Or Partridges are kept, see they be mine,
Or straight I seize on all your priviledge, Places, revenues, offices, as forfeit, Call in your crutches, wooden legs, false bellyes, Forc'd eyes and teeth, with your dead arms; not leave you A durty clout to beg with o' your heads, Or an old rag with Butter, Frankincense, Brimston and Rozen, birdlime, blood, and cream, To make you an old sore; not so much soap As you may fome with i'th' Falling-sickness; The very bag you bear, and the brown dish Shall be escheated. All your daintiest Dells too I will deflower, and take your dearest Doxyes From your warm sides; and then some one cold night I'le watch you what old barn you go to roost in, And there I'le smother you all i'th' musty hay. _Hig._ This is tyrant-like indeed: But what would _Ginks_ Or _Clause_ be here, if either of them should raign? _Clau._ Best ask an Ass, if he were made a Camel, What he would be; or a dog, and he were a Lyon. _Ginks._ I care not what you are, Sirs, I shall be A Beggar still I am sure, I find my self there. _Enter_ Goswin. _Snap._ O here a Judge comes. |
