungs Hornet.

Hor.

No Doll, these with their high shoes shall tread me out.

Doll,

All the lessons that I ha prickt out for 'em, is when the Wether-cock of my body turnes towards them, to stand bare.

Horn.

And not to be sawcie as Seruing-men are.

Char.

Come, come, we are no such creatures as you take vs for.

Dol

If we ••aue but good draughts in my peeter-boate, fresh Salmon you sweete villaines shall be no meate with vs.

Horn.

S••oot nothing mooues my choller, but that my chaine is Copper: but tis no matter, better men than old Iack Hornet haue rode vp Holburne, with as bad a thing about their neckes as this: your ••ight whis••ler indeed hangs himselfe in Saint Martins, and not in Cheape-side.

Doll.

Peace, some-body rings: run both, whilst he has the the rope in's hand if it b•• a prize, hale him, if a man a war, blow him vp, or hang him out at the maine yeards end.

Horn.

But what ghost, (hold vp my fine Girle) what ghosts haunts thy house?

Doll.

Oh! why diuerse: I haue a Clothiers Factor or two; a Grocer that would faine Pepper me, a Welsh Gaptaine that laies hard seege, a Dutch Marchāt, that would spend al that he's able to make ith' low countries, but to take measu••e of my Holland sheetes when I lye in 'em: I heare trampling: 'tis my Flemish Hoy.

Enter Leuerpoole, Chartly and Hans van Belch.

Hans.

Dar is vor you, and vor you: een, twea, drie, vier, and

viue skilling, drinks Skellum vysie fréese: nempt, dats v drinck gelt.

Horn.

He Sayes Doll, he would haue thee to Wapping and hang thee.

Doll.

No Father I vnderstand him, but maister Hans, I would not be seene hanging about any mans neck, to be counted his Iewell, for any gold.

Horn.

Is your father liuing Maister Hans.

Hans.

Yau, yau, min vader heb schonen husen in Aus∣burgh groet mine heare is mine vaders broder, mine vader heb land, and bin full of see, dat is beasts, cattell

Char.

He's lowzy be-like.

Hans.

Leuer.

Fooker he saies.

Dol.

Out vpon him.

Han.

Yaw yaw, fooker is en groet min here hees en el∣derman vane Citty, gots sacrament, wat is de clock? Ick met stay.

A watch.

Hor.

Call his watch before you, if you can.

Doll.

Her's a pretty thing: do these wheeles spin vp the houres! what's a clock.

Han.

Acht: yaw tis acht.

Dol.

We can heare neither clock, nor Iack going, wee dwell in such a place that I feare I shall neuer finde the way to Church, because the bells hang so farre; Such a watch as this, would make me go downe with the Lamb, and be vp with the Larke.

Hans.

Seghen you so, dor it to.

Doll.

O fie: I doe but iest, for in trueth I could neuer abide a watch.

Han.

Gotts sacrament, Ick niet heb it any more.

Exeunt Leuer-poole and Chartly.

Dol.

An other peale! good father lanch out this hollander.

Horn.

Come Maister Belch, I will bring you to the water-side, perhaps to Wapping, and there ile leaue you.

Han.

Ick bedanck you vader.

Exit.

Doll.

They say Whores and bawdes go by clocks, but what a Manasses is this to buy twelue houres so deerely, and then bee begd out of'em so easily? heele be out at heeles shortly sure for he's out about the clockes already: O foolish young man how doest thou spend thy time?

Enter Leuer-poole first, then Allom and Chartly.

Leur.

Your grocer.

Dol••e

Nay Sfoot, then ile change my tune: I may cause such leaden-heeld rascalls; out of my sight: a knife, a knife I say: O Maister Allom, if you loue a woman, draw out your knife and vndo me, vndo me.

Allo.

Sweete mistris Dorothy, what should you do with a knife, it•• ill medling with edge tooles, what's the matter Maisters! knife God blesse vs.

Leu.

Sfoot what tricks at noddy are these.

Do.

Oh I shal burst, if I cut not my lace: I'me so vext! my father hee's ridde to Court: one was about a matter of a 1000. pound weight; and one of his men like a roague as he is is rid another way for rents, I lookt to haue had him vp yesterday, and vp to day, and yet hee showes not his head; s••••e he's run away, or r••bd & run thorough; and here was a scriuener but euen now, to put my father in minde of a bond, that wilbe forfit this night if the mony be not payd Mais••er Allom. Such crosse fortune!

