L[o]ng. The means to get a service will first spend
Our purses; and except we can allow
Our selves an entertainment, service will
Neglect us; now 'tis grown into a doubt
Whether the Mr. or the servants gives the countenance.
Dub. Then fall in with Mistresses.
Long. They keep more servants now (indeed) than men,
But yet the age is grown so populous
Of those attendants, that the women are
Grown full too.
Dub. What shall we propound our selves?
Long. I'll think on't.
Dub. Do; Old occupations have too many setters up to
prosper, some uncommon trade would thrive now.
Long. Wee'll e'en make up some half a dozen proper men.
And should not we get more
Than all your female sinners?
Dub. If the house be seated as it should be privately.
Long. I, but that would make a multitude of witches.
Dub. Witches? how prethee?
