Unfortunately this little penny book is generally too broad in its humour to be reprinted; but one extract, which may be reproduced, will suffice to show its quality:--"Come who buys my new Fashion'd Periwigs, if there be any manner of Single man, Widdower, or Batchelor that thinks his owne naturall Haire not good enough for him, here is _Jack in a box_, that will fit him to a haire, with all sorts of Periwigs, and all sorts of colours and fashions, both long Haire, or short Haire, Flaxen haire, or yellow haire, black, blew, red, tawny, browne, or Abraham[F. 122] Colour, thats halfe Nits, and half Lice; or if any bauld pated fellow among you that have lost his hair off from his head, I have a Periwig for him of goodly long Haire, that will hang downe and cover all his shoulders, and that may serve to cover all his knavery: or, if any younger Brothers that desires to have their naturall Haire that growes upon their heads Dyed of another Colour? here are all sorts of powders, of several colours and Fashions, that will doe the trick gallantly." [Footnote 122: Nares thinks that _Abram_-coloured hair is a corruption for _auburn_, but it is just possible that, being a patriarch, very gray or white hair is meant.] _To one that desired me not to name him._ Be safe, nor feare thy selfe so good a fame, [70.] That, any way, my booke should speake thy name: For, if thou shame, ranck'd with my friends, to goe, I am more asham'd to have thee thought my foe. [4.] A Scholar meeting a Countreyman upon the Road rid up very briskly to him; but the Countreyman, out of respect to him was turning off his Horse to give him the Road, when the Scholar, laying his Hand upon his Sword, said, _'Tis well you gave me the Way, or I'd----_ _What wou'd you have done?_ said the Countreyman, holding up his Club at him---- _Given it to you, Sir_, says he, pulling off his Hat to him. [17.] One wondred there was so many Pick pockets about _London_, seeing there's a Watch at every corner: _Pah_, says another, _they'd as willingly meet with a watch as any thing else_. _More dew_ the Mercer, with a kinde salute, [5.] Would needs intreate my custome for a suit: Here Sir, quoth he, for Sattins, Velvets call, What e're you please, I'le take your word for all. I thank'd, took, gave my word; say then, Am I at all indebted to this man?