Allo.

How much is the bond?

Chart.

O rare little villaine.

Dol.

My father could take vp, vpon the barenesse of his word fiue hundred pound: and fiue toe.

Allom.

What is the debt?

Dol.

But hee scornes to bee—and I scorne to bee—

Allom.

Pree thee sweete Mistris Dorothy vex not, how much is it?

Dol.

Alas Maister Allom, tis but poore fifty pound.

Allo.

If that bee all, you shall vpon your worde take vp so much with me: another time ile ••un as far in your bookes.

Dol.

Sir, I know not how to repay this kindnesse: but when my father —

All.

Tush, tush, tis not worth the talking: Iust 50 pound? when is it to be payd.

Dol.

Betweene one and two.

L••ue.

That's wee thre.

Allom.

Let one of your men goe along, and Ile send your fifty pound!

Dol.

You so bind mee sir, —goe sirra: Maister Allom, I ha some qu••nces brought from our house ith Country to preserue, when shall we haue any good Suger come ouer? the warres in Barbary make S••ger at such an excessiue rate; you pay sweetely now I warrant, sir do you not.

Al

You shal haue a whole che••t of Sugar if you please.

Dol.

Nay by my faith foure or fiue loues wil-be enough, and Ile pay you at my fi••st child Maister Allom.

Allom.

Content ifaith, your man shall bring all vnder one, ile borrow a kisse of you at parting.

Enter Captaine Iy••kins.

Dol.

You shall sir, I borrow more of you.

Ex. Allo. & Leu.

Chart.

Saue you Captaine.

Dol.

Welcome good captaine Iynkins.

Captaine.

What is hee a Barber Surgeon, that drest your lippes so.

Dol.

A Barber •• hee's may Taylor; I bidde him measure how hie, hee would make the standing coller of my new Taffatie Gowne before, and hee as Tailors wilbe sawcie and lickerish, laid mee ore the lippes.

Captaine.

Vds bloud ile laie him crosse vpon his coxcomb next daie.

Dol.

You know tis not for a Gentlewoman to stand with a knaue, for a small matter, and so I wud not striue with him, one∣lie to be rid of him.

Capt.

If I take Maister prick-louse ramping so hie againe, by this Iron (which is none a gods Angell) ile make him know how to kisse your blind cheekes sooner: mistris Dorothy Hor∣net, I wud not haue you bee a hornet, to licke at Cowsherds, but to s••••ng such sh••eds of rascallity: will you sing a Tailor shall haue mee my ioy?

Dol.

Captaine, ile bee lead by you in any thing! a Taylor! foh.

Capt.

Of what stature or sise haue you a stomach to haue your husband now?

Dol.

Of the meanest stature Captaine, not a s••ze longer than your se••fe, nor shorter.

Cap.

By god, tis wel said: all your best Captaine in the Low-cou••tr••es are as taller as I: but why of my pitch Mistris Dol?

Dol.

Because your smallest Arrowes flie farthest; ah you little hard-fauord villaine, but sweete villaine, I loue thee bee∣cause thou't draw a my side, hang the roague that will not fight for a woman.

Cap.

Vds blould, and hange him for vrse than a roague tha•• will slash and cut for an oman, if she be a whore.

Dol.

Pree the good Captaine Iynki••s, teach mee to speake some welch, mee thinkes a Welchmans tongue is the neatest tongue! —

Cap.

As any tongue in the vrld, vnlesse Cramacrees, that's vrse.

Dol.

How do you say, I loue you with all my heart.

Cap.

Mi cara whee, en hellon.

Dol.

Mi cara whee, en hel-hound.

Cap.

Hel▪ hound, o mondu, my cara whee, en hellon.

Dol.

O, my cara whee en hellon.

Cap.

Oh! and you went to wryting schoole twenty score yeare in Wales, by Sesu, you cannot haue better vttrance, for welch.

Dol.

Come tit mee, come tat mee, come throw a kisse at me, how is that?

Cap.

By gad I kanow not, what your tit mees and tat mees are, but mee uatha — Sbloud I know what kisses be, aswel as I know a Welch hooke, if you will goe downe with Shrop-sheere cariers▪ you shal haue Welch enough in your pellies forty weekes.

Dol.

Say Captaine that I should follow your collours into your Country how should I fare there?

Cap.

