PROLOGUE.  

NOw Fancy's up; lest waiting palls the jest;  
Psyche the second's coming half undressed:  
But in that Garb you like fine Women best.  
Let our Rich Neighbours mock our Farce; we know  
(Already, th'utmost) of their Puppet-show.  
Since they'gainst Nature go, they Heaven offend,  
If Nature's purpose then cross Nature's end;  
unnatural Nature is not Nature's Friend.  
[— There's Nature for you.  
As Aesop's Cat dressed in a Nymph's disguise,  
Their gaudy Trifle may at first surprise;  
None but the (Dirty-rout) will like it twice:  
A well dressed Frolic once may please the eye;  
But Plays (like Women,) can't so satisfy.  
Ye masked Nymphs can tell, there's something in ye,  
Besides a painted face that gets the penny:  
Yet all the Fame you give'em, we'll allow  
To their best Plays, and their best Actors too.  
That is, the Painter, Carpenter, and show  
Beaumond, and Fletcher, Poet, and Devow.  
But Sirs, free harmless Mirth you here condemn,  
And Clap at downright Bawdry in them.  
In Epsom-Wells, for example—  
Are they not still for pushing Nature on,  
Till Nature's feat thus in your sight is done.  
Oh Lord!—  
Take off their Psyche's borrowed plumes awhile,  
Hopkins and Sternhold rise, and claim your style;  
Dread Kings of Brentford! leave Lardellas' Hearse,  
Psyche's despairing Lovers steal your verse:  
And let Apollo's Priest restore again  
What from the nobler Mamamouchy's ta'en.   

Let'em restore your Treble prices too,  
To see how strangely still they bubble you,  
It makes me blush; and that I seldom do.  
Now Psyche's stripped from all her gay attire,  
TE DE POLYKAGATHOY, Behold the Fire!   

But Oh! a long Farewell to all this sort,  
Which Music Scenes, nor Preface can support.  
Yet you admire it, make'em thankful for't:  
Alas their Charge was great, and you must paid.  
If they should purchase at a cursed Rate,  
The New-come Elephant, and show't in State;  
Get him a Room with Pomp and Lux'ry dressed,  
Would you pay Crowns a piece to see the Beast?  
Show some of your good Natures here kind Sirs;  
If our Conceit less proud or gay appears,  
She's less expensive, and more brisk than theirs.    

THE Mock OPERA.  
ACT. I.  

SCEN. I.  Enter Nonesofair, Twattle and Glozy. Non. 
OGlozy! What a crumptious place is here?  
Where none can see one play with ones none Dear.  
Under each buffis kind Sun doth warm;  
Here one may kiss, and laugh, and think no harm:  
For Country Love has neither joys nor fears,  
And Bushes break no Trust, though Walls have dares:  Gloz. 
No Milly Nonesofair, they are not of Oal all an mind.  
Man hunts not here for mankind,  
Wire on Hare not man prevails,  
Nor are men caught with Pipe like Quails,  
No salt is here thrown on their Tails.  Tw. 
No Gossip Glozy,  
You may here sing hay down with every Olown,  
And none will diclose ye,  
As at London lewd jown.  
Poor Rustics cannot cheat, nor lie, nor swear;  
Encroach on Neighbour's spot of ground,  
Or put dumb Creature into Pound;  
No Covent-Garden Tricks are practised here.  None. 
Ah! Gammer, Twattle, Ah! my poor Lady,  
I wish I were no Princes Born.  
But so me poor Shepherdess Forlorn,  
To sleep all day on Mows of Hay or Corn.  
How green's the Grass? how Fine's the Tree?  
How luscious is the Black-berry?  Glozy. 
But Oh! How sweet's the Company?  Twat. 
The Company.—  Non. 
That— That; Oh goody Glozy, Oh Gammer Twat●  
I'll ne'er go home again that's Flat.  
Maids are not here confined to Rules  
As at your Whoresom Boarding Schools.  Gloz. 
How silly is the Show and Pomp,  
That's practised there by every Romp;  
First Mock-Wedding's to be seen,  Twat. 
And then with great Din, comes Mock-lying In.  
Mistress of School, must be Midwife, Old Fool;  
Mammy, and Dad, and Nurse must be had;  
And Cradle and Ladle, and Fiddle-come-faddle,  
You'd think 'em all Mad.  None. 
When Gossips are come, and fill up the Room;  
Glass goes about, till Girls cry out, A ha, a, ah ha.  Gloz. 
Drink goes down, Midwife, Run, sport's begun, all undone.  
Hold her back, or 'twill crack by my fack.  Twat. 
Alack, alack,— Caraways, run jack Ah, a, a, ha.  Non. 
Then she must whine for the Burnt Wine;  
Stools, Tools and Fools fly about;  
And at last comes out great Baby of Clout:  
Then Christening comes, and Sugar Plums,  
And Mistress Tippling like old Crony:  
Gives dainty words as sweet as honey,  
And all to gets poor children's Mony.  Gloz. 
Each strives to be in Mistress Books,  
Though Purse of Parents bleed, Gadzooks.  Twat. 
And when e'er they do play Truant,  
If she'll say she never knew on't,  
They do not care one sauce, 'gad knows,  
How silly Beldames led by th' Nose.  Non. 
And then Forsooth we must have Shoes:  
Gods, Devils, and Goddesses,  
Swayns, Satyrs, and Shepherdesses,  
Soused in dull Rhyme, and served in several Messes,  Gloz. 
Yet glittering Scenes, and Golden Dresses,  
Won't make amends for doggrel Verses.  Non. 
No, not even there where Dance and Song,  
Supported by the Mighty, and the Young,  
Though practised ne'er so often, ne'er so long,  
Though ne'er so much imposed upon the Town,  
Their own flat stuffs wrought up to pull them down,  
As a great Owl, which on bare stump bawls,  
Swelled with the whooping Music of his Throat,  
Down to the wrath of Larks and Linnets falls.  
So boasting Scribblers on their Labours dote;  
But all their swelling Hopes and Huffs,  
Critic out, like Candle puffs:  
And then they smoke, and stink like Snuffs;  
So School-Girls that have in the morn  
Been Cock a Hoop, and ruled the Roast,  
ere Noon even like an over-soaked Toast,  
Sink to the bottom of the Pot of scorn:  
These woaful Chances I have lately seen,  
And ne'er will go to School again,  
No not to be a Queen.  Twattle. 
Oh Nonesofair; sweet Miss!  
You need not have run from your good Father, I wis;  
For Prince Philip, or Prince Nicholas, if you had but said the word, would have married you while one can say what's this?  
How say by that?—  Gloz. 
— Well rhymed goody Twat.  
Not a Prince in the street, but was so loving  
He'd a kissed your Elbow to bake in your Oven;  
So says every one that knows thee.  Twat. 
Well said goody Glozy:  
Though the Coif of your heart were dry enough, God wot,  
You would not let it be smoothed, while loves Iron was hot;  
When loves strong Charms your smoothing-board environs,  
You laugh to see poor Princes shake their Irons.  Non. 
Not Sugar-cakes, nor Gingerbread,  
Me from this Country life shall lead:  
The live long day about the Fields we saunter,  
Sloes, Blackberries, and Hawes we ne'er shall want here.  
At night we 〈◊〉 Gooding,  
For Bacon, and Kale, and nappy Ale,  
Stout Bees, and figged Pudding.  Gloz. 
Ah! but sweet Lady, we want the Ready,—  
And we can't fill our Guts, if we buy not,  Twat. 
Oh, but Lady Nonesofair, look ye, d'ye see, Glory will make them come, and bring it to us with a why not:  Non. 
What ail Gammor Glozy, I mar'le what a dickens  
Don't all the Fields grow full of Hens and Chickens?  
Don't Birds grow upon Trees like Pears, what would she desire?  
Don't Pies grow in a little Brick-house, close, by the Fire?  Twat. 
And sometimes Missey we'll ●rudge a nutting.  Non. 
Faith, Gammor Twattle that was we'll put in: She Sings.  

Then the Nymphs and the Swains  
Shall trip it o'er the Plains,  
And crown me with Garlands of Roses,  
And marry me with a Rush ring:  
Then how we will firk it, caper, and jerk it  
Under the green Wood Tree.   sing and dance. Gloz. 
Very right— Oh sweet Nonesofair!  Noneso. 
Princes have no such joys as these  
When they sit down to Pork and Pease.  
What Crowding's this my ears do pull?  Music is heard. 
With which the empty Air is full.  Twat. 
Oh! Gadslidikins now I know,  
This is May-day in the morning, ho,  Non. 
Oh! is it so, then let's go straight away,  
For I'll be Lady of May.  exeunt all. Enter Costard and Redstreak. Redstr. 
O lo! O lo! Costard, who dost thou think is come hither— now?—  Costard 
— Who, who, for the mercy's sake.  Redstr 
— Guess Costard, guess.  Costard 
— Gammer Bunch the Carret-Woman.  Redstr. 
Noà, noa, noa.  Cost. 
Cicely Pountrinekets the Tripewife.  Red. 
Psshaw waw; who but Princess None sofair our Landlord King Andrews youngest Daughter—  Cost. 
Then have mercy on us, we shall see bad times;  
For I believe she's run away from School.  Redst. 
Twittle Twattle, what if she be? what have we to do With state business— perhaps she's run away Incognito with her Father's consent—  Cost. 
Now she's here, the short and the long on't is, we must choose Her Lady of May.—  Red. 
Yes by my Fay— And we'll have a Masque, and Crouder shall be Pan, and he must sing in resitantivy;  
Great Psyche go dress up the silly. Rogues,  
And then Piper shall be Chorus, and he shall sing:  
Now Pan with his fooling has made a fair hand.  
Then there must be Symphony.  Cost. 
shan't I be Symphony, Redstreak?  Red. 
Hold thy tongue, Wilta? Lord to bless us; what rowly powly, all fellows at Football? The Symphony; No, Symphony must be a woundy crank, short, tall, squat vellow with rusty Music; and he must cry like a Bird: and then we must have An Echo——  Cost. 
Oh! there's an Echo down at hollow Bank I'll call it Presently.—  Redstr. 
No no, we'll make an Echo of our own.  Cost. 
How? prithee Redstreak how;  Redstr. 
Why look thee: One must be Voice, and another must be Air, and another must be Rock; then voice must talk Soundly to Air, and beat her against Rock; and Rock must Beat her back again; and then Air must cry out, and scold With Voice, and that's Echo— Let me alone for Plot; If you will but work up the Sense and Passion, as they say; Go, and let every Mother's Child about it, and I'll entertain Princess Nonesofair the while.— Yonder she comes.  exit Costard. Enter Nonesofair, Twattle and Glozy. Non.

So I am told.

— What Crouding's this I hear, prepare.  Red. 
An entertainment which our head Hinds do for you prepare.  Twat. 
she fibs, they do't once a year, whether your at home or here.  Red. 
O Dear! 'tis for the nonce by Cocks bones.  Non. 
Well, well, be quiet, I say be quiet twice and once.  Enter a Country Crouder, followed by a Milkmaid with her pail dressed up as on May-day:— After them a company of Morris-dancers, a Sylvan, and a Dryad— Red. 
A Masque so please your Worship Madam;  
Their Garments should be better, if we had 'em.  
Pan come sing, God Pan, Chorus! Oh Symphony! where's  
Your rusty Music; so, so, 'tis well; what are You?  Syl. 
I am a Sylvan— Dry. And I am a Dryad Dame.  Red. 
Come Cheer up.—  

Pan sings.  
Great Nonesofair King Andrews Daughter dear,  
Whom we do worship, but our Dame doth fear;  
For why? you come to eat up our good Cheer.  
Here's Cake, Bread, and Pruin,  
And eke more are stewing.  
Then pray now be doing.   

Chorus.  

And Cicely, and Dolly shall trip it around,  
And Nonesofair shall have a dainty green Gown.   

Sing Damsels, Sing, and jolly Lads Sing loud,  
When Swains be blithe, the Nymphs should not be proud,  
But foot it seatly after every Crowd.  
And when you are weary,  
Lie down and be merry,  
Till cheek's red as Cherry.

Chorus, Symphony, Pan; stand to your Fittles, can you be merry sweet Princess? Echo; where's Echo, Rock, Ayr, Voice? Oh dull, dull!  Non. 
Fret not thyself sweet Redstreak.  Red. 
Oh Lord your Worship,— a pax take ye;  
Come, or I'll fetch you in with a Hedge-stake,  
For Courtesy you have no Peer.  Nonsy. 
Methinks 'tis most serene and clear.  Red. 
Serene and clear, that I'll remember I warrant ye:

