4 D. W. Which cursse you must shake of. To live is nothing;
To live admird and lookd at,—poore deservings
But to live soe, so free you may commaund, Lady,
Compell, and there raigne Soveraigne.
1 D. W. Do you thinck there's any thing
Our husbands labour for, and not for our ends?
Are we shut out of Counsailes, privacies,
And onely lymitted our household busines?
No, certaine, Lady; we pertake with all,
Or our good men pertake no rest. Why this man
Works theis or theis waies, with or against the State,
We know and give allowaunces.
2 D. W. Why such a Gentleman,
Thus hansom and thus yong, commaunds such a quarter;
Where theis faire Ladies lye; why the Grave's angry
And Mounseiur Barnavelt now discontent,—
Do you thinck it's fitt we should be ignorant?
2 D. W. Or why there's sprung up now a new devotion?
Good Gentlewoman, no. Do you see this fellow?
He is a Scholler and a parlous Scholler,
Or whether he be a Scholler or no 'tis not a doy't matter:
He's a fine talker and a zealous talker;
We can make him thinck what we list, say what we list,
Print what we list and whom we list abuse in't.
Eng.-gentw. And a Teacher do you say?
2 D. W. A singuler teacher, For so we hold such here.
Eng.-gentw. Doe they use no modestie Upon my life, some of theis new Arminians, Theis hissing tosts!
Hold. An ignorant strange woman, Whose faith is onely tride by a Coach and foure horses.
3 D. W. Come, you must be as we are and the rest of your Countrywomen; You doe not know the sweet on't.
Eng.-gentw. Indeed, nor will not;
Our Cuntry brings us up to faire Obedience
To know our husbands for our Governours,
So to obey and serve 'em: two heads make monsters;
Nor Dare we thinck of what is don above us,
Nor talk of Graves.
