From his Wife’s gay Love-tricks—
Bartering her Honour for his Coronet.
L. Lam. [Thou ly’st], my Husband earn’d it with his Sword,
Braver and juster than thy bold Usurper,
Who waded to his Glory through a Sea
Of Royal Blood—
L. Des. Sure Loveless has done good on her, and converted her.
L. Fleet. Madam, I humbly beg you will be patient, you’ll ruin all my Lord’s Designs else—Women, proceed to your Grievances, both publick and private.
Lov. I petition for a Pension; my Husband, deceas’d, was a constant active man, in all the late Rebellion, against the Man; he plunder’d my [Lord Capel], he betray’d his dearest Friend [Brown Bushel], who trusted his Life in his Hands, and several others; plundering their Wives and Children even to their Smocks.
L. Lam. Most considerable Service, and ought to be consider’d.
