TAY. O, thy huſband!
Yes, faith, there’s life in’t, now: It is referr’d.
If wee once ſee it vnder the ſeales, wench, then, 10
Haue with ’hem for the great _Carroch_, ſixe horſes,
And the two _Coach-men_, with my _Ambler_, bare,
And my three women: wee will liue, i’ faith,
The examples o’ the towne, and gouerne it.
I’le lead the faſhion ſtill.
EIT. You doe that, now, 15
Sweet _Madame_.
TAY. O, but then, I’ll euery day
Bring vp ſome new deuice. Thou and I, _Either-ſide_,
Will firſt be in it. I will giue it thee;
And they ſhall follow vs. Thou ſhalt, I ſweare,
Weare euery moneth a new gowne, out of it. 20
EITH. Thanke you good _Madame_.
TAY. Pray thee call mee _Taile-buſh_
As I thee, _Either-ſide_: I not loue this, _Madame_.
ETY. Then I proteſt to you, _Taile-buſh_, I am glad
Your _Buſineſſe_ ſo ſucceeds.
TAY. Thanke thee, good _Eyther-ſide_.
ETY. But Maſter _Either-ſide_ tells me, that he likes 25
Your other _Buſineſſe_ better.
TAY. Which?
EIT. O’ the Tooth-picks.
TAY. I neuer heard on’t.
EIT. Aske M^r. _Mere-craft_.
MER. _Madame?_ H’is one, in a word, I’ll truſt his malice,
With any mans credit, I would haue abus’d!
Mere-craft _hath whiſper’d with the while_.
MAN. Sir, if you thinke you doe pleaſe mee, in this, 30
You are deceiu’d!
MER. No, but becauſe my _Lady_,
Nam’d him my kinſman; I would ſatisfie you,
What I thinke of him: and pray you, vpon it
To iudge mee!
MAN. So I doe: that ill mens friendſhip,
Is as vnfaithfull, as themſelues.
TAY. Doe you heare? 35
Ha’ you a _Buſineſſe_ about Tooth-picks?
MER. Yes, _Madame_.
Did I ne’r tell’t you? I meant to haue offer’d it
Your _Lady-ſhip_, on the perfecting the pattent. [145]
TAY. How is’t!