Fare? by Sesu, O there is the most abominable seere! and wider siluer pots to drinck in, and softer peds to lie vpon & do our necessary pusines, and fairer houses and parkes, & holes for Conies, and more money, besides tosted Sees and butter∣milke in Northwales diggon: besides, harpes, & Welch Freeze, and Goates, and Cow-heeles, and Metheglin, ouh, it may be set in the Kernicles, wil you ma••ch thither?

Dol.

Not with your Shrop-sheire cariers, Captaine.

Cap.

Will you go with Captaine Ienkin and see his Couzen Maddoc vpon Ienkin there, and ile run hedlongs by and by, & batter away money for a new Coach to iolt you in.

Dol.

Bestow your Coach vpon me, & two young white Mares, and you shall see how Ile ride.

Cap.

Will you? by all the leekes that are worne on Saint Da∣uies daie I will buy not only a Coach, with foure wheeles, but also a white Mare and a stone horse too, because they shal traw you, very lustily, as if the diuill were in their arses.

Exit.

How novv, more Tailors —

Phi.

How sir; Taylors.

Dol.

O good Captaine, tis my Couzen.

Enter Leuerpoole at another dore.

Phil.

Sfoot, what tame suaggerer was this I met Doll.

Dol.

A Captaine, a Captaine: but hast scap't the Dunkerks ho∣nest Philip? Philip ryalls are not more welcome: did thy father pay the sho••?

Phil.

He pai'd that shot, and then shot pistolets into my poc∣kets: harke wench: chinck chink, makes the punck wanton and the Baud to winck.

Capers.

Chart.

O rare musick.

Leuer.

Heauenly consort, better than old Moones.

Phil.

But why? why Dol, goe these two like Beadells in blew? ha?

Doll.

Theres a morrall in that: flea off your skins, you pretious Caniballs: O that the welch Captaine were here a∣gaine, and a drum with him, I could march now, ran, tan, tan, ta∣ra, ran, tan, tan, sirra Philip has thy father any plate in's house.

Phil.

Enough to set vp a Gold-smithes shop.

Dol.

Canst not borrow some of it? wee shall haue guests to morrow or next day and I wud serue the hungry rag-a-muffins in plate, tho twere none of mine owne.

Phil.

I shall hardly borrow it of him but I could get one of mine Aunts, to beate the bush for mee, and she might get the bird.

Dol.

Why pree the, let me bee one of thine Aunts, and doe it for me then. As Ime vertuous and a Gentlewoman ile restore.

Phil.

Say no more tis don.

Dol.

What manner of man is thy father? Sfoot ide faine see the witty Monky because thou sayst he's a Poet: ile tell thee, what ile do: Leuer-poole or Chartly, shall like my Gentleman vs∣her goe to him, and say such a Lady sends for him, about a son∣net or an epitaph for her child that died at nurse, or for some deuice about a maske or so; if he comes you shall stand in a cor∣ner, and see in what State ile beare my selfe: he does not know me, nor my lodging.

Phil.

No, no.

Doll.

Ist a match Sirs? shalls be mery with him and his muse.

Omn.

Agreed, any scaffold to execute knauery vpon.

Doll.

Ile send then my vant-currer presently: in the meane time, marche after the Captaine, scoundrels, come hold me vp:

Looke how Sabrina sunck ith' riuer Seuerne, So will we foure be drunke ith' ship-wrack Tauerne.

Exeunt.

Enter Bellamont, Maybery, and Mistresse Maybery.

May.

Come Wife, our two gallants will be here presently: I haue promist them the best of entertainment, with protestati∣on neuer to reueale to thee their slander: I will haue thee beare thy selfe, as if thou madest a feast vpon Simon and Iudes day, to country Gentlewomen, that came to see the Pageant, bid them extreamly welcome, though thou wish their throats cut; 'tis in fashion.

Wife

O God I shall neuer indure them.

Bell.

Indure them, you are a foole: make it your case, as it may be many womens of the Freedome; that you had a friend in priuate, whom your husband should lay to his bosome: and he in requitall should lay his wife to his bosome: what treads of the toe, salutations by winckes, discourse by bitings of the lip, amorous glances, sweete stolne kisses when your husbands backs turn••d, would passe betweene them, beare your selfe to Greeneshield as if you did loue h••m for affecting you so intirely, not taking any notice of his iourney: theile put more tricks vp∣on you: you told me Greeneshield meanes to bring his Sister to your house, to haue her boord here.