Chorus of All.  
Dayzy Roots do mar the growth;  
And Marjorum is good for Broth.  
But Beef 'tis makes us lusty,  
I love thee Sue, I'll take my Oath,  
Then why art thou so crusty?  
Thou shalt have Eggs and Clary,  
Faddle Fiddle,  
hay down Diddle.  
Faith let's be merny.   Exeunt all the Dancers singing, Red. 
It may be sweet Princes. You like not this Solemn Music, Faddle Fiddle, hay down Diddle,— I value not myself upon the Wit, but the fitness of the words; for Air and Melody.  
Faddle Fiddle hay, down Diddle,  
Faith let's be merry;  
I have skill though I say't, that shud'nt, as they say for the jews Trump-Citizen, and Trump-Marine, I'll turn my back to none, though some have been bred up many years to't; I myself chalked out the way to the Tune-Maker: I know I have many Foes, that say I make not what I own, but mum for that: This Rare Opera is all mine I'll swear; but for the Dress and Trim, give the Devil his due, I am beholding to the most Serene and clear Monsieur Stephen, the King's Corn-cutter, and so you are all, for he put me upon't.  
Now if, that you'll wall in to close-up all,  
We'll have a most Serene and clear Rank Ball.  Exit Redstreak. Non. 
Oh happy silly life, what sports are here?  
Noise without noise, grief without care;  
Joys without joys, and frights without fear.  
E'er all the World, me from this life ●●all hall;  
I'll cry, lie down in ground, and kick and sprawl.  Enter Ambition, an Alderman's Wife; Power, Schoolmistress, Plenty an Ale Wife, and Peace a Zealot. Plen. 
See where she is, Oh! Missy you're a Fine Princess to run away from your Friends so.—  Pow. 
You put your Father, King Andrew into a fine twitter twatter.  Amb. 
I come to fetch you from this life of Beast,  
To grand Solemnity of City Feast;  
Leave smoky Cot, and Cakebread tough,  
There's Custards hot, and Fools enough:  
Leave Tib and Tom, for good Householder,  
There's Capon fat, and Mutton shoulder.  
Leave Eldern whistle, Gut of Cats,  
For City Hornpipe and Waits;  
By me even Mrs. Steward you shall sit,  
Whose Lily hand carves every bit.  
And tells the price to show housewifely Wit,  
Lump shall be carried home too in Kerchief Wallet;  
Or else it shall go hard infaith lafoy, shall see't,  
By me to noble thoughts you shall be brought,  
And all the Arts of City Madam taught.  
Locket on Arm, Ring on Finger,  
Of Bobs too, in each ear a Clinger;  
With finger's end, or Diamond Ring to play,  
And cry, Oh! Lord when you have nought to say:  
Finely to stretch, or show the pouting lip,  
I'll teach you when to cry foro'th, or sip;  
I'll teach you how to filch and spend,  
Dull Husband's muck on courtly Friend;  
Yet with grave mouth to rail at th' other end.  
Of this wild Town.—  
Leave boars with limbs, more stiff and hard then Oak,  
And think of ruling sparks in Camlet Cloak;  
Fresh Sweethearts every day new love shall swear:  
And in all junckers, who 〈◊〉 Nonesofair.  
Come, come, wed rich retailing Prince; be Great,  
Sit finely dressed in Shop, serve God, and cheat.  Pow. 
I from your silly life do you invite,  
I, whose dread Sceptre every child does fright;  
Presents, and Fasting days are my delight.  
If Nonesofair will back to School with me,  
None of my Girls shall eat so much as she;  
And so that I may get the Pence,  
With any Apprentice, Lord, or Footman Prince,  
I'll give her leave to run away from thence.  Plenty. 
Is this a place for Nonesofair.  
As stately Painted Alehouse is fitter far,  
Come, go with me, and keep my splendid Barr.  
Princess, thou shalt Govern there,  
Luxurious Ale, and double Beer.  
Thy heart in precious Brandy thou shalt soak,  
In clouds of strong Mundungus smoke;  
Hid like a Goddess thou shalt lie,  
Till thou art comely, Plump, and fair as I;  
With ease, Fat Bub, and Virtuous Luxury.  Peace. 
And I, that thy delights may never cease,  
Will steel thy soul with an audacious peace.  
And lift up every sense,  
With zealous Impudence:  
When envious People rail, thou shalt reply,  
The Saints have suffered still, and so must I.  
Let vicious Innocence be all thy care,  
Such peace becomes chaste wanton Nonesofair.  Nonsy. 
Blessed are the Rich, and Happy, eke are those  
That never saw Lord-Mayors Puppet Shows;  
Nor like clean Beasts stood chewing cribs,  
Till Coat was burnt from Rump with Squibs,  
Ambition ne'er shall stick to my ribs.  Power, 
in vain you huff and brag;  
Since I have given School the bag,  
Catch me there again, and cut off my leg.  
Plenty has told a tempting tale,  
But in the mind I am I'll drink no Ale.  
Peace notably has spoke, but pains must lose;  
Girls know more now e'er they can tie their shoes.  
You have your answers,  
And may be gone Sirs.  Plenty 
— How say by that?  Power 
— She knows not what for herself is good:  
Therefore let's force her up between Dorsers,  
And carry her home in spite of her blood a.  
Come Mrs. Minx.  Nonsy 
— I won't goodly stinks,  Amb. 
I Faith, but you shall a.  Non 
— I defy you all, a Grandjurie of Furies.  
Oh Mrs. Ambition, pity my Condition.  Power. 
Oh Power, let me stay but one hour.  
Gammer Plenty I'll Saint ye sweet face goody Peace,  
Pity my case, Furies, Devils, Plagues; Bastard, help Redstreak.  
Help Costard; Oh here's Prince Nicky I Faith He'll lick ye.  Enter Prince Nicklas and Amb. Pow. Plent. and Peace run off. Nick. 
Since Queans are gone that came eftsoons to humble ye,  
Oh let me now anon hear my last Doom most humbly.  Nons. 
The first request I did command,  
Was, that you should not hunt me out:  
The next request you understand,  
Will make you hang your ears, and pout.  
My peace you here come for to break,  
After my back, why should you sneak?  Nick. 
— Cows that do fill our Guts can't long be hid,  
Though Mice run into holes, none see,  
When they have eat our Bread and Cheese,  
And stink most basely when they're dead.  
Sweet Cow you hide your Teats in vain,  
Though your full Udder fills another's pan,  
Give me some strokings to ease my pain.  Non. 
Prince Nick buckle of girdle turn,  
For Milk of mine you ne'er shall churn  
Without's my skin, but mind's within;  
Though you my hand may find, you cannot reach my mind.  Nick. 
Will You on you take just such blame,  
As Ciss did lay upon her Dame;  
Make faults to punish them. Oh fie for shame!  
If Dame should give her Fish to fry,  
She must give Butter by and by.  
Let ciss without Butter do what she can,  
If she no Butter has, she burns the Pan:  
Butter to save, she does Dame offend,  
Who gave her Butter then to no end.  
Cisses unbuttered things may get her kicks,  
For all her Maggots and her drop-nosed tricks.  
Butter can't err, Ciss out o'th'way may turn:  
Though Ciss may fret, yet Butter cannot burn.  Non. 
Butter good Dames have still allowed enough,  
But Maids turn Butter into Kitchenstuff:  
So when they saw their Butter thrown away,  
They put their Butter under lock and key.  Nick. 
— If Dames Engine by Ciss must governed be,  
And Butter spent— For what a Devil serves she?  
Must Maids dry Chops be buttered, they'll ne'er keep touch,  
Though they are ailed with Butter ne'er so much.  
Oh Nonesofair! sweet Dame I am your man,  
My heart's unbuttered burning in your Pan,  
Without some Butter, it can never move:  
Oh Butter it with Butter of your love.  Non. 
Against yourself sweet Prince you've said too much,  
I'll keep my Butter since you can't keep touch.  
Go somewhere else, and make your greasy puns,  
I love no buttered Fish, nor buttered buns'.  Nick. 
— Butter, Oh sweet Butter; ease my hissing smart,  
And Butter None-so-fairs unbuttered heart.  Enter Prince Philip. Nick. 
Prince Philip, here that mighty lout,  
Gad then 'tis time to look about.  Non. 
Oh you sneaking Prince, what would you have had?  Phil. 
Oh thou little Devil! I love thee like mad:  
And Ihill take thee at a venture hab nab.  Nick. 
Fierce love full soon must die I think,  
And vanish like abortive slinck.  Phil. 
My love's zoo abomination strong,  
That 'twill hold buckle and thong;  
And if dozned get thee vurder aveel,  
shalt zee ' can strike vyre with my steel.  Nick. 
— Gods—  Phil. 
— Gods— and Devils!  
thou talk'st of Courage, if thouhast any,  
Here be the Cudgels, let's have a veny.  Nick. 
I don't care much if I have one touch.  They play Cudgels. Non. 
— Princess, hold for all your Squablin,  
Cannot purchase my Tantablin.  Phil. 
Adzboard Prince Nick, c'm yours.  
If None-zo-vair zay do't, Ihill buss thy root.  Nick. 
— Prince Philip for fair Trollop,  
Whose voice might bear of whelp beguile a,  
Or Bread and Butter beg from Child a.  
I'm thine—  Non. 
— The next command of mine, in brief  
Is after me no more to sniff.  
Princess farewell, without or and if.  Nick. 
— So sad are the commands that you do give,  
That without meat or drink I cannot live.  Phil. 
Your mind that upon our veirce wrath prevails,  
Can when you please, make hot or cool your nails.  exit Nonesofair. Enter Woudhamore and Sweet-lips. Phil. 
But Zee, Zee, laud to bless us, if here beened her  
Zusturs' now.— Come Prince Nick, let's budge.  Sweet. 
Great Princess, whither d'ye sneak from this place?  Would. 
To Nonesofair, their Calf with a white face.  Sweet. 
I wonder what Princely virtues you can see in her i'faggs.  
Can she make Butter, and Cheese, and Eggs?  Would. 
She's a Bastard, some Village Hind got her under a  
Hedge, when our Royal Mother was overtaken at a Wake.  
Love us Princess, here's your true beauty.  Phil. 
There's your Anchovies. [roll.  Would. 
Here's a Cherubimical Face, mark how my Eyes  
Here's a Languishing look, Ah!—  Phil. 
Odzboars my Stomach begins to wamble at her.  Would. 
Here's a foot like a Fairy, and a leg like a Lapwing.  Phil. 
Look Prince Nick, Ihill wager a Groat there's zomething at the end of thick leg,— there's your Anchovies.  Sweet. 
Here's your white Hounds Tooth.  Would. 
Here's your Illustrious Persian Hawk-Nose.  Sweet.

SONG.  
God Cupid, Oh fie, O fie, Oh fie,  
God Cupid Oh fie, Oh fie,  
I am vexed full sore,  
Oh! thou Son of a Whore.  
Take pity on me or I die, I die,  
Take pity on me or I die.  
My face is Pale and wan,  
My blood is turned to a jelly;  
In my heart I have a grenat pain,  
Oh! Oh! how I long for a man,  
With a Sol, my, fa, lafoy, lang tre down derry.   Phil. 
Oh Prince Nick, ch'ad lever ha' one o'th' theze then a Cow, o'Ten groats.— Con ye milk a dreelegged Stool? live vive Months upon the droppings of your Nose? and lie with no body but your own Husbands?  Both. 
Ay, ay, any thing for Husbands.  Phil. 
Then give me your hands,— good buy to ye with all my heart—  Exit. Philip. Would. 
Oh! Villainous Clown, I think we are abused.  Sweet. 
Were ever Ladies bright so used?  
Surely there's more of honour in Prince Nicklas:  Would. 
He looks like a Gentleman, sure he'll tickle us.  Nick. 
Sweet lips, and would hamor you each, and both,  
May keep your Princely wind to cool hot broth.  
You know your Cheer, and may go chew your Cuds,  
For I'll have Nonesofair, or lie ithed Suds,  
This is my dire resolve, witness ye Gods.  Exit Nicklas. Sweet. 
Rot her beauty, while the case is thus,  
No Crouder e'er will Fiddle us.  Would. 
Each day she can command a several King,  
As if the Gods, to do more had nothing.  
But to make Kings for her,  
Oh laud, Oh lack, Oh dear.  
With straining I am almost burst, hay ho;  
What shall we do for all our Cake is do,  Sweet. 
Well I will straight complain to Mother Wosset.  
And she shall Snuff a Candle in her Posset;  
Brick Wall her Temple does Environ,  
Backdoor too is fenced with spikes of Iron.  
Oh! Mother Wossat, you that can  
By Circles dark, and deep, trappan,  
The heart of any Jill or Jan.  
Oh! help us to debauch this Jade,  
Or her eoy tricks will mar thy Trade.  Would. 
No Citizen will pawn his Cloak;  
No Country Squire will love one stroke,  
And how can then thy Chimney smoke?  
Nay, if things go on so oddly,  
All the Gallants will turn godly.  
And then for Bub thou mayst go choke.  Sweet. 
Rouse mightily Woossat, Mantle done,  
Thy hagship Venge, or Credits gone,  
Make haste, and let's know off, or on.  Horrid Music heard in the Air. Would. 
Ha! what powerful Melody appears?  
And snacthes thus our ears?  Woossat appears in a Chariot drawn by two Brooms. Sweet. 
The Chariot of the Goddess comes,  
Drawn by a Brace of well grown Brooms.  Woossat sings. 

Fair Damsels I have heard you prate,  
You shall have Husbands soon or late.  
I am as mad as any Dog to find,  
You've had so little good of humane kind,  
But there's the more behind.  
I will so order Nonsey's Princely louts,  
You shall be satisfied and leave your pouts:  
With Nonsey now is Daddy dear  
And hand in hand theyare gone to wishing Chair,  
Good fortune for to hear.  
That Rogue will very civil prove to me,  
For Witch and juggler never disagree:  
To you and me so kind he'll prove,  
That when you feel his love,  
You'll give half piece to buy him fringed glove.   Woossat ascends. Sweet. 
Great Beldame, me thy hagship thank,  
And now methinks I in wondrous Crank.  Would. 
While young we'll to loves Altar bow;  
And when we're old be even as thou.  Enter King Andrew, Nonesofair, Twattle, Glozy, and Attendants. K. 
And Daughters, by the love that you do bear me,  
And the duty which I owe you, hear me:  
Cease your brawling, and your Twittle Twattle.  
At the Rose let's call in, and drink a loving bottle.  
Then we'll to the wishing chair,  
If that don't ease your cares,  
I'll give you both my Royal ears,  
I think that's very fair.  
None-so-fair's agreed sweet Lady,  
Will you deny poor harmless Daddy?  
What er'you wish for you will have,  
Else say King Andrew is a knave.  Non. 
Cheer up Sisters, why should you look so gloomy?  
What er'the wishing chair shall say:  
The King, and That I will obey,  
Else may this liquour ne'er go through me.  K. And. 
Come let's not on each other stare,  
But hie us to the wishing chair:  
That will set all right in a minuit,  
Or else I think the Devil's in it.  
So swimmingly we'll carry matters,  
All pristine Poets that come after's.  
To sing Heroic love and slaughters,  
shall write of King and his three Daughters.  Exeunt.  
The End of the first Act.   

ACT II.  

