Scene 33.
Shall we go to visit Mistris Simple? she that is now my Lady Gos∣ling, and bid her joy.
Yes, if you will: for I long to see how she looks, now she is a Wife.
So do I, and to see how she behaves her self, since she is maried.
She is now, Ladies, for the conversation of Wives, and not for the society of Maids; her discourse will be now of Houshold Affairs, as of Houswifry, and of her Husband, and of Children, and hired servants, and not Suters and Courtiers, not Fashions, nor Dressings; neither will she re∣turn your Visits: for her Visitings will be to other maried Wives, and her time will be spent at Labours, Christenings, Churchings, and other Matri∣monial Gossippings and Meetings.
Howsoever we will go visit her.
I wish we may see her Husband with her, to see if he be kind to her, or not.
If he be not kind to her, and hath been maried but two or three days, he will never be kind.
I wonder whether he will kiss her when we are by.
Yes certainly: for new-maried men and their wives take a pleasure to kiss before company.