May.

Right, shee's some crackt demy-culuerin, that hath mis∣caried in seruice: no matter though it be some charge to me for a time I care not.

Wife

Lord was there euer such a husband?

May.

Why, wouldst thou haue me suffer their tongues to run at large, in Ordinaries and Cock-pits; though the Knaues doe lye, I tell you Maister Bellamont, lyes that come from sterne lookes, and Sattin out-sides, and guilt Rapiers also, will be put vp and goe for currant.

Bell.

Right sir, 'tis a small sparke, giues fire to a beautifull wo∣mans discredit.

May.

I will therefore vse them like informing kna••es in this kinde, make vp their mouthes with ••iluer, and after bee re••eng'd vpon them: I was in doubt I should haue growne fat of late: & it were no•• for law suites: and feare of our wiues, we rich men

should grow out of all compasse: they come, my worthy friends welcome: looke my wiues colour rises already.

Green.

You haue not made her acquainted with the discouery.

May.

O by no meanes: yee see Gentlemen the affection of an old man; I would faine make all whole agen. Wife giue entertainment to our new acquaintance, your lips wife, any wo∣mā may lend her lips without her husbands priuity tis alowable.

Wife.

You are very welcome; I thinke it be neere dinner time Gentlemen: Ile will the maide to couer, and returne presently.

Bell.

Gods pretious why doth she leaue them?

Exit.

May.

O I know her stomack: shee is but retirde into another chamber, to ease her heart with crying a little: it hath euer bin her humor▪ she hath done it 5. or 6. times in a day, when Courti∣ers haue beene heare, if any thing hath bin out of order, and yet euery returne laught and bin as merry: & how is it Gentlemen, you are well acquainted with this roome, are you not?

Gree.

I had a dellicate banquet once on that table.

May.

In good time: but you are better acquainted with my bed chamber.

Bell.

Were the cloath of gold Cushins set forth at your en∣tertainement?

Feth.

Yes Sir.

May.

And the cloath of T••ssew Valance▪

Feth.

They are very rich ones.

May.

God refuse me, they are lying Rascols, I haue no such furniture.

Green.

I protest it was the strangest, and yet with-all the hap∣piest fortune that wee should meete you two at Ware, that euer redeemed such desolate actions: I would not wrong you agen for a million of Londons.

May.

No, do you want any money? or if you be in debt, I am a hundreth pound ith' Subsidie, command mee.

Feth.

Alas good Gentleman; did you euer read of the like pacience in any of your ancient Romans?

Bel.

You see what a sweet face in a Veluet cap can do, your cit∣tizēs wiues are like Partriges, the hens are better thē the cocks.

Feth.

I beleeue it in troth, Sir you did obserue how the Gen∣tlewoman could not containe her selfe, when she saw vs enter.

Bell

Right.

Feth.

For thus much I must speake in allowance of her mode∣••tie, when I had her most priuate she would blush extreamely.

Bell.

I, I warrant you, and aske you if you would haue such a great sinne lie vpon your conscience, as to lie with another mans wife.

Feth.

Introth she would.

Bell.

And tell you there were maides inough in london, if a man were so vitiously giuen, whose Portions would helpe them to hu••sbands though gentlemen gaue the first onset.

Feth.

You are a merry ould gentleman infaith Sir: much like to this was her langwage.

Bell.

And yet clipe you with as voluntary a bosome; as if she had fallen in loue with you at some Innes a court reuels; and invi••ed you by letter to her lodging.

Fet.

Your knowledge Sir, is perfect without any information.

May.

Ile goe see what my wife is doing gentlemen, when my wife enters shew her this ring; and twill quit all suspition.

Exit.

Feth.

Dost heare Luke Greeshield wil thy wife by here presētly.

May.

I left my boy to waight vpon her, by this light, I thinke God prouides; for if this cittisen had not out of his ouerplus of kindnes proferd her, her diet and lodging vnder the name of my sister, I could not haue told what shift to haue made; for the greatest part of my mony is reuolted; weele make more vse of him, the whoresō rich Inkeeper of Doncaster her father shewed himselfe a ranke ostler: to send her vp at this time a yeare; and and by the carier to, twas but a iades trike of him.

Feth.

But haue you instructed her to call you brother.

Green.

Yes and shele do it, I left her at Bosomes Inne, sheele be here, presently.

Enter Maybery.

May.