SCENE I.  Enter Wossat and Bruine. Woss. 
SOn Bruin mind your hits, I say mind your hits; this young cold Harlottry Nonesofair, must be soused, and toused d'ye mark me; she must be tumbled and jumbled; she must I say it, or else the Noble Science of Wenching will grow obsolete, and all our Famous Function may starve; for after that, who will pity poor decayed old Gentlewomen that carry Letters? or suffer Pours, Points, Paint, or Patches, to be brought to their Chambers? And you of the Illustrious Society of Pimping, may hang if you have Courage enough to deserve it; or die in holes like poisoned Rats; You will be shouted through the Street, like strange Dogs with horns at their tails, pumped and baited like Spirits that steal children; every Cuckold will have a snap at your Carcases.  Bru. 
Then one comfort will be that our miseries will be short lived, for those Beasts you talk of swarm so thick, that 't will be impossible to pass one Street without being worried to death. Every public Assembly looks like a Picture of the Creation before man was made, filled up with variety of Creatures, that show all Horns and Tails.  Woss. 
'Tis for our honour, know that I will revive the Sect of Adamites, renew the Family of Love, and make the slavery of Marriage so out of fashion, that a Man and Wife shall be showed about, and wondered at as much as an Hermaphrodite, an entire Egyptian Mummy, or a Cat with two tails.  Bru. 
I know Mother your Interest with the Gentry is great, there is hardly a Noble Family, where one of your Order, does not lie hid under the shape of a Cousin, Housekeeper, Waiting Women, Chambermaid, or the like.—  Woss. 
That I learned from my Brother on the other side of the water: whose Emissaries are all disguised, his precepts and mine agree in most circumstances. We had rather allow 20 Whores then one wife to those of our order; I will bring up here that old Scotch Custom, that every Lord of the Manor shall have the first night's dalliance with the Bodies of all his Vassals.  Bru. 
That will assure you the hearts of all the great Ones, and keep the others from Marriage, so your business is done.  Woss. 
But first let None-so-fair's business be done.  Bou. 
I dare not; she is King Andrews best beloved daughter.  Woss. 
Were she the skin between her brows, I'denot spare her; do't or forswear thy Office.—  Bru. 
That I could easily do, for 'tis not now worth keeping, if there's any new piece worth Money, a Father, Brother, or some Relation, Usurps our office, and reaps the profit.  Woss. 
'Tis too true, and 'tis unconscionable, that Christians should turn Cannibals, and feed upon their own flesh and blood, my case is even as bad too; I that have spent my Youth to gain experience, must in my Age be Nosed, and have my Bread taken from my Teeth, by every Black browed Baggage, that leaps into the public Practice of procuring, e'er they know the mystery of jilting; nay too often learn both together.  Bru. 
In the City they dare not use two Trades at once; but in the Suburbs they may do any thing.—  Woss. 
Your Midwife, who is related to our Craft, as a Physician is to a Mountebank; for we make work for them to finish, though we Lay six to their one, suffers none to profess their Art till they have been Deputies seven years.— Well, things and things must be mended; but first to the point, King Andrews three Daughters are coming to the wishing Chair: the two elder are mad for Husbands, their business is done to our hands.—  Bru. 
Quite contrary; for if they Marry they'll renounce you.  Woos. 
No! Though ordinary people that pretend not to the modish, Marry to live sullen, that is, chaste. Others know better things; your Gentleman stands now as much for the privilege of keeping a Miss after Marriage, as a Woman with a Portion does for a Jointure: Ay! and inserts it into that Covenant.— Make us thankful, we live in a loving Age,— but to the point— Nonesofair, by my means is resolved to wish the White Bear of Norwich to be her Husband; thinking, which is indeed true, that there is no such thing, though we have frighted silly people into that belief, to cheat them the better.  Bru. 
Oh! now I find your meaning, that White Bear I will be; and the King being possessed with a Reverence to our Juggling wishing Chair; shall himself bring her to my Arms.—  Woss. 
Very good; but lest she should be stubborn, let jeffery be ready to assist you in your pious design.  Bru. 
If we can but wheedle them into an awful faith.  Woss. 
Why? should not the speech, of a Chair, do as much as Apollo's tripod, a Spirit in a Wall; or the eyes of Images moved with Wires: let all be Grave and Solemn, for that's the chief support of Counterfeit worship: and let your expressions be in Greek, or any unpractised canting Gibberish.  Bru. 
Enough, I'll warrant the business.  Woos. 
This Music tells their approach, let's dispatch and attend them in.—  Soft Music. The Scene drawn, discovers the wishing Chair. Enter a Boy in a Surplice dancing, followed by two women bearing a Chaffing dish between them, and smoking Tobacco; after them comes the Chief Priest in a Fools-coat, his Train supported by two in like habit, two Priests in Surplices follow them; then come two Judges playing on Jews-trumps followed by a Cardinal, playing on a Child's Fiddle; two in grave habits follow him playing on children's Pipes; then comes a Major beating a little Drum; after him the King leading Nonesofair. Prince Nick and Sweet-lips, Philip and Woudha. attended— with Guards etc. They pass round the Stage, and place themselves on each side, and the Chief Priests before the Chair, and the two in Surplices on each side. 

Song.  
Let Maudlin lovers that are in despair,  
And musty Virgins at their latest Prayer.  
To be freed from their troubles, come hither.  
And Widows, whose fires  
Of unnatr'all desires.  
Have parched up their faces like leather.   

Chorus.  
We'll dry up their tears, and ease all their Care,  
With a delicate thing called a new wishing chair.   

Of crackling tell-tale Wicker 'tis not made,  
Which loves dear Secrets has too oft'betrayed.  
To this Chair so much Virtue is given.  
That when you are in  
At the turning a pin.,  
You will think you are going to Heaven.   

Chorus.  
We'll etc.   

With offerings laden, to the chair make haste,  
Before the precious time of wishing's past.  
For when once the kind Engine is falling,  
You must bear your pain,  
Till the time come again  
Though you rend the moist Clouds with your bawling.   

Chorus.  
We'll dry up your tears. etc.   
The Priests how, and mutter to the Chair; then turn to the People.  

Song.  
Son of Latrona thou great rogue,  
Here's Nonesofair her grief to disimbogue.  
The jade is skittish, full of treachery  
But wilful rude, and loath to try.   

Chorus.  
Lo here's the Fool King Andrew too,  
Let's cheat them firmly er'they go.  
Let's cheat, etc.—   Chief Priest. 
— The Sacred Chair vouchsafes that all  
Upon all four should to him fall.  All fall on their hands. Chair. 
Hoh, hoh, hoh, hoe, hoe, hoe:  Ch. P. 
— Your offerings are accepted, stand by my Cronies,  
Till we have finished all the Ceremonies.  Chair roars. 

Ha! the mystic Chair begins to frown,  
All that have wealth, must lay it down.  
Keep nought of Pride, or Riches near you,  
Lest Chair in wrath to pieces tear you.   
They all lay down their Money, Swords, etc. which the Priests gather up.  Song by the two Priests. 1. Pr. 
Thou pickest the Butcher's knife out of his mouth,  
Thou robbest a poor old woman of her tooth.  2. Pr. 
— Thou didst the monstrous Flesh-flies to destroy,  
Who bred the Maggots which did Beef o'er run.  Chorus. 

Thou sly, and bawling Thief go on with joy,  
Their Money, Swords, and Hats are all our own.   A Dance by the two Priests. Song. 1. Pr. 
By german Princess that notorious cheat.  2. Pr. 
By Cressets memory we thee entreat,  
Thou wouldst with noise, and show blind all their eyes.  1. Pr. 
Lest they our silly Opera despise,  
Chorus of both.— Lest they our silly Opera despice.  

Chorus.  
Now Croudy mutton is come out of France,  
Tom thimble has made show complete,  
jews-trumps, and Cymbals sound, and let us dance,  
Since Wool' is small, let ery be great.   A Dance. The Invocation. 2. Pr.

Some shall hollow, some Dance and Sing,  
hay ding, ding, ding, hay ding, ding,  
Omn'a been— Omn'a bene.  
Ding, ding, ding, with hay ding, ding ding,  
With hay, etc.—   The Chief Priest seats Nonesofair in the Chair, it Thunders and Lightens; the Chair sinks, and in its place a dreadful shape arises, and says.— 
The Princess to the Chair is pleasing,  
And all her troubles now are easing.  The Chief Priest turns over his head, and the other two Priests take the little Boy in the Surplice, and whip him while they Sing this. 

He took him by the Lily Frock,  
And scourged him full sore;  
A long half hour by the Clock,  
Alack a day therefore,  
While Youth doth last, the changes Ring,  
With a ding dung, ding dung ding,  
When Youth is flown, and Age is come,  
The Clappers down, the Bell doth groan:  
And call you to a sad long home,  
With a heavy, heavy, heavy boam, boam.   The Chief Priest rises and waves his Wand thrice. Ch. Pr. 
Comorah whee, Comorah whee, Comorah whee.  All answer bowing. 
Shoolimocroh, Shoolimocroh, Shoolimocroh.  Ch. Pr. 
— Kiss Betty.  All answ. bowing. 
— Pollykagathoy.—  It Thunders and Lightens, the Priest waves his Wand, all squat down— the dreadful shape sinks, and the Chair rises kissing Nonesofair,— and she immediately comes out of it. Ch. Pr. 
Behold the Chair.—  [All rise up hastily and bow. Ch. Pr. 
Now Nonesofair, has had her wish,  
And first you shall hear what it is;  
And after we will sacrifice a— Fish.  K. And. 
Oh Sir! we humbly do beseech  
To know who shall her Husband be,  
For that our very Ears do itch;  
And if you please we fain would see.  It Thunders and Lightens extremely, and then the Chair delivers this Oracle.— 

Lead Nonesofair to yonder Wood,  
Where Lover showle like Beasts for Food,  
There she must sigh, and weep a good.  
And so you there must leave her,  
For the White Bear of Norwich must have her.  
To her he will be very Civil,  
Be gone, 'tis vain to huff or snivil.   K. And. 
O fie, O fie, O laud, O me forlorn,  
Would I had died e'er I was born;  
I have spent my Youth fair,  
To get a wife for a Bear.  Would. 
Lippy, I could leap out of my skin for joy Mother Woossut, a brave Beldame! she has keeped her word.  Sweet. 
Nothing vexes me, but that I must be Aunt to her litter of Cubs.— We shall have roaring Nephews.—  K. And. 
Troop, troop, if I keep in this dreadful mind,  
I will come back, but I'll leave my life behind.  Nick. 
Hold, hold, King Andrew stay, be wise I say,  
And done't the Gods obey;  
If 'twere good that Nonesofair were given to the Bear,  
You should heard on't before y' had known't.  Phil. 
But if 'tis bad, then 'tis not good, we know what's what.  
We must not shed the guiltless blood,  
Yet Nonesofair, poor Sheep must go to pot.  
Gods, you would be veazed, wo'r you z'ard in your kind,  
Warrant you're never half an hour in a mind.  Nick 
King be not cheated not cullied King; I'll be hanged if there is not a live thing in the wishing Chairl, did ned you see how Nonesofair was tickled, did not she spin like a Top, and stand upon her head like a Juggler; 'tis a damned Son of a Whore Chair, and he lies, and I am not satisfied.—  Pr. 
Oh Sir, take heed for Crimes like this,  
The Sacred Chair has Rods in piss.  K. And. 
When wishing Chair his Silence broke,  
I do believe Tom-tumbler spoke.  Pr. 
The wonders of our wishing Chair, proved by Miracle, and that shows the truth of the power of the wonder.  Nick. 
The Power is governed by the Order, which commands the Power and the Order, Rules the Beauty which governs the Order, which is found tied fast to the end of the Creation, in a long round Chain; and things, and things lose fast upon one another, I don't know howish, like bunches of Paper at a Kites tail, and so by a plain orderly method of Power and Order, and Order without Power, and Power without Order; and no Power, and no Order, and no Order, but a kind of Dis-orderly Powerful Order.  
The fixed World is drawn, confined at large;  
As men in Ropes tied loose, tug Western Barge.  Ch. Pr. 
You and your Nature are mere Ignorance,  
But we appear to wise foreseeing chance.  Nick. 
If Nature is less than Miracle, when Heaven uses Supernatural Miracle; the Gods declare their Power. less, because Miracle is greater than Nature;— But if the Gods make children, when Nature's Instrument is out of tune: They use no Nature, because Nature without Nature; is not Nature, but Miracle Unnatural, miraculous Nature.  Phil. 
There's your Anchovies; Priest— 'twas woundy well spoke, and zooe if this begranted; I he Gods can, but they won't; because they would, but they cannot, and they won't, and they cannot, and they cannot, any they won't, and so.  
They'll ne'er be mad, because they're not long in a mind,  
Az a deaf Hostess can't zee, because she's blind.  Ch. Pr. 
Avaunt you scoffing Blades, avaunt,  
The Thundering Gods begin to Rant.  It Thunders, and Lightens, the Chair sinks, and the Priests, and all their Attendants run off the Stage. Phil. 
What dost think, we be wild Irish; and will run away,  
Because the Clouds be troubled with the wind colic,  
Odzbboars dost think i'll, lose my Coin, and my Parcel?  Non. 
The Gods and wishing Chair, we must obey,  
And I will go, because I cannot stay.  K. And. 
— Come my sweet Pigsney let's make haste,  
If Bear eats thee for his breakfast:  
As I'm a sinner. He shall have me for a dinner.  Nick. 
Thus great—— was betrayed,  
And Psyche taken from her Dad,  
Though Princess huffed, and swore like mad.  Exeunt all but Philip. Phil. 
— All gwon, zure 'tis a Bawdy-house,  
Warrant there cham twoald they use you thus,  
Be vengeance crank, till you are snoring drunk,  
And then away shirks Money, clothes, and Punk.  
The Gods may well rain Golden showrs,  
Into the Laps of Paramours:  
Credit is theirs, but cost is ours;  
Ch'ave not one penny left my drought to quench,  
If this be Religion; give me a Wench. there's your Anchoules.  Exit Phillipl

SCENE III. A Wilderness.  Enter King Andrew, Sweet-lips, Woudha. and Nonesofair. Non. 
O Royal Dad, see, how he blubbers,  
Kings should not whine so like great lubbers.  K. A. 
O slip! O Daughter mine! where art thou gadding?  
I ne'er shall hear thee more sing with a fadding.  
Oh! that could grave thee hadst thou put in,  
Before by me thou were't begotten:  
Why should the Gods be so barbraous?  
Oh! that thou'dst died in Natures Warehouse,  
Then Death that cunning old Shop-lifter,  
From stall of eyes had never snift her.  Non 
— Your sniv'ling melts me, so that I shall be quite dead before I die.  K. And. 
Oh ye Gods!  
I've many a day paid Scot, and lot,  
And well I'm served, now am I not.  Nons. 
— Oh! Sir begone, begone, I say,  
For if you tarry here,  
My life it will soon sneak away:  
And cheat the Gods, and eke the bear,  
Sisters two I leave you here,  
To keep you clean and sweet.  
Be good unto my Daddy dear,  
For so 'tis very meet.  
Each week let him have shirt full clean,  
Let head be combed, and washed his face.  
Let holes be mended in hoses,  
Himself can't do't, you see alas.  
Sir, On my knees I you beseech,  
To leave me now alone.  
For why my Elbows both do itch,  
Till you are fled, and gone.  
O! Budge away from this place flat all,  
For if the Bear should come, have at all.  
Bye Daddy for ever and a day.  K. And. 
— Mine own dear Hussey do not so say,  
Bespeak a place for me below there:  
For I'll come down some time of other,  
And d'ye hear, remember me to your Mother.  Exeunt all but Nonesofair. Noneso. 
For all so well I hid my fears,  
Death's Calumny my facebesmears,  
Laud what a quiddie am I in i'fack; i'fack,  
You may wring the shift upon my back:  
If 'twere but Flesh and Blood I would not fear,  
But to be toused by nought, but claws and hair,  
Hair, stiffer then, an old man's Beard,  
Would make the stoutest Vizard here afeard  
Why should I speak so; the Chair told me, the bear would be kind to me, I'll shut my eyes, and think, A'tis some Gallant in Masquerade with Fur'd-Coat on, but then he can't cry like a discreet soft Counter, d'ye know me now? no He'll roar ●oh, ho, ho, and 〈◊〉 oh like a Drunken Soldier at the Sack of a City.  Enter Philip and Nicklas. Phil. 
O hoe! here she is— pluck up Heart, O Grace! here take my muckender, and dry thy ey'n, c'm the Blood, O'the Phillips! ne'er a Dog in the Village can zay, blacks mine eye; but in the way of love and honesty, and av'ore the Bear shall eat one bit o've thee.  
Princess Ihill beat my Oaken Plant to th'stumps,  
Don't windle zoo, but leave thy doleful dumps.  Nick. 
— Let Guts and Garbage feed white Bears,  
Poor strolling Cracks and Wastcoteers:  
Not Gods, but cheating Crew of juggling Chair,  
Are mad to make a Meal on Royal Gueer.  Non. 
I will not hear the Sacred Chair abused.  Nick. 
— Poor harmless Rogue! how sadly he's misused?  
Great Princess, since grim ●uc●us coming,  
No longer here, let's stay Caps thrumming.  
Come jog along with us good Fellows,  
We will regale you at next Alehouse.  
And of one kiss of Bona Robas.  
Bears, Gods, nor Devils, shall not bob us.  Non. 
No more great Sirs was't Courtship here,  
You take the wrong sow by the ear,  
For by Lord Harry I'el ne'er marry,  
And when I do, it shan't be you,  
Thereforego too.  A Roaring within as of a Boar. Phil. 
Odzboars Prince Nick.  Ston. 
Vast, here's the Anchovies.  Nick. 
Bear up, Philip, bear up.  Phil. 
Ay, ay, but don't hunch me zoo, Ihill warn't vor one.  A Roaring again, the Bear enters, seizeth the Princess, and sinks with her, while Jeffry with a switch beats of the Princes.

