it Al. A good turne Madam La. Yes was it not to have the free use of a hundred pound ready money a whole quarter of a yeare through a dead Vacation and at last to take it out in wares A good turne I thinke for a Trades-woman take heed you do not by your fullennesse make me suspect another kind of good turne or that you did my husband any to my injury nor deny the receipt of his money lest I take up a violence that will not become mee nor you be able to beare Be therefore well advis'd both in what you say and who heares me Somebody comes Enter Prentice with Beere Al. Madam your Beere La. I 'le pledge you Mistris Saleware Al. I shall presume then Madam Drinks La This was right cast was it not friend Pre. Your Ladyship will finde it so La. Drinks Al. And I hope you will finde your money so well bestowd Madam that you will vouchsafe always to know the Shop La. Ever upon the like occasion Mistris Saleware so most kindly farwell sweet Mistris Saleware Al. The humblest of your servants Madam Open the Boot for my Lady La. 'T is done my Coach-man does it Exit Al. I would the Devill were in your Coachmans Coat to take his carriage for his paines Lady returnes La. One word more Mistris Saleware can it be he Al. Lay your comands on me good Madam Curtsie La Not to your trouble I perceive a young Gentleman attends for conference with you Is not his name Fitzgerrard Al. No Madam his name is Bellamie much depending on the young Lord Lovely La. I thought I had known him hee is a handsome youth I cannot blame you now with him but beware of old Knights that have young Ladies of their owne Once more adieu sweet Mistris Saleware Exit Al. Most courteous Madam and once more to the Devill But on my life her chast Ladiship is taken with this beard-lesse Bellamie How shee shot eyes at him Bel. Now may your servant obtaine a hearing Lady Al. My eares are open Sir Bel. But you are sad or angry why seemes that brow to threaten a subjection over him that is your vanquish'd captive or has Cupid plac'd his Bow there bent at me whose heart already lodges all his Arrowes never to be restor'd but by your pity Al. Fie fie upon 't what talke is this I am vex'd and you would mad me Bel. What has displeas'd you Al. A crosse businesse that has happened in my Shop to day I being none of the wisest Chapwoman have undersold a parcell of the best Commodities my husband had And should hee know 't wee should have such a scwable Bel. Husbands should be so serv'd that do impose Those mercenary Offices on their wives Al. Talke so and I will heare you your amorous notes sound like Play-speeches Bel. Servile nay slavish Offices ranking their wives with their prentises Al. They pretend onely that wee should over-looke our servants when they but set us there for shew to draw in custome but in making us such over-seers they are overseene themselves Shopkeepers-wives will be medling and dealing in their kinde and as they are able as wel as their husbands some much better and more profitable but I was overreach'd I confesse Bel. For no great matter I hope Al. No the matter was not much that never fretted me but the manner has eene kild a Shee shop-keeper I cannot be long-liv'd here under a Pent-house as my Lord you know told mee when he said he would shut mee out of this servitude and that I should change my Coat though my husband could not before hee were an Alderman and be rank'd with Ladies Bel. My Lord has still the same regard of you Al. So it appeares by the Tailor and the Mercer whom he sent foure dayes since to measure me out and sute mee to his Honour and no returne of them found yet his Land might ha' beene measur'd all and sold while a poore sute is dreampt on had he borne the mind of some Lord Bel. I doubt not but this paper will cleare that jealousie And while you reade I 'le speake that which I dare not utter through Sighes and Blushes to an intire attention I am of Noble-blood my selfe free-borne And not without good education But since I am ingag'd in this imployment And made an instrument of others lust I finde my selfe a scandall to my Name To Honour and to Vertue the base blot Of Pandare sticking on me But not this Alone is my affliction Here 's my torment That while I doe true service to my Lord Whom I must ever honour in my Agency Unto your selfe whom I cannot but love I finde my selfe a Traytor to his trust In my negotiation for my selfe Nor can I finde it possible to desist Mine own attempts to you or forbeare to urge Your constancy to him Al. How easie a worke 'T were for one woman to supply 'em both And hold her husband play to levell Acoile A wooden two-leav'd booke a paire of Tables Would do 't Bel. How wretched is that suppliant who must make Sute to obtaine that which he feares to take Al. At the beare at the Bridge-foot six a clock good Sir I finde my Lords honorable appointments here and have heard you all this while Bel. Now I could wish and was in hope you had not Al. I will not blame you on your Lords behalfe Because you have enough rebuk'd your selfe But Sir if you presume upon the favour I give your Lord and therefore to obtaine me Cause I am his you undervalue me To thinke that I can stoop unto his servant Though almost his Companion you may thinke After that degradation by degrees I may in time descend unto his Footman I 'me no cast Garment of his Lordships yet Bel. You have school'd mee fairely I am humbled Lady Going Al. d ee heare d ee heare sir Mr. Bellamine One word before you goe Pren. What would hee buy Mistris can you take his money Sir d ee heare Al. Pray attend you the tother end o' th' Shop If I cannot handle a Customer why dos your Master trust mee Could a frowne fright you Let a smile then cheare you Bel. And that 's a heavenly one As that of Cynthia at Endymion Al. Pray leave your Player-like passionate expressions And if you love mee like a Man speake to me As I am a Woman are you silent if you doubt the length of my mans Eares at that distance you may whisper what so But that is a right shop-whisper indeed with Trades-women that are handsome Is that the most you will give sir Could I afford it so doe you thinke I 'd make two words w' ye yet this before you goe Kisse Now match it for the price I 'le give it you for nothing Bel. I shall forget I have a Lord I must forget him here Al. Doe so and if I say you love mee speake plainely what you would have mee doe or what you would doe
