e cakes and creame,--one of your parish, Good what-doe-you-lack. _Crac_. This is offensive to My reputation. _Cla_. You shall heare more on't: When thou art married, if the kind charity Of other men permitt thee to geet thee children That call thy wife mother, bring them up To people shopps and cheat for 18d, The pretious youth that fathers them. Walke, walke, you and your Captaine _Huff_ to _London_, And tell thy mother how thou has't sped i'th country, And let her moane thee. _Crac_.