Scene III.  Enter Payers with Beaters on thyir shoulders, and their Master with his measuring Rod. 

SONG.  
YOu tough brawny Lads, that can live upon stone;  
And skin the hard Flint for good liquour:  
Let love to the Idle, and wealthy begone,  
And let preaching alone to the Vicar;  
Let all be made plain, with your Strikers and Thumpers,  
And when your works done, we'll about with the Bumpers.   

The little blind God, of which lovers do prate,  
Makes all that adore him grow lazy,  
For counterfeit blessings he long makes you wait,  
And with sighs and diseases he pays ye.  
But he you serve now, with your Strikers and Thumpers,  
When the works done, will about with the Bumpers.   1. Pav. 
The Walks are all graveled, and the Bower shall be prepared for the Bear and Nonsey.  2. Pa. 
But e'er wego in, let the Drinking begin,  
And then we will Thump it again.  

Chorus.  
With full double Pots,  
Let us liquour our throats.  
And then we'll to work with a hoh, ho, ho,  
But let's drink e'er we go, let's drink e'er we go.   Mast. 
Then toss up your liquour, and to labour make haste,  
The time is too precious to waste.  Chorus— With full double, etc. 1. Pav. 
Here Harry.—  2. Pav. 
Here Will.  3. Pav.

Dispatch, or the Bear, or the Princess will chide,  
For Love can no hindrance abide.  Pa. 
There's more need of drinking, drinking, then kissing by odds.  
We'll bouse it in spite of the Gods.  Chorus— With full double, etc. A Dance, and all run off. Inter Bruin and Jeffry. Bru. 
Brave Boys all, 'tis as well done as if I had chalk ' out the way myself; and it had been doing 16 whole Months, by the excellent approved, great most Famous, Ingenious, Industrious, careful Society of morefield's; Well Geoffrey, what dost think of my Missy Nonesofair!  jeffry. 
Think! Oh she's the delicat'st, but of Man's meat that e'er lips were laid to, or legs laid over; she's an armful for one of the Gods, for jupiter himself in his Altitudes.  Bru. 
In his Altitudes— what's that?  jeffry. 
Why that's drunk as David's Sow, with Nectar and Ambrosia, which is stout Mum, and Brandy; the Gods drink upon Holidays, But Sir, is not Nonesofair a little soft childish, no wiser than she should be?  Bru. 
I thought thou hadst known better; all cunning Amorous Women, put on a modish seeming. Innocent Ignorance, that they may have pleasure without loss of reputation, 'tis a modest way of wooing, and as pleasant to the hearers, as great lies ingeniously made, and seriously told, for things that come nearest Truth; and are not so, are most taking.  jeffry. 
Therefore, young Gallants are so much pleased with being like Gentlemen; and the total of all the praise, they would give a Friend, ends in.— Gad, in short he's much like a Gentleman; the Devil take me, much like a Gentleman?—  Bru. 
Ay! that is, he Swears, Drinks, Games, and Whores, which are no more the true accomplishments of a right Gentleman; then Huffing, and speaking loud Nonsense, are of the Gods, whatever our Friends, the Fops, and the Poets, which are much like one another, say to the contrary.—  jeffry. 
Apollo, the wishing Chair told me.—  Bru. 
Pox take that liquorish Rogue, he has been beforehand, he'll have a hand in every sack,— what did he say?  jeffry. 
When he kissed her, she cried Oh laud! why do ' e kiss a body so, I'll tell my Father, so I will.—  Bru. 
Ay, and thrust out her lips as 'twere to push him away, when 'twas only to kiss closer?—  jeffry. 
And when he talked a little,— I don't know howish, you know of that same,— she looked so wistly, and Innocently in his face.  Bru. 
As Ignorant People do on one that speaks a Foreign Language.—  jeffry. 
Ay, and repeated every strange word so harmlessly, and cried what's that now?  Bru. 
And was as curiously inquifitive, as if she were learning a new stitch on her Sampler.—  jeffry. 
And looked with such Religious Languishing Eyes.  Bru. 
Religious Languishing Eyes?  jeffry. 
Ay, as if she were at Prayers.  Bru. 
Thou incorrigible Fool— If a Woman looks so, though in the Church; thou mayst swear her thoughts are in the very Altitudes of Love— Her heart's drunk with it, and her eyes reel, and are dazzled her dying Eyes, think thyself into an Amorous ecstasy, and I'll tell thee how thou look'st.  jeffry. 
Gad, and so I will.  Bru 
Now, now, now, there's your Religious, languishing; drunken, dying Eyes.  jeffry. 
Oh, oh, aha.—  Bru. 
There's your Anchovies, as Prince Philip says.  jeffry. 
I'll swear 'tis very pretty, but why won't you appear to her like a Gentleman?—  Bru. 
No, no, when she sees me in this invisible shape, like a Prince, she'll think I'm a God, and will make her a Lady. When love thus storms a Fort, and enters by force, he plunders freely, and imposes what conditions he will; but when he comes sneaking, and creeping like a Boy after a Butterfly, Ten to one but she flies off, and he falls into the next Ditch; for where love is in motion, like Water thrown on the ground: 'twill fall into the first hollow place it finds.  
My love comes, jeffry to your Post, away,  
Take care that none disturb our Play;  
'Twill be your own another day.  Exeunt Bruin and Jeffry several ways. The Scene changed to an Arbour dressed up with gaudy Play-games for Children. Enter Nonesofair alone. Non. 
Oh what a bewitching sight is here, a finer place can't be seen in a Summer's day.— Oh! my t'other goodness, it looks like an Orange stuck with Cloves, or a Pudding full of Plums, as who should say, come eat me, 'tis the very Virginia Pepper of Nature, where the Spicy taste, of all Shows is bound up in one fine sight; was this made for a Slaughter-house, no, 'tis more like an Opera, than a Bear-Garden; 'tis as fine as to Day and to Morrow, sure 'tis the Countryhouse of some City God; I was brought hither above ground too, as if I had flown in the Air:— Oh happy Nonsey.— But stay, if the Gods should play the Jacks with me, and show me Roast-meat, to thirst the Spit in my Guts.— No, no, let nothing trouble thee little Nonsy, theyare better bred; and scorn to be so base.— But if some fine God should come in a great Periwig, and red and green Ribbons, and swear he loved me like a Devil, and all that; there's your Anchovies, as Prince Philip says.  Bruin within sings. 

Sweet open the Door, and let me come in a,  
For to go a wooing, I now begin a.  
Non. I'll open, and open, and open again,  
Then I prithee sweet heart come in.

Oh if thou hast the Bowels of a Man a!  
Tune up thy Pipes, and sing again a.   Bruin within. Br. 
Oh fair Maid! be not afraid: For I am come a wooing,  
Thou art mine, and I am thine own sweet heart, and Bruin.  Non. 
Once more, Oh box my ears once more!  
If er'I heard the like, I'm the Son of a Whore.  Br. 
hay ding a ding, muck and Trash,  
Little Miss Nonesofair has a white Elbow,  
Oh take all my dross! but give me the Lass,  
For I want a new sheath to my Elbow.  Non. 
With a hey tralil, and ho tralil, my Elbow does itch,  
Which makes me cry still:  
Oh give me thy Dross! and thou shalt have the Lass,  
And a Dainty fine sheath for thy Bilbo.  Non. 
My heart's provoked by some Divine Bauble,  
And all my Blood is turned to a Caudle.  Bru. 
All Play-games that e'er be brought,  
For love or Money, I'll give my Honey,  
She shall have all the World in thought.  Non. 
— O Dear! O dainty!  Br. 
— O sweet and twenty!  Non. 
— When shall I my Charmer know,  Br. 
— Too morrow to more.  Non. 
— I'm afraid,  Br. 
— Fie fair Maid.  Non. 
— hay I'm sad, and I'm glad,  Bru. 
— Why all's paid egad.  Non. 
— By this great gift, thou are some Goddy,  Bru. 
— Thou shalt perceive, I am no Noddy.  Non. 
— Come in then my Dear hoddy doddy.  A Dance of Bears, among which is the white Bear of Norwich, and at the end of the Dance his shape flies off, and he appears dressed like a Cupid. Non. 
Oh what a glorious thing was here, in shape of ugly Bear.  
Oh what hands! what legs are there?  
But Oh the face! and oh the hair!  
And Oh that he were mine own dear!  Bru. 
The Bear I am,  Non. 
Pray Gad be Jon.  Bru. 
For all you are so crank and pretty,  
The Chair has sent me here to eat ye.  Non. 
Oh eat me quickly! and Oh eat me long!  
For and Oh! Iam not sickly, but Ah! I am not young.  
Ah! I'm very tender by my troth,  
Oh! I long to leap into thy mouth.  
In thy dear kidneys I'll inhabit,  
And make a Burrow like a Rabbit.  
Oh! no other love shall thence me ferret,  
Ah! I will not hurt thee, do not fear it.  
But like gentle Viper some-  
Times to pretty mouth I'll come,  
Hounds-teeths to pick; on eyes to gaze,  
And view thy comely maple face:  
Then turning round in wainscot jaws,  
And sliding down rough coral Throat.  
There in loves sweets I'll stewing lie,  
Till all dissolved in love, I die.  
My mind boils over with the thought,  Bru. 
My fair  Non. 
my Love  Br. 
my Dear  Non. 
my Dove.  Bru. 
My Honey  Non. 
my Bunny  Br. 
my Croney  Non. 
Let me approach ye  Bru. 
Let me make much o'ye—  Non. 
Oh let me kiss that pretty pretty dimple!  Bru. 
My love is willing, but she's wondrous simple.  Non. 
Ah how I long! Oh how I am stung!  
Ah I feel your headed steel!  
Oh how it smarts! Ah how it tickles!  
Ah the softness! and Oh the prickles!  
Ah how it cleaves my heart in pieces!  
Now, now, Oh now it increases.  
Now my Blood begins to be at peace,  
I'll warrant you, 'twas all up in my face.  
Oh the sweets of the pain! Ah the pain of the pleasure!  
Ah the griefs! Oh the joys without measure!  Bru. 
Is this cold Numph without heart like Iron?  
Her face doth tempt, but tricks do tire one,  
My stomachs full, but she's more eager,  
Then Soldier coming from long leaguer.  Non. 
Oh the Trance in which I've been!  
Ah that 'twould till Death remain!  
But Oh 'twill never, never come again!  Bru. 
Allonz my Dear I am thy Bear,  
Cheer up I say, I have it for ye,  
With nought, but love I will not marry.  Non. 
Ah Laud Sirs, did you ever see the like? what have you done to me? well you're a naughty Bear, I believe you're a Witch; do virtuous Princess use to be so— Poor thing I was never so before, and I would do nothing mis-becoming the Rank, Quality of King Andrews-daughter—  Bru. 
Oh well dissembled Ignorance!  Non. 
Your hand bewitched me, but your eyes; Oh those Enchanting eyes! I never saw such eyes, nor felt such eyes; nor heard such eyes, nor understood such eyes, Oh those delicate! dear, long round, twinkling, pinking, glazing, leering, sneering Sheep's eyes of thine.  
O look away, they pierce me so,  
I know not wher'I feel or no.  
Why d'ye gape so amorous, zee,  
Would you have any thing of me.  Bru. 
Oh yes, I am soused too in love's pickle,  
Salt tears down cheeks like Millstones trickle;  
My heart in Stomach their would rest,  
As brooding Rook does on soft nest;  
And while for food it there sits calling,  
With bit of pity, thou must stop his yawling:  
Oh give me thy pretty thing.  
And when that pretty thing thou givest to me,  
I'll burn its Tail, that it may fly from me;  Non. 
Oh take it then! Oh catch it quickly,  
Staying with me 'tis grown so sickly,  
It melts too fast, unless your help withstands,  
'Twill die away, and lie upon my hands;  
Oh it flutters, Ah it pants, yet, yet I have't,  
Oh Sir dispatch, dispatch, if you would save't,  
Sir, Sir, Sir, now, now, Oh now it tingles at my finger's ends,  
'Tis gone, 'tis gone, run, fetch it back again:  
Or I shall die unless thou giv'st me thine.  Exeunt running. Scene changed. Enter the Princes, Nicklas and Philip. Pil.

Why wuss mon she's but one o' my Aunts:  
There vore lets squot, and leave theez murrain Jaunts;  Nick. 
All ground's to hot for me to tarry on,  
Till I have got my Princely Carrion;  
Though Fortune is froppish still we hope well,  Phil.

