life time 't is impossible I should be drown'd Hope Hope yet with griefe and mend Sensu. My mending must be miraculous Were it in art to repayre this rotten carcase and in my stock of credit with the broker enough to case it I might hope for as golden dayes and coaching agen But now welcome a cart or a Shrove-tuesdayes tragedy Despaire tells me there is a fire in hell and why should I that have converst with heates all my life time feare it Feare Stand by there What are you Seeing My Ladyes ape that imitated all her fashions falling as she did and running the same course of folly the difference onely that what was hers first was mine in reversion except her gentleman usher Hell I feare not for I have prevented leading apes Besides the whips of furies are not halfe so terrible as a blew coate and the shreeks of tormented ghosts nothing to the noyse of hemphammers Consc. Proceed quickly with the rest Feare I would excuse my selfe but I despaire of being heard now my Lady 's decayd and housekeeping broke up I feare nothing so much as to be torne in pieces by the revengefull beggars Smell That punishment must I share For I was an honest huntsman and provided buriall for many a scavingers horse in my dogs bellies but finding it troublesome and unsavou●y tooke an easier course and converted the remaines of dinner and supper that should have fed the poore into my dogs breakfast For which I expect to be pursu'd by the common hunt till I come to hell and there the qu●st will be so hot I shall not possibly scape it Feare Thou seem'st to have been a good fellow shall I speake a word in thy behalfe Tast. No Fear 's an ill orator hee 'l be out I have been the most notorious theef that ever rob'd by privilege of his office I have converted more butter into kitchin-stuffe then would have victualled a flemish garrison I have cheated butchers gone on their scores and payd them with hornes helping to undo my Lady with the greatnesse of mine own credit I have coney-catcht many a poulterers wife and she hath pluckt my feathers what I got by the back I spent on the belly But now short commons serve licking my fingers and the halfe-cold dripping pan Since my Ladyes decay I am degraded from a cooke and I feare the divell himself will entertaine me but for one of his black guard and he shall be sure to have his roast burnt Desp. Stand by You shall be sentenc'd presently Touch. I was a spruce observer of formality wore good cloathes at the second hand and payd for them quarterly Together with my Ladyes my fortune ●ell and of her gentleman usher I became her applesquire to hold the doore and keepe centinell at taverns I can play the Bravo where my affronting is upon sure advantage otherwise I can be kick't with as much patience as a hungry fidler when he expects the reversion of a gallants oysters I may yet be serviceable to the Su●●ubi in hell but other preferment I despaire of Consc. Custome in ill● that doe affect the sense Makes reason uselesse when it should direct The ills reforming Men habituate In any evill 't is their greatest curse Advise doth seldome mend but makes them worse To them Malus Genius Physander Bellanima Bonus Genius Mal.

'T is not deny'd no● needs it other witnesse I beare it in my Conscience Yet reverend judge Sorrow for ills past doth restore frayle man To his first innocence What mine hath beene My earth bed wet with nightly teares can witnesse And sighes have made the trembling ayre retire Vnwilling to be lodg'd in a sad brest Already fill'd with zeale If a perseverance Sprung from a constant resolution And joynd unto this sorrow may prevayle To th' expiation of my former guilt I hope forgivenesse Desp. But despaire me thinks Should fright that hope with apprehension Of what eternall justice will inflict And feare of deserv'd punishment should make thee Tremble with horrour Hope 'T is not so false orator Necessity may be a powerfull strengthening Of humane frailtie and as it acut's Sloth often into Diligence Despaire May be Hopes cause The temple-robber to appease Th' offended god head to the Altar flies Nor shames to beg his pardon with drown'd eyes Let thy resolves be firme Phys. As fates decrees Enroll'd in steele Nor will I be secure In any confidence of mine own strength For such security is oft the mother Of negligence and that th' occasion Of unremedied ru●●e From instructions Found here we will consult our after-safetyes And in all courses of my following life I will be guyded by my heavenly wife Consc. I le then pronounce ye happy Man 's a ship Laden with riches Tempests rage and hell Sends pirates out to rob him heavens eye guards him His soule 's the pilot who through various seas Of time and fortune brings him to the port Of endlesse quiet Now dismisse the court Exeunt Mal.
