Raphael. Oh you have pleasd mee,
And in proposinge all these difficultyes
Given of her graces ample testimony.
Shee is that miracle, that only one
That cann doo these; wear't comon in the sexe
Twold not appeare to mee so admirable;
It is for these I love her.
Treadway. You are resolvd And I'l not staye your purpose.
Enter the Clowne with Mildewe and Sarleboys his guest and frende.
Clowne. I have brought this flesh-fly whome as soone as the butchers wyves sawe comminge throwghe the shambles, they all of them stood with theire flapps in theire hands like fanns. I, demandinge the reason itt was answerd me againe itt was to keepe away his infectious breath least it should fill theire meate with fly-blowes.
Raphael. Well, mett, good Mr. Mildewe.
Mildewe. My returne Of your salutes I cast belowe your feete.
Raphael. Syr, I am yours to treade on. You will then Stand to your former bargen?
Mildewe. I weare else Not woorthy to bee stil'd what I am tearmd, A trewe venereall broaker.
Clowne. That's in Italian A damnable hee bawde.
Mildewe Y'have such a bargen
Marcellis, nor all France, shall yeild the like.
Tis such a deynty peece of purity
Such a coy thinge that[53] hee unto whose lott
She shall hereafter fall may boast himself
To bee a happy husband. For our trade
Shees out at that: neather promises, rewards,
Example or Intreaty, fayre, fowle meanes,
Gaine present or the hope of future goodd,
Can force from her a presens; then much lesse
A frendly prostitution.