May be she's zunning on zome odrous mixion,  
Choud teaz her ifz could vind the Vixon;  Nick. 
Had she none but we to put her tricks on.  Phil. 
A vowdry tit come Nick lets slip hence,  
When luch zares pride will pay her odd vip'ence;  
Yet white Bears a Beast, if he hurt imp Royal,  
Though Bear have Feast, let wishing Chair pay all:  
Let's hie us to'n straight, and bombast the bony Witch,  
I doubt thick Chair had vurst lick ove her honey Critch,  Nick. 
Mums the word lest he by flight prevent us,  
Let's gallop straight on pair of nimble Tentoes.  Exeunt. The Scene changed to the Arbour. Enter Nonesofair. Non. 
Laud what have I done, I reek like a new shot gun,  
Heigh hoe, a kind of shameless shame I feel;  
But I feel something else that joys me still,  
And does that other feeling quite out-feel:  
I can't repent now for my blood,  
Sure things so sweet must need be good,  
Besides to love is to obey a God,  
The things so Sacred, and so kind to boot:  
That I will roar it out— again I'll do't.  
Here comes the little loving Rogue,  
Now do I blush like a blue Dog;  
What shall I do, I am rapt, Oh! I shall have my fit again, for  
something catches me fast by the inclination.—  
Oh, you Devil, you Ah!  Sing this. 
The more I look, the more I like, beauty breeds my heart's delight.  Bru. 
Poor virtuous loving Princess,  
At first she seemed to loath loves pleasant bub,  
And now she's all for empting of the Tub.  Non. 
Though I'm so fond of one ne'er seen before,  
I hope you do not think I am a Whore;  
Yet lest that I should prove with Child,  
And you should run away therefore,  
I pray Sir, be so meek and mild,  
To tell me like a trusty Trojan,  
Both what's your Name, and where's your Lodging.  Bru. 
I am a great Prince, my Estate lies in the new Utopia. I am chief commander of all the Padders, Jugglers, Priggers, Ditchers, Bulkers, and Pickpockets, to me all those merry Greeks pay Tribute, which shall come into thy Fob, all the beauteous Doxies, dels and Drabs, shall obey the back, and admire thy magnificence.  
Thou shalt be both my pretty Romp in Luxury and Pomp, thy eyes shall watch; while thy ears are ravished, and all thy other Senses shall dance Bobbing-Ioan for joy, I'll keep thee in thy Hair, and thy Slippers; thou shalt eat like a Chameleon, and drink like a Flittermouse; thy House shall be made of one entire Sugar-Plum, out of which thou shalt every day eat thy passage like a lovely Viper out of his Dam's Belly, thy Closet shall be furnished with Sunbeams, thy clothes shall be all Marmalade powdered with Caraways for spangles, thy Bed shall be made of a great Blue-Fig, and thy Curtains of Diet-bread Paper, where thou shalt lie like the Lady in the Lobster till I come to dress thee with the Vinegar of love, and the Nutmeg of Luxury, thy Coach shall be of some fine new Trangam— which we'll study for—  Non. 
Oh I am rapt again!  Bru. 
Thou shalt have a Dog and a Parrot, and when theyare sick, thou shalt have a Physician and a Surgeon for them.  Non. 
Oh! I am rap't again— but what if they should die?  Bru. 
Then thou shalt mourn o'er thy dear Cur, like a grave Person of quality; put thy woman in black, and convey it with a Train of Hakneys to the Sepulchre of his stinking Ancestor in Pomp and Luxury.— But my dear Bunting I tell thee one thing.  
Ask not my mighty name, for that once known;  
Like fairy pence thy Trump'ry will be gone:  
If Newgate keeper once should smoke us,  
Thy Bear must vanish with a hocus.  Non. 
But Love, Honey, won't you let my Sisters visit me? truly they are not adopted Sisters, but of my true Royal Flesh and Blood; and I would fain show my Pride and Luxury. For Bravery without being seen, is like john come kiss me without dancing, or a Bell without a Clapper, for it makes no noise.—  Bru. 
My jeffery shall for them hie,  
And fetch them hither by and by.  Enter Jeffery. G. Pri. 
Hoe, jefferey, Hoe, make haste, and go  
Hunt for great Sisters high and low.  
Thou'lt find the stately Trape's tired with Travel,  
Out of surbated trotters picking gravel,  
Or at some Farmer's door a resting haunches,  
And singing smutty Ballads for Bread and Cheese.  jeff. 
The Quean looks shy on't, will she bob? will she come?  Bru. 
The Nymph is pliant, done is job, word is mum.  jeff. 
Blouzes I fly to call as fast as hooves can fall,  
I'll bring them hither with their Fardels,  
Or leave them there, it will go hard else.  Exit jeffery. Bru. 
I hope your Sisters are no setters,  
And come to tempt you with Love-letters:  
If you let any other— at my Charges,  
My fresh tapped love will turn as sour as Verjuice.  
But let that pass—  
Now prick up ears, let eyes stare hard,  
Let all thy Senses stand on Guard.  
That I may catch them unprepared.  
Till jeffry do thy lineage bring,  
We'll go, and hunt the pretty thing.  Exeunt:  

ACT III.  
SCENE III.  Enter Wishing-Chair and Jeffry. Wish. 
And how, and how, do things and things fit? does she melt like Snow in his arms? and make the Rogue think, there's Fire in his bosom— does the little Vermin twine about him like a tame Snake? and make her tongue seem forked with swift motion.  jeffry. 
Why all these questions Friend, and asked with such envious curiosity, because you made the first discovery, you thought, the Natives would truck with no other.— You're out; you only touched upon the Coast, he has failed up the River; discovered the Inland,— planted a Colony; and settled the Trade of Furs.—  Wish. 
Oh Rogue! 'tis a dainty spot of Ground, Woods, Rivers, Mountains, over which is placed a Sky always serene and clear.  
Well the Dog has his day.  jeffry. 
— Ay and He'll not lose a minuit of it.  Wish. 
I shall ne'er forget, the pretty skittish thing did so snach away my kisses, and throw them back again with such a furious kind Scorn.— Pray let me go now, won't you? and then embraced me so fiercely, as if she had wished, the Devil take me if I did.— Ah! she pressed, like fresh Curds newly put into the Cheese-frame.— Oh jeffry! jeffry!  jeffry. 
Oh Friend! Friend! you have had your time, and must now live upon your Alforges; like a great Monkey chew the Cud, for you must be a clean Beast in spite of your teeth, I overheard the Puissant Princess make dangerous resolves against your dear life. Prince Philip will be at your Anchovies, i'faith, Bruin thinks fit that you repair to our Palace the new Music-house, you know where, for your Worships safely,— and to encourage you, hark ye— I am sent for two fresh Frolics, the two elder Sisters.  Wish. 
Art thou so?— enough— I am for the straits.  Enter Gammer Readstreak. jeffry. 
Hold, hold, here's a Packing-penny, she comes to wish for a Famine, that Corn may sell dear.  Wish. 
Or a foul disease on those that Robbed her Hen-roost, Pox upon her brown Bread phisnomy,— lets go.  jeffry. 
Not a foot Sir till this old Jade's curried; y' are bound by Oath to refuse none.—  Wish. 
Prithee jeffry be favourable, dispense.  jeffry. 
On, on, Sir will you perform, or shall I complain; remember.

But now like and old cracked Groat, whose stamp's worn out; none will take me, they say I am not current.— But I'll fit 'em, for I'll wish myself a Queen, and this House full of Money in my Pocket.  Wish. 
And the Devil in thy Chattering Chops.  Red. 
Ay, your worships: and a new Husband every time I change my Apron.—  Wish. 
And a new Disease every time thou tun'st thy Clack.  Enter Jeffry and Costard observing them. jeffry.

Well I am mollified, thou shalt see the Show; the Woman is decent, cleanly, and sound I'll Warrant; hang't, we must not always expect Beauteous Women; stay here a little, thou pretty Rogue; I begin to have a mind to her;— ha, old True penny.  Exit Wish. Red. 
Now for me, I'll be a Queen or a Lady at least; and King Andrew's Three Daughters shall be my Maids, and I'll have a high Seat in the Church, and the Chaplain shall pray for his virtuous Patrons.— Then I'll have the headache, and be very sick, that I may receive Visits in my Bed, Oh! there's no way like it to draw on Suitors; they know a poor weak Woman that lies there on purpose, has no power to deny.— One that I know, dressed herself in six several dresses to catch her Sweetheart, but nothing pleased her; I'll warrant you till she fucust her face, blanched her hands, put on a rich suit of Night Linen, and went to Bed; where she lay like a Queen Apple upon a Tod of Wool, and the Patches looked for all the World like Birds pecks, which show the Fruit is Rotten-ripe; and what d'ye think the Whore-Son snuffed up his Nose, and cried he did not love brown crust in Milk; a proud Jack, I'll make a Law, that every man shall be hanged that refuseth a Woman; ay and 'tis high time, for we have been even so kind to 'em, that they use us as they do Rackets at Tennis, when they have exercised their Bodies; and thumped their Balls,— dress, and away; but my Lady Redstreak, won't be served so i'faith.— After Dinner the Steward shall set things right with me in my Closet, and the Gentleman of the Horse, or some spruce fellow shall Fiddle me a sleep. Oh Redstreak, didst thou ever think to come to this. But if this should be a lie, now I'm bravely served.—  The wishing Chair is discovered. 
Oh there's the Chair, I cannot hold till the Gentleman comes.— Oh a Queen, a Queen and 80 Husbands, and this House full of Money, O lo, O lo, whither am I going?  The Chair sinks with her,— and Costard enters ridiculously Armed. Cost. 
Whaur, whaur, whaur.— Ha gwon, sharked away, Oh mischief, Oh Costard, Oh Cuckold— budding, budding. I feel 'em budding.— Oh Beast, I'll kill thee with my horns; a Cuckold in my old days, I'll draw thy Colt's Tooth with a vengeance.  Exit Gostard, and Enter wishing Chair, and Redstreak. Red. 
A thousand thanks to your worship, I have not seen so fine a Show this seven years.—  Wish. 
A tough carrion, she draws like a Whirl-pool, and would kill a Man as easily as a Cat sucks the breath of a Child: Go thy ways old Mumpsimus, the mark's in thy mouth still.  Enter Castard. Cost. 
Now, Courage, for the Blood of the Costards, I'll mow them off both in the middle, so swiftly that they shall stand still, and never think theyare dead.  Wish. 
No, no more at this time, I thank your Queen-ship.  Cost. 
Ah umh! she clings like a rotten Egg to a Pillory; yes pray do, and I'll watch the grins like the head of a dead Horse, Scoundrel, snarle-chops, Beezom-Beard, come out, come out, if thou darest.— O Laud!  Red.

Oh Sir! Sir! Sir!  Red. 
Oh good Sir! Wishing-Chair sit down, for I know he'll come again, and if I don't put this out of his head, he won't leave a whole bone in my skin.—  The Chair claps down, Redstreak sits in it; and Costard returns. Red. 
And I wish, and I wish, that my dear Husband Costard.  Cost. 
How! wishing in the Chair for me? odz precious, if this been't a good Woman, the Devil's a Hog.—  Red. 
I wish, that my good Husband Costard were married to King Andrews eldest Daughter, though I were dead and rotten, I should rejoice for't a thousand year hence, if I could remember't.  Cost. 
Poor Redstreak, my own true Spouse,— 'tbe better I were hanged, then thee wert dead: what a villainous Beast was I to think ill of her? no, thee art my Princess, and I had rather lose the best Horse in my Team, then lose my Wife.—  Red.

Don't you see a great noise somewhere? just like an Echo coming from a Plain, where are no Woods, Hills, or Valleys to make it.  2. 
Ay, ay, 'tis, because the Princes have killed the Bear, and every mother's Child is gone out to meet them.  1. 
The Princess are fine Blades, i'faith'specially Prince Philip for Quoyts, or Cudgels, turn him lose.— Well now, Maids may live and marry, when they can get Husbands.  2. 
Ay, and we may hope to hear of a Maid in the ten's again, before they were afraid of being given to the Bear, that Maidenheads were as cheap as stinking Fish.  1. 
I have heard much of these Maidenheads, prithee what are they like?  2. 
Like.— why they are so like nothing, that there is nothing like them.—  1. 
If the Bear was killed but half an hour ago, as it seems by the story, how could the triumphal Arch be built, and all this Pomp and Luxury be prepared to entertain the Prince.—  2. 
The way was chalked out by some Poet; or perhaps it was done by Nature, and the Gods.  1. 
Nature and the Gods, they had other Fish to fry, they have been together by the ears all this day about Princess Nonesofair; But hark, the Echo draws near from the Plain: Let's take our places, lest we lose the Show.  Exeunt. Enter the Princess Riding in Triumph on Hobby-horses, the Womans-head carried on a Spear, attended with many on Horseback; and a Foot with Banners, and Trails, Drums, and Trumpets, etc.— After they have passed round the Stage, and taken their places; One sings a Ballad, and all throng about him. 

Song.  
Prick up your ears, for, and that you may hear,  
A Battle so dreadful, 'tween Princess and Bear,  
Oh Christian Pee-pel!  
This Beast was so hungry, and also right fell,  
he eat youth, and baggage,  
like Salt, Beef, and Cabbage,  
'twas doleful to look on, and rueful to tell.   

Chorus.  

But now the Bear's dead,  
And here is his head,  
By which you may see, all is sooth that I said,  
Therefore rejoice, sing, and dance all, and some  
With a lum, trum, tum, trum, tum, etc.   

Dark was the Air, as if Welkin were sick,  
When bloody minded Rose, Philip, and Nick,  
Quoth Nicolas, I think  
The Fight will be doubtful, than first let us drink.  
Prince Philip by and by,  
Did fill out the Brandy.  
And Courage did swell up, as Bottle did shrink.    

Chorus.  
But now the Bear's dead. etc.  
Brandishing Blades with Bottle and Bag,  
These Princes went boldly to find out the Draggon-Bear I do mean.  
And catched him devouring of two pretty men,  
They stole both behind him,  
And e'er he could mind them,  
They cut him, and slashed him again and again.   A Dance performed by two men, and a Bear showing the manner of the Princes killing the Bear. 

Song.  
You Champions great, that killed the Beast,  
shall drink, and eat still of the best,  
For him you slew with Swords sharp dint,  
Cared not one Fig for jack o'lent.  
But stared, as if he would cry forth,  
When Boy with Clapper cried shooh shoh.   

