. _Mor_. Yet thus far by your favour Widow, 'tis tuffe. _Wid_. And therefore not for my dyet, for I love a tender one. _Mor_. Sweet Widow leave your frumps, and be edified: you know my state, I sell no Perspectives, Scarfs, Gloves, nor Hangers, nor put my trust in Shoe-ties; and where your Husband in an age was rising by burnt figs, dreg'd with meal and powdered sugar, saunders, and grains, wormeseed and rotten Raisins, and such vile Tobacco, that made the footmen mangie; I in a year have put up hundreds inclos'd, my Widow, those pleasant Meadows, by a forfeit morgage: for which the poor Knight takes a lone chamber, owes for his Ale, and dare not beat his Hostess: nay more-- _Wid_. Good Sir no more, what ere my Husband was, I know what I am, and if you marry me, you must bear it bravely off Sir. _Mor_. Not with the head, sweet Widow. _Wid_. No sweet Sir, but with your shoulders: I must have you dub'd, for under that I will not stoop a feather. My husband was a fellow lov'd to toyle, fed ill, made gain his exercise, and so grew costive, which for that I was his wife, I gave way to, and spun mine own smocks course, and sir, so little: but let that pass, time, that wears all things out, wore out this husband, who in penitence of such fruitless five years marriage, left me great with his wealth, which if you'le be a worthie gossip to, be knighted Sir.

Indeed his Brother's sunk sir, God be with him, a perisht man indeed, and drown'd at Sea. _Morec_. How saidst thou, good my friend, his Brother drown'd? _Savil_. Untimely sir, at Sea. _Morec_. And thy young Master left sole Heir? _Savil_. Yes Sir. _Morec_. And he wants money? _Sav_. Yes, and sent me to you, for he is now to be knighted. _Mor_. Widow be wise, there's more Land coming, widow be very wise, and give thanks for me widow. _Widow_. Be you very wise, and be knighted, and then give thanks for me Sir. _Savil_. What sayes your worship to this mony? _Mor_. I say he may have mony if he please. _Savil_. A thousand Sir? _Mor_.
