Scene 11.
Enter two Citizens Wives.
1. Wife.
COme, come, Neighbour, we shall get no room to see and hear the young Ladies, if we go not quickly.
2. Wife.
Yes, let us go; but stay Neighbour, I must run home again, for I have left the key in the Celar door.
1. Wife.
Let it be there for this time.
2. Wife.
By my truth I must not, for my maid Ioan, and the Prentice, will drink out all my Ale, and strong Beer, and there will be none left to give my Husband a draught when he goeth to bed.
Enter another Citizens Wife.
1. Wife.
VVhat, Neighbour, are you come back already?
3 Wife.
VVhy there is no getting in; the Door-keeper beat me back, and said there was no room for Citizens VVives, for the room was only kept for Ladies, and Gentlewomen of Quality.
2. Wife.
VVell, we may come to be Ladies one day, although not Gentle∣women, and then we shall not so often be beaten back.
1. VVife.
Let us go to the Gentlemens side, they will receive us, and use us kindly.
Exeunt.