Chorus.  
Among Knights errand, you shall not  
Give place to any, but Quixot.   1. 
While we their Praises are hum drumming,  
See where Mother Wossat's coming.  Mother Woossat flies over the Stage, and calls justice Crab, who comes out in his Chariot. Woossat knocks. 
Is Justice Crab within?  Crab. 
What wouldst thou mortal?  Song. Woss. 
justice! Oh gentle justice Crab!  Crab. 
Why makes my Crone this doleful moan?  
Who dares affront my beauteous drab?  Wooss. 
My sister Redstreaks dead,  Crab. 
Is sister Redstreak dead?  Wooss. 
— Ay! ay!  Crab. 
What mortal did the direful deed?  Wooss. 
Proud Springal Princess made her bleed.  
And said  
They cut off Bruin's head,  
Oh! If thou yet canst prize?  
The Amber dropping from my eyes.  
If all the Pensions I have paid?  
And jobs that thou hast Gratis had,  
Have any dent in Noddle made:  
Let Nonesofair thy Fingers feel,  
And all that did my Redstreak kill.  Crab. 
— From thy dear Chops,  
Such Kindness drops.  
Still so much influence from thee rains,  
Thou shalt command my heart and brains,  
I'll pay those saucy Princes for their pains,  
I'll give them a Posset,  
Dare make their tricks thus at,  
My poor Mother Woossat.  
Little Constable,  
Come with Painted bauble,  
And send off the Rabble.  
Sumptuous their Throne is, but I'll make a Carr on't,  
Crabs word alone is more powerful than Warrant.  

Chorus.  
Let the striplings and losses be lustily curried,  
Ay, and let their good Graces,  
To limbo, to limbo, to limbo, be hurried.   Woossat and Crab fly out, a little Spirit rises, and beats off the Princes and Attendants. Exeunt all.  

Scene II.  Enter Nicklas and Philip. Nick. 
What bloody Rogues were these?  
And we not run each Mother's Son  
Had gone to Little ease.  Phil. 
A curse on thick Whoreson with the Painted Rod,  
Sure 'twas some Devil, or some God.  Nick. 
Prince Philip, there was never Knight errand famous without being enchanted; nor Opera notorious without Gods, and Devils: hast thou observed the numerous Caves and Walks, in your dry White Cheese.—  Phil. 
Ay your tickle crack Cheese.  Nick. 
In one of those Cheeses was a Knight of Wales Enchanted Seven years; and through those dangerous ways he Travelled, and destroyed all the Heathen Knights, that like little Vermin devoured the fat of it.—  Phil. 
Ah! mischief on the Heathen Knights, and the Welsh Knight too, they tickled the Cheese so between 'em, that no goodness has been in't ever since.—  
Yet ' spite of Hell we'll search from Ventures,  
Till Nymph distressed, is freed from Tenters.  Enter Woudhamore and Sweetlips. Would. 
Now luck! Husbands, or something to eat, we beseech thee.  Sweet. 
If they won't have us, let's ravish them.— Save your Princes, still whining after your Pin-box, are there no more Maids but Maukin?  
We might e'er this have got fire out of flints,  
Some brinded Wolf, Phils Father was, I wot,  
On some she Rock, relentess thee he got.  Would. 
My Nickies dam was some rough Bear,  
And Tiger fierce was sure his sire,  
Oh pity thy despairing Trull.  Sweet. 
O let me buss my Phils fair Gull.  Would. 
Cloud not those Lanterns clipped eyes,  
If Nickie frowns poor Woudha. dies;

Oh how it joyed me when it smiled.  Nick. 
Indeed sweet Ladies, you but lose your labour.  Phil. 
You may as soon catch a Hare with a Tabar.  Would. 
Is it so? Lippy we are out.— Gad, we must be more brisk; these Fellows are for the downright way.—  Sweet. 
Courage then, lafoy, lafoy, lafoy, come thou little pouting  
Villain, I will order thee for thy dissembled cruelty.—  Phil. 
Bless us, what's the matter with the Woman; let me alone.  Sweet. 
Damn your pettish frowns. come here's a Guinny.—  Would. 
Since Nonsies devoured by the Bear, 'tis no inconstancy to choose again.—  Nick. 
That whim won't pass Madam! we searched every cranny of the Beast, and found no sign of her.  Sweet. 
If she lives, you have been constant to her too long, for by the new modish Articles of faithful Love, 'tis no sin, nor inconstancy, to quit one Mrs. or Gallant, for another; as often as you will, so you have but one at once. Come, come, a George will gain the Lad, as well as the Lady— here take Money.  Nick. 
You're an insolent audacious hectoring Pugg, and  
I'll have you kicked if you do not leave us presently.—  Sweet. 
Come poor Green-sickness Rascals, they do not know what's good for themselves, let's away with them.  Phill.

Ay, and so we take our leave.  Exeunt Princes. 
Never were Poor Princesses so distressed for Husbands.  Sweet. 
Princess. No, there's no Princely Virtue in their Blood.  Would. 
Dam'em a Prince would no more refuse a handsome  
Woman, than a Lion would hurt a Prince.  Sweet. 
Frozen Joy, Slaves let them be hanged.  Would. 
Hanged 'gad; and so they shall for killing mother Redstreak, for all they made the silly People believe, 'twas the Bear.  Sweet. 
Let's give notice to the Officers, and have them seized; when they are in durance, their tough stomachs will soon melt.  Would. 
We'll do't,— but stay, here's fresh game, he's right  
I'll warrant I know by Enter jeffery his leering eye.—  Sweet. 
Then he's mine, for I saw him first.  Would. 
Another word like that condemns thee.  Sweet. 
If you're so Tyrannical, I'll stroll alone.  Would. 
Stay, the stripling has something to deliver.  jeffry. 
Queen Nonesofair, (Ladies most splendiferous)  
Entreats you both would come, and dine at her house.  
And after that great hearts to solace,

Oh Fortune! luck our hopes are melted,  Sweet. 
Were ever Princesses so jilted:  
Nonesofair, a Queen.—  Would. 
Let's send to Jailor, er'bad news spread further,  
That surly Princess may be seized for murder.  
Nonesofair a Queen.—  jeffry. 
— True I'll assure ye.  Would. 
Come Let's behold her Pomp, and eke Luxury,  
And let Heroic love be turned to Fury.  
To Jailor we'll send Porter as we go by,  
A Queen! saith we'll tickle her Toby.  Exeunt The Scene changed to None-so-fairs house. Enter Nonesofair, Sweetlips, and Woudhamore, Would. 
Say no more, the Treat was splendid.  Sweet. 
But where's your kind good man I wonder?  
Of all your Pomp let's see the Founder.  Non. 
Stay you here a little tinie,  
And I'll go call my loving Ninny:  
Love, Honey, Chuck, Dutch, so hoe, il o ho, ho, ho.  Would. 
Our Sister Queen has an excellent voice to call  
Harvest-men to Dinner.—  
Oh Cross, untoward Fate! Ay that thou art!  
Must she all pleasure have, and we all smart?  Sweet. 
Like Image on housetop thouhast put her,  
And we must crawl like Ducks in gutter.  Would. 
And see her Finery, Oh Rot her!  
Such earthen Dishes, such scull Bason,  
Table so scrubbed, you may see face on,  
Such shining Platters, Shelves with lace on.  
Such Pots so scoured with Sand and Whiteing,  
Monarch had n'r such Kitchen to delight in.  Sweet. 
Her Man, her Maid, her Dog, her Cat too,  
At Dinner dresser thumped like Tattoo:  
Strong-bub in Closet, and all that too.  Would. 
We thought she'ad given Crow a pudding,  
And Luxury is just a budding;  
And we to see't must come a gooding.  Sweet. 
I cannot live to see this thing long,  
A Curse on Mother Woossat's flim flame,  
Are these the Fruits of flattering sing song.  Would. 
Well, luck may turn, what's more fickle than chance?  
Come let's Club our Skulls, and plot Vengeance,  
Her strolling jilting tricks, we'ltell'o  
And make her trusty Roger yellow.  Enter Bruin, and Nonesofair. 
He comes i'faith a witty fellow.  Sweet. 
Oh happy Mauks! if I could reach the rope of her heart, I would starngle her with't.  Would.

Hold when I have supped with Margaret Trantum,  
With goodly thing you may play Rantum;  
Till than ifacks you're like to wantum.  Bru. 
Lady's first you're very welcome; and secondly, I hope to give you all content.——  
For Sister's sake my beauteous Gipsy,  
On whom Prince Bruin casteth Sheep's eye,  
You shall bouse gratis till you're tipsy;  
On stately shank rest tired ham trulls,  
And you shall see my tricks and gambols.  
Pisco flisco whisco fibribisco fosco posco, sebosco larasco velasco, trumdle fundle, bundle hundle, tantarra dundle— surgito surgitote.—  The Scene drawn, and many Statues disocvered in several postures. Would, 
Olippy what stone works here?  Bru. 
He that looks so like a despairing lover, is Peter Whiffle eldest Son of the Countess of Puddle dock, he espoused the Puissant Landabridas' Queen of Sluts, and hanged himself because she would not wear fine clothes, and have a Gallant.  Would. 
Alas poor Peter, I would not have been so unkind as Queen Lamberdas.  Bru. 
Those two are Polynicky, Nicampoops, two valorous Princes of Fairy-land; they dived through Apivel to Hell, for the love of Piss-kitchin Daughter of King Easiepate, passed through Fire and Water, without spoiling their clothes or Perriwiggs; and are now good sufficient Housekeepers in Elysium.—  
That's Rabelais, the grave French Philosopher, that grew mad with Writing the second part Tom Thum in Heroic metre.  Would. 
Well, he did his endeavour, though he missed his Province.  Sweet. 
Oh Woudha. Woudha. if this Image were in a warm Bed, I'll be hanged if I did not fetch life in him, and make him wag.  Bru. 
When a house is on fire, the Lame, Sickly, and Lazy, frisk as if they had a swarm of Hornets about them.—  
Green Sickness Girl can lift huge trunk,  
But Blade with Love's flame scorched and shrunk;  
Will do much more for charming Punk.  
These stones compelled by Amorous Bruin,  
Shall Sing and Caper to some Tuin.  
Mark how dull Statue kicks and Winces.  
And all for love of Nonesy Princess.  Bruin Sings like a Walloon, and Plays on a Cymbal and all the Images move.— Bru. 
Now you shall hear the Images sing in praise of the most Heroic and Magnificient Sciences of Wenching, and Drinking.— A Ditty fit for Spheres, and Quires of Cupid, when Gods are deaf, and Princes grow stupid.  
My dear Nonesy set them in the way.—  

SONG.  
Let Taffy go seek for his bliss in a Leek,  
And Teag in hot Isquebagh flobber.  
Jockey be doing with Oatcakes and Sowing,  
And sup up their brave Bonny clabber.   

Chorus.  
But let Misses and Gallants, make use of their Talents,  
To be Wise, is to love and be drunk;  
For drink, and that same will get you a name,  
When your healths and Estates are all sunk.   

Let sullen old Men keep their besom Beards clean,  
Let Slaves strive for Honour and Riches,  
Let Widgeons debate our Religion and State,  
And Matrons be sober as Witches.   

Cho.  
But let Misses, etc.  
Let's drink and be clapped till our Shinbone sore scraped,  
And gems deck our faces all over,  
Till Palsies and Cramps, make our eyes shine like Lamps,

No, no, the Devil he is ned so good a Scholar, 'Tis some pitiful juggling Jack-pudding, some strolling Tumbler.  Would. 
When he grows a little weary of you, he'll strip you, and leave you; nay, say you're obliged to him, for teaching you a modish Trade, by which you may come to keep your Coach, if you have any Fortune.—  None. 
I won't despair, since the Proverb's on my side, Fools have Fortune, and Cracks have luck,— I can pretend to both by virtue of my Education.—  Would. 
If his Highness were true and trusty, why should he hide his Title?  None. 
Oh say no more, I tremble all over!  Enter jeffry jeffry. 
Madam great Sisters must be packing,  
My Master finds some Trenchers lacking.  Nonsy. 
How, Royal Sisters grown light fingered?  
Of Princesses was e'er so foul a thing heard;  
Richer Goods in house could not be chosen,  
Odznigs they cost two groats a dozen.  Would. 
How steal your Trenchers? Traps, marry come up here,  
I find we should pay sauce, if we should sup here.  Sweet. 
'Tis not gently done Faith Sister Nonsy:  Would.

And render back my Goods, and Chattel.  Word.

Put tricks on Daughters of King Andrew.

Great Master comes with arms a kimboe,  Bru. 
Take filching Madams hence to Limbo  
Hence, or thyself shalt straight for them go.  Wouda. 
Must we that have sent Princess thither, go ourselves,

Away with them,  Sweet. 
As by's own Bull was killed Phalaris,  
W''re sent to Prison by Will. Harris.  Exeunt Jeffry, Sweetlips, and Woudha. Bru. 
This was an Intrigue of love and state, poor Ladies, they stole no Trenchers, but I heard Baggages contrive.  
To undermine Prerogative,  
And to seduce if they were able,  
My Importance comfortable,  
Before I'm weary of Bauble.  Nonsy. 
To Prison sent for filching Trencher-Plate,  
When we had none in house,  
Oh too too late;  
I do begin to smell a Rat.  
Ah woe is me! poor little mouse.  Bru. 
Why frowns? my beauteous dear,  
Thy Foreheads muffled in black pouts,  
Like warlike Steed in Funeral clouts.  
That did eftsoons both prance and neigh,  
And briskly fell to Oats and hay,  
As if he promised a fair day.  
But straight in black dogged masters Course,  
My dear looks sad as morning Horse.  Nonsy. 
Poh you prate, and prate, but you don't love me.  Bru. 
Love thee ungrateful Imp! Ah curse on thy jealous  
Noddle, another word I'll squeeze thee like a Custard,  
Devour thee without Salt or Mustard.  
Ha, my Princess sniv'ling, who has disbused thee, Pydy tell me, if I have aught can give thee ease; I swear, 'tis thine now by this Cheese, the Oath of Gods.  Non. 
Enough, and if 'tis Truth, tell me thy name, Oh charming youth!  Bru. 
Heavens! Powers! Oh hold!  Non. 
Nay, nay, you have sworn.

Why should you keep your Secret? and yet take mine?  Bru. 
Prithee Nonsy ask any thing else?  Non. 
No, nothing.  Bru. 
The Devil take me if—  Nonsy. 
Is this your love? miserable unhappy Princess, perjured dissembling men! before you had me, you swore any thing.— You use poor Women, as Children do Bubbles; you spare for no water of Sighs, nor black Soap of Oaths, till you have blown us up with the Reed of your love, and then you cast us off to break in the wide World.— Ah! that ever I poor virtuous Lady should live to see this day! Oh! ho, ho.  Bru. 
Well if like a wall-eyed Hare, you won't see right before you, but run into the noose, take your ill fortune.—  Non. 
Ay let me have it?  Bru. 
Shall I speak?  Non. 
Ay, ay, I say?  Bru. 
Then I shall you say?  Non. 
Odslifelykins, ay I say?  Bru.

