Do you not know me Frol. Even so fair Mistris Friendly Friend Fair and Friendly are two good Epithites Frol. Better then foul and froward I am one of those that had rather embrace lovely levity then divine deformity a tractable vice prevails with me more then a tyrannical vertue I do not much affect the grim goodness of honesty when it looks ugly Friend You want no words to express your wantonness Frol. Nor deeds to direct my devotion to so sweet a Saint as thou art Friend You breath nothing but Musk and Amber these are fine Civit sentences Frol. Such Altars as this my dear must not want Incense Friend Especially when honor is the Sacrifice but I must leave ye Frol. I 'de rather you would love me Friend So I do Frol. How shall I know that Friend You must make it the object of your faith for your reason will never reach it Frol. No matter if my sence can Friend What sence Frol. Such a sence as cannot miss your apprehension Friend I shall easier understand you then answer you Love you that have as many Mistresses as there be minutes in a month that hath vow'd affection to all gradations from the lofty Lady to the limber Lawndress from Cloth of Bodkin to Lindsey-woolsey from the Court Curtezan to the Sun-burnt Suburbian and from 16. to 60. as they press Souldiers in Scotland Frol. Do you know what you say Friend Some are of opinion that the exact Catalogue of thy Mistresses would supernumerate the Common-Place Books of a Registers Office Frol. You are invective Friend T is verily believed that thou hast undone three poor Parishes with Cradles Milk and Swadling-clouts Frol. How many Servants have you had pray Friend Some two or three whining fellows which were quickly mortified with my answers Frol. They speak modestly that say betwixt the ages of 15. and one and twenty you have had •now to people a Plantation but others who would bring these lesser I•ms to a sum total believe you have had as many received Suiters as would raise a Royal Army against the Grand Siegnior and leave a close Siege about Constantinople Frol. That 's a lye beyond all limitation Frol. That Messalina the Roman Empress wil be esteemed a Virgin when you appear in the ballance of comparison Friend Fye fye Frol. To conclude your commendations they say the four quarters of the world are but your Diocess and all the Nations which divided at the fall of Babel have attempted to reunite themselvs in you affection Friend How many Ladies have you inveigled with this kind of Courtship Frol. Not enow to vye numbers with the Common-place Books of a Registers Office Friend Nor to serve your Constantinople Leaguer with Lawndresses my memory shall record your expressions when it may be you would be glad to sue for composition and give all the Coyn in your Counting-house for an Act of oblivion So fare ye well Sir Frol. No no you are not gone yet for although I cannot stop the volubility of your tongue I can stay the celerity of your heels Friend But not the activity of my hands if you abuse me thus Frol. You will not sight Friend I cannot promise you 't is not the rude Reputation you have amongst your fellow Hectors your Seas of Sink-mee's nor Artillery of Dam-mee's can defend you from my fury when you provoke me thus in point of Honor Frol. Prethee good Frank put thy patience in practice and let me kiss thee into composition for