Maister Greenesheild your sister is come; my wife is enter∣taining her, by the masse I haue bin vpon her lips already, Lady you are welcome, looke you maister Greeneshield, because your sister is newly come out of the fresh aire, and that to be pent vp in a narrow lodging here ith' cittie may offend her health she shall lodge at a garden house of mine in Morefeilds where if it please you and my worthy friend heare to beare her company your seuerall lodgings and Ioint commons (to the poore ability of a cittizen) shalbe prouided.

Feth.

O God Sir.

May.

Nay no complement your loues comand it: shalls to dinner Gentlemen, come maister Bellamont Ile be the Gentle∣man vsher to this faire Lady.

Gree.

Here is your ring Mistris; a thousand times, —and

would haue willingly lost my best of maintenance that I might haue found you haire so tractable.

Wif.

Sir I am still my selfe, I know not by what means you haue grown vpō my husbād, he is much deceaued in you I take it: will you go in to dinner—O God that I might haue my wil of him & it were not for my husbād ide scratch out his eyes presētly.

Ex.

Fet.

Welcome to Londō bonny mistris Kate, thy husband little dreams of the familiarity that hath past betwene thee & I Kate.

Kate.

Noe matter if hee did: he ran away from me like a base slaue as he was, out of Yorke-shire, and pretended he would goe the Iland voiage, since I neere heard of him till within this fort∣night: can the world condemne me for entertayning a friend, that am vsed so like an Infidel?

Fe.

I think not, but if your husbād knew of this he'd be deuorst.

Rat.

Hee were an asse then, no wisemen should deale by their wiues as the sale of ordinance passeth in Englād, if it breake the first discharge the workman is at the losse of it, if the second the Marchant, & the workman ioyntly, if the third the Marchant, so in our case, if a woman proue false the first yeare, turne her vpon her fathers n••ck, if the second, turne her home to her father but allow her a portion, but if she hould pure mettaile two yeare & flie to seueral peeces, in the third, repaire the ruines of her hone∣sty at your charges, for the best peece of ordinance, may bee crackt in the casting, and for women to haue cracks and slaues, alas they are borne to them, now I haue held out foure yeare, doth my husband do any things about Londō doth he swagger?

Feth.

O as tame as a fray in Fleet estreete, when their are no∣body to part them.

Ra.

I euer thought so, we haue notable valiant fellowes about Doncaster, theile giue the lie and the stab both in an instant.

Feth.

You like such kind of man-hood best Kate.

Rat.

Yes introth for I think any woman that loues her friēd, had rather haue him stand by it then lie by it, but I pray thee tel me, why must I be quarterd at this Cittizens garden house, say you.

Fe.

The discou••se of that wil set thy bloud on fire to be reuēgd on thy husbands forhead peece.

Ent. Bella. & Maist. Maybe.

Wif.

Wil you go in to dinner sir?

Rat.

Wil you lead the way forsoth?

Wif.

No sweete forsothe weele follow you.

O Maister Bellamont: as euer you tooke pitty vpon the simpli∣city of a poore abused gentlewoman: wil you tell me one thing.

Bell.

Any thing sweet Mistris Mayberrie.

Wife.

I but will you doe it faithfully?

Bell.

As I respect your acquaintance I shall doe it.

Wife.

Tell me then I beseech you, doe not you thinke this minx is some noughty packe whome my husband hath fallen in loue with, and meanes to keepe vnder my nose at his garden house.

Bell.

No vpon my life is she not,

Wife.

O I cannot beleeue it, I know by her eies she is not honest, why should my husband proffer them such kindnes? that haue abused him and me; so intollerable: and will not luffer me to speake; theres the hellont not suffer me to speake.

Bell.

Fie fie, he doth that like a vserer, that will vfe a man with all kindnes, that he may be carelesse of paying his mony, vpon his day, and after-wards take the extremitie of the forfa∣ture; your iealousie is Idle: say this were true, it lies in the bo∣some of a sweete wife to draw her husband from any loose imperfection, from wenching, from Iealosie, from couituousnes from crabbednes, which is the old mans common disease, by her politicke yealding.

Bell.

She maye doe it from crabednes, for example I haue knowne as tough blades as any are in England broke vpon a fetherbed,—come to diner,

Wife.

Ile be ruled by you Sir, for you are very like mine vncle.

Bell.

Suspition workes more mischiefe growes more strong, To seuer ch••st beds then aparant wrongs.

Exit.