I am Deval.  Non. 
Bless us all—  Bru. 
That French Prince of the Padders, that was thought to be hanged, I have lived ever since in this disguise, because I would not quite break the kind ladies' hearts, to see me hanged twice.  
But now must fly for thy folly lest I am caught,  
And pawn my pretty Nonesy for the shot.  Exit Bruin, claps on the Bear's skin, and flies over the Stage— The Scene changed to a Tavern.— Enter two Drawers. 1.

Knight's Honour and Fortune, 'gad she's mad.  2. 
Didst find any Honour about her?  1. 
No, no Honour.— If women have any such thing, they hide it so cunningly that none can find it.— Harry, thou knowest we melted down a Silver Tankard to sodder up Cisses cracked Honour; let's swear she stoll it, and clap a strong House upon her back to keep her warm.  2. 
But first let's strip her; come strip, strip.—  1.

Oh the lovely Prince?  1. 
How, the Prince? 'gad she speaks Treason, lock her up and call the Constable— away.—  Exeunt Drawers. Non. 
Oh my dear Prince, why wouldst thou fly hence, and let thy loving Romp be stripped from all her Pomp.  
Sure in my mind 'twas much unkind,  
To shark away and leave your love behind:  
What ever now is thy design,  
I'm sure when Nonsie's dead, he'll whine,  
Crossed love and grief to make an end 'o,  
I'll break my neck out at a Window.  King Andrews Ghost rises Crowned, and Redstreak with her head in her hand— attended with two Spirits. 

Song.  
Oh stay thy foul and bad intent,  
Dame chance doth smile and frown,  
When heels more high than head are sent,  
That's upward that was down,  
And Nonesofair shall have her Bear,   K. And. 
— Shall have her Bear,  Redstr. 
— Shall have her Bear.  

Chorus.  
And Nonesofair shall have her Bear,  
And none shall have the sweet Beast but her.  
Woossat will come for, and to chide,  
From mischief fly a main,  
For all must obey that are tied,  
Till they are freed again,

And Nonesofair, etc.   The Song ended, they Vanish. Non. 
Why should I fly dear Dad, and eke  
Ghost of Redstreak.

Dares Nonesofair with eyes of Cat?  
Look on Queen hag the dread Woossat,  
So Impudent not make a Curtsy,  
Bend stubborn hams, or'gad I'll force ye.  Non. 
What have I done? dread Witch should seeking Ruin.  Wooss. 
Debauched my Son, my first begotten Bruin,  
Taught envious men to burn my Thatch,  
Nail Horse-shoe under hatch.  
Nay strove by your enchanting eye,  
To be a greater Witch then I.  Nonsy. 
If Beauty be fault in me, 'tis Heavn's decree,  
I do not paint truly, as you may see;  
He took my pretty thing for his Rantidla,  
I did not ask him first indeed la.  Wooss. 
Dares Minx to prate to me so proudly?  
Thinking to choke my hate with loudy:  
No, thou shalt never get whole hence,  
But to Prison; Volens, Nolens,  
To die for Treason and Insolence.  Woossat flies away. Enter Drawers, and Whistles. 1. Draw.

Oh luck of Princess miserable!

A pox o' your zeeking Ventures, c'm as dumpish a new shrouded Tree.— What course must we take now?  Nick. 
Course, why I think 'tis better to be freed, and ●arry the Princesses than be hanged.—  Phil. 
Why? I think zoo too, but than who must be hanged for killing Mother Redstreak?— Justice must be satisfied.  Giok. 
Justice may be better satisfied with Marriage then hanging— for 'tis now the greater punishment.  Phil. 
Have you any ' Tority for what you zay?  Nick. 
‛ Tority, no but I have reason— is not it better to go to Heaven in a string, then be a Galley Slave, and be chained to one seat all one's life?—  Phil. 
Then do thee go to Heaven in a string, and let me be Married.  Nick. 
Thank you for that, 'faith what a well meaning Fool is this?— I tell thee 'twas not Redstreak, but the Bear we killed.  Phil. 
The Bear— Odzboars 'twas as errand a Woman as my mother, and all the neighbours know she was right.—  Nick. 
Then she was Enchanted?  Phil. 
Enchanted! Ah, if this should be a lie, we are bravely served.——  Nick. 
Why may not a Beast be turned to a Woman; we see Women every day turned to Beasts.  Would. 
You're rightly served, for a couple of Dancer Nosed Princes as you are; if y' had Married us, you, might both have been King Andrews by this time.—  Non. 
Why has our poor sneaking Daddy kicked up his heels? Ah dismal merry Tragedy, I thought something would follow when I saw his Ghost, and heard the Circkets sing so dolefully.  Would. 
Your tricks broke his heart, for when he heard we were sent to Prison for stealing Trenchers; he signed, eat a great piece of Bread and Butter; and departed as quietly as any sucking Pig.  The Scene drawn, discovers the Court of Rogues with attendants. Phil. 
Stint, stint, the Cwourtz zet, what must I zay Prince Nick?  Nick. 
Why say she killed herself volens nolens, in her own defence.  Phil. 
Bolens nolens,— a pox on your bolens nolens.—  Tag. 
Bulbarrow, set the Prisoners to the Bar.— Read their Indictment.  Braz. 
No, no, let's overrule that formality, and proceed to Sentence,  Tag. 
First, for fashion's sake, though we have most prudently determined to hang them, whatever they can say— ask them the usual question.—  Shrubshall 
— Guilty or not guilty, why don't you answer?  Tag. 
Give 'em time, I know my face is terrible; for a Judge's leering smile is as certain a sign of death, as walking in Sir john Broads Exchange all Dinner time, is a sign of an empty pocket; Come Gentlemen Rogues, you that look as sour as small Beer after Thunder; You with the Ember face.  Braz. 
You stand as if you were doing penance, for stealing a Pudding out of your neighbour's Wives-Kettle.  Tag. 
Or making Composition for killing your Father, or eating Eggs on a Fasting day, which are equal Crimes among the Learned,— answer, in what shape did thy Friend the Devil appear, when he advised thee to act this horrid bloody inhumanity.  Braz. 
Inhuman, untoward, unhandsome, Brother, enforce, the charge tattered ho: unhandsome, unwholesome.— I say unwholesome, for I have believed 'twill cost thee thy life; Villainous unlucky Tagrag.  Tag. 
Unlucky, pitiful, most pitiful crime of— of What's the Crime Brothers?—  Braz. 
By my Commission I know not, but that's all one, our business is to Judge, and hang the offenders; let the Crimes alone, if we destroy them, our Trade will be at an end.—  Tag. 
Come, confess, confess your Crime, and you shall have the favour to ride to the Gallows in a Coach.  Nick. 
— Sir.—  Bull. 
— Sir! You must say my Lord.  Tag. 
Ha, who's that whispering?— Bullbarrow— Sirrah! how dar'st thou be of Counsel against the King? thou bloated Jewish villain, that dost lie and batten in the Blood of poor Prisoners, like a Hog in his own mire?— Dar'st thou be of Counsel against the King?  Braz. 
Against the King, a Jailor would betray the Gods, if Prisoners had Money to bribe him to't, tie him up.—  Bullb. 
Ah! I beseech your good Lordships, I only Instructed him to give you your just Titles, because I know several have been hanged for omitting them.— Pray your Honours.  Tag. 
Sirrah, no more of this,— Hatchet-face, speak you; guilty, or not guilty?—  Phil. 
She killed herself, volens nolens in her own defence, ask Prince Nick else?—  Tag. 
Ask Prince Nick.—  Phil. 
— Ay— All King Andrew's Household can bear me Concord, I was bred up in the Vear of my vather and mother shrubsh: guilty or not guilty.—  Phil. 
I zay c'm not guilty, Prince Nick drawed me in like a young Wench to a Nunnery.— Volens, Nolens.  Tag. 
So, so, Prince Nick drawed thee in, and Squire Catch shall draw thee out: Come Prince Nick, what say you Prince Nick? speak out Prince Nick; quickly Prince Nick, you're in a fine pickle Prince Nick.  Nick. 
I say I am the man that killed the Bear, that stole the Princess; that broke the heart of King Andrew.  Tag. 
Brave! this is the Horse that come of the Mare, that eat the Oats that grew in the Field, that was bought with the Money that jack stole.— Well Prince Nick.— Bring in the Bears-head there.  The Woman's head set on the Table. Nick. 
Now let my malicious adversaries hang their ears, and eat one another as hungry Dogs devour dirty Puddings. Behold my Lords; if this be not the Bear's head, I'm the Sophy of Persia.  Tag. 
I never met a more Intricate business, if any here was acquainted with our defunct ●●●●er, whether Bear or Woman, let them discourse the head.—  Would. 
I and my Sister Lippy know, this is the head of honest Gammer Redstreak, and this we will swear; because those unworthy Princes refused to marry us.  Tag. 
Gentlemen, your Opinions; is it the Bear's, or the Woman's head? All the Woman's the Woman's.  Tag. 
Prince Nick! you hear the Sentence of the Court Prince Nick!  Nick. 
The Court's bewitched, and the head's enchanted.  Tag. 
Sirrah! you grow saucy, tie up Prince Nick.  Nick. 
Why may not the Bears-head be changed to a Woman's, as well as Mambrino's Helmet to a Barber's basin, or a notorious Felon to your Lordships, let the head deny it if it dares.  The hands lift up the head, and it speaks, and then flies up in the Air. Lament and be sad, Redstreak is dead; And here is her head. Prince Nick, and Phil, Did me kill. Nick. 
Oh I confess! I confess! pray hang me quickly, lest the head should do me some mischief.  Tag. 
Take 'em away, I knew this would do, 'tis not the first time Ghosts have appeared to hang their Murderers.  Set those she-Monsters to the Bar. Exeunt Princess Nick and Phil. Tattered. 
Brother, it grows late, and I have no sweetmeats to nibble on, which I think as becoming the gravity of a Judge, as a Toothpick the Solemn State of a Spanish Grandee.— Pray let the Court overrule all they can say, and proceed to Sentence; for my stomach is maukish.  Tag. 
Be it so; I'll give directions to the Jury in a wise speech according to Custom, and then we'll adjourn the Court.  
Gentlemen of the Jury, it was an Ancient saying among the noble Romans, and worthy of everlasting Fame; set the Hare's Head against the Goose-Jiblets, and 'tis a right worthy custom among those modern Heroes: that Collar-Beef to put a layer of fat, and a layer of lean, and what is all this for, but to teach us to mix Mercy with Justice?— We are here met together, and for what are we met togeher? to lie (like Diogenes lazily) in a Tub, till the Sun cures the disease of State; No, we must set our hand to the Plough tail, let every one pluck a hair from the thick bushy Beard of Malefactors, and the Chinn of mischief will soon be bald; as Poor Robin has it in his modern Philosophy: We have discovered a Wasps Nest of Hornets to you, 'tis your part to set the Brimstone of Justice on fire, and smother them with the smoke of Correction.— Two are found Guilty, of stealing most Feloniously Gammer Redstreaks head from her shoulders, so much to her Detriment, that she will hardly ever be her own Woman again.— This appears as clear to the eye of reason, as if it were written with the Rainbow on the South wind.  
The two eldest Daughters of King Andrew, of notorious memory are in for stealing Trenchers.— You must find them Guilty, because We the mouth of the Law determine it; If any grumble of Conscience arise within you. The Court overrules them; Psyche the 2d. also Miss Nonsy shall be freed, because her Predecessor Psyche the first was, though both (for running from their Fathers; and practising publicly what their Sisters did but wish well to) deserve more punishment than they.— Now dispatch! and as Socrates says what you do, do quickly?— I read your Sentence in your looks; The Princes have already suffered, and for your Ladies errand. The Sentence of the Court is, that you never be married, but allowed the Conversation of all men through a Grate without touching any; to Lasses of your Complexion, I think this is as bad as drawing Water in a Cieve, or being hanged in Chains alive; away with them.  Exeunt all but Nonesofair. The Seen changes Non. 
Must I for using what's my own,  
In Hellish hole be left alone;  
With pinches, and pricks of pin,  
Be racked all day, all night with din?  
With Hempen cord, have great Toe cramped,  
By Dog of Newgate thumped and stamped;  
By Rogues and Vermin kept from sleep,  
While some do roar, and some do weep.  
Oh Woossat, harsh, Prince Bruin cruel,  
To sneak away from precious Jewel:  
Yet in these horrors I could sing,  
Had I again my pretty thing.  

Song.  
Let Beauty triumph o'er despair,  
For none are cruel to the Fair;  
The Crooked, the Old, and deformed shall be,  
From cares and affronts never free;  
But the Youthful, the pretty and kind,  
In a Prison some pity will find,  
For all are to Love, and to beauty inclined.   
One gives her a Bottle of Brandy, and Sings— this.  

Come hither, and take this Bottle of Nantz,  
'Twill make mother Woossat soon leave off her rants,  
For I know she is one of my Aunts.  
Though she's hot as a Coddling,  
'Twill make her straight Maudlin.  
She'll sip, she'll sigh, she'll swear, she'll sing, and she'll melt,  
She'll kiss thee, and groan for the pains thou hast felt.   

Chorus.  
Alas my poor Nonsy I grieve for thy smart,  
For though an old Woman be never so tart;  
A dram of the Bottle will soften her heart.   

