But then their saving penny proverbe comes,
And that is this, 'they that will to the wine,
Berlady[1707] mistresse, shall lay theyr penny to mine.' 365
This was one of this penny-fathers[1708] bastards,
For, on my lyfe, he was never begot
Without the consent of some great proverb-monger.
M. Bar. O, ye are a wag.
Phil. Well, now unto my busines. 370
Swounds, will that mouth, thats made of olde sed sawes
And nothing else, say nothing to us now?
