Why this were med’cinable, and would heale,

Though the whole languish’d, halfe the commonweale.

But for a Cobler to goe burn his cappe,

And cry, The Prince, the Prince! O dire mishappe!

Or a Geneva-bridegroom, after grace,

To throw his spouse i’ th’ fire; or scratch her face

To the tune of the Lamentation; or delay

His Friday capon till the Sabbath day:

Or an old Popish lady half vow’d dead

To fast away the day in gingerbread:
