After some time, he came to see his Wife at last, When she begg'd pardon for all that was past; Saying, her Fits for evermore she would refrain, If he'd be pleas'd to receive her again; My former Follies I pray now forgive, Ile ne'r offend you no more while I live: Then in much love they both homeward did go Thus has he made a sweet Wife of a Shrow. FINIS. [18.] One being set upon by Robbers at five a Clock in the Morning, _Gentlemen_, says he to 'em, _you open Shop very early to day_. Mr _Hill_ he did say [12.] H _non est litera_, But a note of aspiration still; Now I think on't better, If it be not a letter, With him it will go very ill. _On_ Galla _going to the Bath_. When _Galla_ for her health goes to the Bath, [14.] She carefully doth hide, as is most meet, With aprons of fine linnen or a sheet, Those parts that modesty concealed hath; Nor only those, but even the breast and neck, That might be seen or shown without all check; But yet one foul and unbeseeming place.

A Welshman and an Englishman disputed, [5.] Which of their Lands maintain'd the greatest state, The Englishman the Welshman quite confuted, Yet would the Welshman nought his brags abate: Ten Cooks, quoth he, in Wales one wedding sees; Truth quoth the other, each man tosts his cheese. 'Fore a Justice was brought [12.] One for a great fault; Y'are an errant Dog, Rogue, says he; Sir, I am no Dog, Nor so errant a Rogue. As your Worship ---- takes me to be.

Sir, says she, _I know not whether you have had your breakfast yea or no_. My love and I for kisses play'd [5.] She would keep stakes, I was content, And when I wonne, she would be payd; This made me aske her what she meant, Sayth she, since you are in this wrangling vaine, Take you your kisses, and give me mine againe. _On a farmer knighted._ In my conceit Sir _John_, you were to blame, [5.] To make a quiet good wife, a mad dame.