Song.  
Thy Sisters must howl, for the Trenchers they stole,  
And the Princes are in the Pit-hole.  
There they shall stay,  
For ever and a day.  
But Nonsey shall straight go to play,   1. 
— Make haste poor Nonsey,  2. 
— Make haste poor Nonsey,  Both. 
— Make haste poor Nonsey to Bruin,  1. 
— For Nonsey shall enjoy her pretty thing.  2. 
— For Nonsey etc.—  Both. 
— For Nonsey etc.—  

Chorus of all.  
make haste poor Nonsey.  
make etc.—  
make—  
For Nonsey.   Non. 
Now I am so glad and so sorry, I don't know which Leg to set foremost.— My Sisters were two crabbed vixons to me, yet their Sufferings put out the lighted Tinder of my joy, but then the Steel of my love strikes new Fire into the Tinderbox of my Inclination, and makes my natural affection glow again; I shall enjoy my Bear for ever. Oh happy Nonsey!— yet this was a horrible merry Tragedy, O lo! the Princess, Nicklas, and Philip here again!—  Enter Princess, Phil. and Nick. Nick. 
No, we are but their Ghosts.  Non. 
Their Ghosts, Oh! 'tis well you say so yourselves, for nobody would believe it from any other,— what makes you come to me?  Nick. 
We vowed at our Death's to come, and tell you what place we were at.  Non. 
Poor loving Ghosts, tell me quickly then?—  Nick. 
Immediately after we were dead, we found ourselves in a ●●wer; made all of Wishes paved with thoughts, where at a Table of Heigh-hoes sat King Andrew, and Mother Redstreak at Dinner; they had a Phoenix boiled with a Dish of love Raptures, and drank nothing but Spirit of Ecstasy, we sat down with them, and Six Gods attended us: after Dinner we slept upon a Couch of Virginity, embroidered all over with King's smiles; then walking by a Fountain of Fruition, who should we see but King Andrew and his Queen at Hey-gammer-Cook in a Grotto of Innocence.  Non. 
Oh most ravishing delights! but why is Phillip's Ghost so mopish?  Nick. 
He would have been kind to Gammer Redstreak, and she threw a Glass of ecstasy in his Chops.— One thing dear Princess we must entreat of you, that you will sing that Ingenious Song of the delights of the Bottle three and thirty times, and make as many Cursies to the West; for till that is done, our Soul's won't be free of Elysium.  Nonsy. 
Upon my Honour, I'll do't, though I were to give myself a thump in the back every time.— For example.  

Song.  

The delights of the Bottle, and the Charms of a drab,  
When they pour out their pleasures will make a man mad.  
All the night in deep Healths, and loud Curses is spent,  
Which the dull silly Fop the next day does repent.  
And Love's sweet debauch in a moment is gone,  
But leaves a damned Pox to last all the life long.   

Love and Wine rule the Swords that shed so much Blood  
All the World, but for them, would grow virtuous and good.  
Were it not for the Witchcrafts of Wenching and Wine,  
Madam,— would be poor, and my Lord would be fine.  
But she now keep, her Coach, and can live without thinking,  
And damns her Debauch with his Wenching and Drinking.    Nick. 
Enough, enough, dear Princess; farewell, when thus you do, Think of us two.  Phil. 
Dear Princess, Farewell. When thus you do, think of us two,  
For I'm a Ghost, though I stood so like a Post.  None. 
Farewell, two such loving Ghosts were never found  [— On English Ground.] The delights of the Bottle etc. 
— Oh how I begin to be weary! If this will make Mother Woossat's heart cheerful? sure 'twill refresh me?— Princess thy good health,— Nonsy I'll pledge thee six go-downs,— humming stuff upon my honour. Princess, where is this sold Princess? Asking questions Nonsy!— Time's precious: Ah poor loving Ghosts!— The delights of the Bottle etc. You had hard Fortune; but there's one above knows all. Oh my head swims! and I grow faint with strength.— My dear Bear farewell.— The delights of the Bottle.—  [She falls asleep.] Enter Bruin. Bru. 
Where is my love? where is my dear?  
O lemine I think she's here!  
Where are thy eyes? thy pretty eyes,  
Look how thy love poor Bruin cries.  
She's dead, she's dead, she's dead,  
Oh! whither art thou fled?  
Oh Mother Woossat! Oh cruel Death!  
Oh! who has stopped thy spicey breath?  
Oh pretty Nonsy! Oh hapless Bruin!  
Oh fie! Oh dear! Oh me! Oh thee! Oh hear!  
Thy sobbing howling Bear.  
Oh Woossat Mother! since thou'st killed my joy,  
I will thy Imps and sucking Toads destroy.  
Thy Charms and Pictures all shall perish too;  
And what so e'er thou dost, I will undo.  Woossat flies down in her Chariot. Wooss. 
So Insolent, why, what a Murrain?  
You'll find the stink the worse for stirring.  Bru. 
I will revenge my dear Nonesee,  
On Justice Crab, and eke on thee.  
What Hellish Teen? what Devilish Ire,  
Made thee leave Nonsey in the mire?  Wooss. 
For her you did neglect my Trade,  
And when to Wishing-Chair I called for aid,  
You wheedled him to be your Bawd.  Bru. 
Oh save my love! my Nonsy save,  
And I'll for ever be thy Slave.  
I'll trot to Carriers every week,  
Fresh Country Ware for thee to seek.  
And when thou hast'm,  
I'll bring thee every Gallants Custom.  Wooss. 
Pry'thee stint thy silly talk,  
Thou mayest as well turn Cheese to Chalk.  Bru. 
Oh my Nonsey! Oh my heart Blood and Guts!  
Oh save my dear! Oh save my Queen of Sluts!  
Thou stonyhearted Witch, is this so much?  
Think, what fine Nymphs I did for thee debauch?  Wooss. 
Thou prat'st in vain, the cruel die is cast,  Bru. 
Oh cruel Mother! whither in such haste?  
I'll show thy tricks, and all thy conjuring Art;  
And make thee ride in Triumph in a Care.  
No Gallant e'er shall rap at door,  
And without Man, in vain is Whore.  Wooss. 
thouart insolent I'll hear no more.  Woossat Enters into her Chariot. Bru. 
Inhuman Woossat do not run,  
And let thy Son be quite undone.  
ay thee conjure, don't leave her thus,  
By thy beloved Incubus.  
Thy public Drabs, and private doors,  
Thy little Bottles, and great scores:  
Thy much Impudence, and no shame,  
By all thy sports and by that same:  
Oh stay the Cart! stay the Cart! stay the Cart.  He lays hold, and is drawn up; till he pulls down the Chariot. justice's Crab is driven in, in a Wheel-barrow. Bru. 
O ho, here's Justice Crab! now by this light,  
He'll do me right.  
Dear Soul, I beg you'll check the Hag,  
And read her a Lecture for abusing her Hector.  Crab. 
Matron of love, be kind to bawling Imp,  
And let him have his amorous shrimp.  
If Hector be disgruntled, Trade is broken,  
He'll make thy mischiefs known by tale and token.  
Redstreak and the King, you made die,  
And caused the Princess sad Tragedy.  
Both Sisters ruined by your Plot,  
If Nonsy too should go to Pot.  
He'd blaze all this about the Town,  
And make thy very house pulled down.  Wooss. 
Shall he have mortal only to his use?  
When Pomp and State ne'er so much bigger?  
Can't keep frail Missy to one trigger:  
No, 'tis to credit Trade, and House abuse;  
Besides she'll eat Bread out of mouth;  
I will not suffer't, 'faith, and troth.  Crab. 
Nonsey's business shall be done,  
She's mortal, therefore may be won;  
No, Missy was ever true to one.  Wooss. 
Then Nonsy rise, rise my sweet punk;  
She seemed dead, yet was but drunk.  
Rise from thy Chair as soft as Couch,  
And turn to Arms of loving Slouch.  Nonesofair Wakes. Non. 
Wha, wha, what's the matter? who's there? Not guilty, Not guilty my Lord Tagrag, Heigh ho, I wish you were all hanged for waking me. Gods! have I my pretty thing again?  Bru. 
Thou hast, Oh let me hug and buss it!  
Thanks to great Crab, and Mother Woossat.  Non. 
I have.— Oh let me, hug and buss it!  
Thanks to great Crab, and Mother Woossat.  Crab, 
Come jolly lovers, let's be trudging;  
I'll see you both safe in your lodging.  
There kiss and take your fill of dodging:  
First to my Hall, for there are coming.  
A Crew of jovial youth's a mumming.  
So well you shall be treated there,  
That every Youth, and Damsel here;  
Shall envy joys of Youth and Bear.  [Exeunt all.] The Scene opened, discovers a Crew of Bachanals dressed with Ivy, and Vine-leaves, drinking, and laughing: beyond them a company of Lovers adorned with Garlands of Roses, etc. in a pleasant Grove. 

Song by the Bacchanals.  
Time's an old Rascal, he never will stay,  
Yet in spite of his Scythe, and his Glass;  
He that flies from his liquor● an Ass.  
Boy, drink away, Boy drink away.   While this is a singing, Bacchus rises, riding on a Hogshead dressed with Vine-branches and Ivy. 

Song by the Lovers.  
Ah! Charming, Fair, Divine, Ice, Flames & Darts,  
Nymph, Goddess, beauties, shrine, O eyes and hearts!  
Stars, Suns, and Diomands, Roses, and Lilies,  
Damon Alexis! Oh Cloris! Ah Phillis!  
Powers, Gods, and Fates, Oh pity joy, and pain,  
Languish alas, Fears, Hopes, Smiles, and Disdain.  
Oh cruel Nymph! Ah unrelenting Swain!   While this is singing, Cupid flies down on the Stage. 

Bacchus sings.  
Come my Sons of the Grape, while your faces outshine  
The Sun in the Sky, with the juice of the Vine.  
Let the pale whining lover discover  
How sad are the Chains, and how pleasant are mine.   While this is singing, all the Bacchanals come on the Stage. 

Cupid sings.  
Come happy Lovers, come, and tell,  
The joys that in your Bosom's dwell.  
The pleasures of the hands and eyes,  
How every look and touch surprise,  
Let your persuasive Language prove,  
There is no Paradise but Love.   While this is singing the lovers come on the Stage. 

Chorus of all.  
We come to die or win the Field,  
For hearts with Love and Bacchus filled.  
Can fight, and fall; but never yield.   A Dance of Bacchanals, and Lovers. 

A Song by a Lover.  

When Caelia my heart did surprise,  
In an Ocean of grief my fair Goddess did rise,  
And like Crystal dissolved, the tears flowed from her eyes.  
From her beautiful Cheeks, all the Roses withdrew,  
And she looked like a Lily o'rladen with dew.   

How sweet did her sorrow appear?  
How I trembled, and sighed, and for every tear,  
Made a view to the Gods, and a Prayer to her,  
Oh how soft are the wounds we receive from the fair!  
But the joys and the pleasures there's none can declare.   

What panting, and fainting, I feel,  
When embracing her feet before Caelia I kneel:  
Oh how dear are her smiles! and how sweetly they kill?  
Every minute I die with the thoughts of her Bliss,  
And she breathes a new life in each languishing kiss.   

O Love let us still wear the Chain,  
Let no Passion, but love in our fancies e'er reign,  
Let us often be cured, and ne'er freed from our pain.  
All the pleasures of Wine to the Sense are confined,  
But 'tis Love is the Noblest delight of the mind.    

SONG. by a Bacchanal.  

Lovers grow pale, and Beauties grow stale;  
And their pleasures end all like an old Winter's tale.  
But the Beauties of Wine do still sparkle and shine,  
And make all that love it, and drink it Divine.   

Love makes you old, e'er thirty is told,  
But the aged, and cold, become active and bold,  
Look as plump, and as brisk as the Grape that's unpressed,  
When their heads with the Spirit of Wine are possessed.    The Clouds open, and from the inner part of the Heaven, descends jupiter in his Chariot drawn by Eagles. 

Jupiter sings.  
Let Love and Wine no more contend,  
To whose high Powers all Mortals bend.  
Before this Assembly, where are  
The Amorous, the Youthful, and Fair,  
Make an end of your long doubtful War.   

Chorus.  
Why should you quarrel? and fiercely complain?  
All the World is your own, & your Rites would maintain:  
But without one another, you neither can Reign.   

A Chorus of Cupid and Bacchus.  
Let Hermes the Herald of Heaven, and Fame;  
The Union of Cupid, and Bacchus proclaim.   Trumpets are heard a far off, the Heavens divide; and from the furthest end Mercury flies down attended by Fame, and the whole Heaven appears adorned with Angels, etc. and Music.— 

Mercury sings.  
To all, and to Singular in this great meeting,  
The weighty Gods, Cupid and Bacchus, send greeting.  
Whereas by some Poets a wicked design  
Of difference, was raised between Love and good Wine.  
They now do declare  
An end of the War,  
And the hearts of all Mortals will equally share.   

Chorus.  
When Beauties are cruel to banish your care,  
From Love to the Charms of Bacchus' repair,  
And when Bacchus inflames you with too hot a Fire,  
To the pleasures of Love for assistance retire.   A Catch sung in three parts, and danced. By Bacchanals and Lovers. 

Let's love, and drink, and drink, and love, and drink on,  
What have we else in this dull World to think on?  
But still to love, to drink, and love, and drink on?   

Let's love, and drink, and drink, and love for ever,  
And let each Nymph be made a kind believer.  
For he that loves, and drinks, will ne'er deceive her.   Enter two Elysian Princes, and dance through Hoops. The Dance ended, Mercury speaks to the Audience. 
Although the War 'twixt Love and Wine is done,  
We dare not triumph, till your pleasure's known;  
For here the very Gods your Powers own.  
If all that Love and Drink loud plaudits ring,  
The joyful Gods, and Nymphs again shall sing,  Sing. 
— And Nonsy shall enjoy her pretty thing.    
FINIS.  

EPILOGUE.  

LIke Cunning Wives to cheat you to your Bliss,  
We took the Garb and Humours of your Miss.  
As gay,— as vain, and eyrie we are grown;  
And you, as brisk; as young Gallants came on:  
And look as dull as they, now th' Act is done.  
Since Nonsense, Noise, and Show still bear the Bell,  
As wise Physicians do with Madmen deal,  
We humour you, to make you sooner well.  
If this won't take—  
T'insure our future charge, and Credit too.  
As undertakers for great Volumes do.  
We'll paint your Coats of Arms o'er every Scene,  
And dedicate 'em t'ye to draw you in.   

Poor Nonsy dreading the approaching storm,  
Sits trembling like a Hare within her Form:  
While Critics swarm from every part o'th'Town,  
Prepared with Damning noise to run her down:  
She fears no Generous Hunters, for they come  
Only for sport, and would prevent her Doom.  
She fears no snarling Fops, though every foot,  
Like eager Lovers they will put her to't.  
Still hunting close, and snatching at her Scut;  
No, only sneaking Poachers, she can dread;  
That with their long-tailed Mongrels hunt for Bread,  
And lurk in holes to knock her on the head.  
Tou Gentlemen that for your pleasure came,  
Let not those creeping Vermin kill your game:  
Give her fair Law, and while in view she flies,  
Your swelling hopes and sweet delights will rise:  
But when you paunch her, all your pleasure dies.  
Keep up your sport; and to prevent our sorrow,  
Save her this night, and run her down to morrow.  
Non-so.— Now to the Misses, thus poor Nonsy bends,  
To leave no stone unturned to gain our ends.  
You She-Weavers, that without lawless Engines, come;  
Engines—  
That like dark Lanterns lurk in little Room,  
And manage twenty Shuttles with one Loom:  
While honest labourers that can use but one,  
For want of work lie still, and are undone.  
Let all your Tools be stirring for your Aid,  
Or we will burn your Engines, and destroy your Trade.   
FINIS.
